AVERTISSEMENT Votre radio Icom produit une énergie électromagnétique de radiofréquences (RF), en mode de transmission. Cette radio est conçue pour un «usage pro-fessionnel  seulement»  et  classée comme tel, ce qui signifie qu’elle doit être utilisée uniquement dans le cadre d’un  travail  par  des  personnes conscientes des dangers et des mesu-res visant à minimiser ces dangers. Elle N’EST PAS conçue pour une «uti-lisation grand public», dans un envi-ronnement non contrôlé.•  An de satisfaire aux exigences de la FCC et d’Industrie Canada en matière d’exposition aux RF, il est néces-saire que l’antenne soit installée conformément aux trois conditions suivantes:  1.  Le gain de l’antenne du radio émetteur ne doit pas dépasser 0dBi.  2. IC-F5121D:     Il faut que l’antenne émettrice de cet appareil soit pla-cée à l’extérieur d’un véhicule et tenue éloignée d’au moins 45 centimètres de toute personne pendant le fonctionnement. Dans le pire des cas, pour un petit vé-hicule, l’antenne doit être placée sur le toit, n’importe où dans l’axe central du véhicule, an de respecter une distance de 45 cm du bord le plus rapproché du véhicule et ainsi éviter que les personnes présentes soient exposées.  2. IC-F6121D:     Il faut que l’antenne émettrice de cet appareil soit pla-cée à l’extérieur d’un véhicule et tenue éloignée d’au moins 37 centimètres de toute personne pendant le fonctionnement. Dans le pire des cas, pour un petit vé-hicule, l’antenne doit être placée sur le toit, n’importe où dans l’axe central du véhicule, an de respecter une distance de 37 cm du bord le plus rapproché du véhicule et ainsi éviter que les personnes présentes soient exposées.  3. IC-F5121D:     Émettre uniquement lorsque les personnes à l’exté-rieur du véhicule se trouvent à au moins la distance minimale recommandée de 100 cm de l’antenne cor-rectement installée. Cette distance de sécurité assu-rera que les personnes soient placées sufsamment loin d’une antenne correctement xée à l’extérieur pour satisfaire aux exigences en matière d’exposition aux RF, en vertu des normes de conformité applica-bles.  3. IC-F6121D:     Émettre uniquement lorsque les personnes à l’exté-rieur du véhicule se trouvent à au moins la distance minimale recommandée de 82 cm de l’antenne correc-tement installée. Cette distance de sécurité assurera que les personnes soient placées sufsamment loin d’une antenne correctement xée à l’extérieur pour satisfaire aux exigences en matière d’exposition aux RF, en vertu des normes de conformité applicables.MISE EN GARDE Afin de vous assurer que votre exposi-tion à une énergie électromagnétique de RF se situe dans les limites permi-ses par la  FCC  pour une  utilisation grand public, veuillez en tout temps respecter les directives suivantes:  •  NE PAS faire fonctionner la radio sans qu’une an-tenne appropriée y soit xée, car ceci risque d’endom-mager la radio et causer une exposition supérieure aux limites établies par la FCC. L’antenne appropriée est celle qui est fournie avec cette radio par le fabri-cant ou une antenne spécialement autorisée par le fabricant pour être utilisée avec cette radio.  •  NE PAS émettre pendant plus de 50 % du temps total d’utilisation de l’appareil («50 % du facteur d’utilisa-tion»). Émettre pendant plus de 50 % du temps total d’utilisation peut causer une exposition aux RF supé-rieure aux limites établies par la FCC. La radio est en train d’émettre lorsque le témoin du mode de trans-mission s’afche sur l’écran ACL. La radio émettra si vous appuyez sur le bouton du microphone.Interférence électromagnétique et compatibilité En mode de transmission, votre radio Icom produit de l’énergie de RF qui peut provoquer des interférences avec d’autres appareils ou systèmes. Pour éviter de telles inter-férences, mettez la radio hors tension dans les secteurs où une signalisation l’exige. NE PAS faire fonctionner l’émetteur dans des secteurs sensibles au rayonnement électromagnétique tels que les hôpitaux, les aéronefs et les sites de dynamitage.INFORMATION EN MATIÈRE DE SÉCURITÉA-6903H-3EXImprimé au Japon© 2011 Icom Inc.
