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 indicator” lights red. You can
cause the radio to transmit by pressing the “PTT” switch.

• ALWAYS use Icom authorized accessories (antennas, batteries,

belt clips, speaker/mics, etc). Use of unauthorized accessories can
cause the FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be ex-
ceeded.

• ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inches) away from

the body when transmitting and only use the Icom belt-clips which
listed in page 25 when attaching the radio to your belt, etc., to en-
sure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are not ex-
ceeded. To provide the recipients of your transmission the best
sound quality, hold the antenna at least 5 cm (2 inches) from
mouth, and slightly off to one side.

The information listed above provides the user with the information
needed to make him or her aware of RF exposure, and what to do
to assure that this radio operates within the FCC RF exposure lim-
its of this radio.

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 areas where signs are
posted to do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are
sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft,
and blasting sites.
