SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
Your Icom radio generates RF electromag-
netic energy during transmit mode. This
radio is designed for and classified as “Oc-
cupational Use Only,” meaning it must be
used only during the course of employment
by individuals aware of the hazards, and the
ways to minimize such hazards. This radio is
NOT intended for use by the “General Popu-
lation” in an uncontrolled environment.

• For compliance with FCC and Industry Canada RF Expo-
sure Requirements, the transmitter antenna installation
shall comply with the following two conditions:
shall comply with the following two conditions:
1. The transmitter antenna gain shall not exceed 0 dBi.
2. The antenna is required to be located outside of a ve-
hicle and kept at a distance of 40 centimeters or more
between the transmitting antenna of this device and any
persons during operation. For a small vehicle, the an-
tenna as worst case, the antenna shall be located on the
roof top at any place on the centre line along the vehicle
in order to achieve 40 centimeters separation distance.
In order to ensure this distance is met, the installation of
the antenna must be mounted at least 40 centimeters
away from the nearest edge of the vehicle in order to
protect against exposure to bystanders.

lowable limits for occupational use, always
adhere to the following guidelines:

•
DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna at-
tached, as this may damage the radio and may also cause
you to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is
the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or
an antenna specifically authorized by the manufacturer for
use with this radio.

•
DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time
(“50% duty cycle”). Transmitting more than 50% of the time
can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to
be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the “TX” indica-
tor appears. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing
the PTT switch.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
During transmissions, your Icom radio generates RF energy
that can possibly cause interference with other devices or
systems. To avoid such interference, turn off the radio in ar-
eas where signs are posted to do so.
