SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
CAUTION
To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic en- ergy is within the FCC allowable limits, always adhere to the following guidelines:
•DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may also cause you to ex- ceed FCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the an- tenna 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” is lit. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the “PTT” switch.
•ALWAYS use Icom authorized accessories (antennas, batter- ies, belt clips, speaker/mics, etc.). Use of unauthorized acces- sories can cause the FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.
