Icom IC-F9511HT 5

5SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

WARNING

Your Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic en-

ergy during transmit mode. This radio is designed

for and classified as “Occupational 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 Popula-

tion” in an uncontrolled environment.

•ForcompliancewithFCCandIndustryCanadaRFExposure Re-

quirements, the transmitter antenna installation shall comply with

the following two conditions:

1. The transmitter antenna gain shall not exceed 0 dBi.

2. IC-F9511HT:

The antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle and kept

at a distance of 66.2 centimeters or more between the transmitting

antenna of this device and any persons during operation. For small

vehicle 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

66.2 centimeters separation distance. In order to ensure this dis-

tance is met, the installation of the antenna must be mounted at

least 66.2 centimeters away from the nearest edge of the vehicle in

order to protect against exposure to bystanders.

3. Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the

recommended minimum distance of 148 centimeters away from

the properly installed antenna. This separation distance will en-

sure that there is sufﬁcient distance fr om a pr operly inst alled

externally-mounted antenna to satisfy the RF exposure require-

ments in the applicable RF exposure compliance standards.

CAUTION

To ensure that your exposure to RF electromag-

netic energy is within the FCC allowable limits

for occupational use, always adhere to the fol-

lowing guidelines:

•DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, 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 indicator” lights red. 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 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.
