329SAFETY 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 “Gen-eral Population” in an uncontrolled environ-ment.•ForcompliancewithFCCandIndustryCanadaRFExpo-sure Requirements, the transmitter antenna installation 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 36 centimeters or more between the transmitting antenna of this device and any persons during operation. For a small vehicle, the antenna 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 36 centimeters separation distance. In order to ensure this distance is met, the installation of the antenna must be mounted at least 36 centimeters away from the nearest edge of the vehicle in order to protect against exposure to bystanders.To ensure that your exposure to RF elec-tromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use, al-ways 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 press-ing the “PTT” switch.Electromagnetic Interference/CompatibilityDuring 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 ra-diation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.
