RADIO OPERATOR WARNING
Your Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic energy
during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and clas-
sified as “General Population Use” in an uncontrolled
environment.
This radio has been evaluated for compliance at the dis-
tance of 2.5 cm (1 inch) with the FCC and IC RF exposure
limits for “General Population Use.” In addition, your Icom
radio complies with the following Standards and Guidelines
with regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy lev-
els and evaluation of such levels for exposure to humans:
• FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 01-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Compli-
ance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency
Electromagnetic Fields.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.1-1992), IEEE Standard
for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Fre-
quency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992), IEEE Recom-
mended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Elec-
tromagnetic Fields– RF and Microwave.
• The following accessories are authorized for use with this prod-
uct. Use of accessories other than those specified may result in RF
exposure levels exceeding the FCC and IC requirements for wireless
RF exposure.; Belt Clip (MB-103), Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Pack
(BP-245N).
To ensure that your expose to RF electromagnetic en-
ergy is within the FCC and IC allowable limits for general
population use, always adhere to the following guide-
lines:
• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this
may damaged the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC and
IC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with
this radio by the manufacturer or 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 and IC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.
The radio is transmitting when the “transmit indicator” appears on
the LCD. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the “PTT”
switch.
• ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the
body when transmitting and only use the Icom belt clip which is listed
on page 43 when attaching the radio to your belt, etc., to ensure FCC
and IC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. To
provide the recipients of your transmission the best sound quality,
hold the antenna at least 5 cm (2 inches) from your 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 as-
sure that this radio operates with the FCC and IC RF exposure limits of this
radio.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
During transmissions, your Icom radio generates RF energy that can pos-
sibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such in-
terference, 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.
