SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION 41216151413121110987654193CAUTIONTo ensure that your exposure to RF electromag-netic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use, 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 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 “transmit indicator” appears on the LCD. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing 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 radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.
204SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATIONAVERTISSEMENT Votre radio Icom produit une énergie électro-magnétique de radiofréquences (RF), en mode de transmission. Cette radio est conçue pour un «usage professionnel seulement» et clas-sée 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 mesures visant à minimiser ces dangers. Elle N’EST PAS conçue pour une «utilisation grand public», dans un environnement non contrôlé.• Afin de satisfaire aux exigences de la FCC et d’Industrie Canada en matière d’exposition aux RF, il est nécessaire 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 placée à l’exté-rieur d’un véhicule et tenue éloignée d’au moins 57 centimètres de toute personne pendant le fonctionnement. Dans le pire des cas, pour un petit véhicule, l’antenne doit être placée sur le toit, n’importe où dans l’axe central du véhicule, afin de respecter une distance de 57 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 placée à l’exté-rieur d’un véhicule et tenue éloignée d’au moins 41 centimètres de toute personne pendant le fonctionnement. Dans le pire des cas, pour un petit véhicule, l’antenne doit être placée sur le toit, n’importe où dans l’axe central du véhicule, afin de respecter une distance de 41 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’extérieur du véhi-cule se trouvent à au moins la distance minimale recommandée de 136 cm de l’antenne correctement installée. Cette distance de sécurité assurera que les personnes soient placées suffisam-ment loin d’une antenne correctement fixée à l’extérieur pour sa-tisfaire aux exigences en matière d’exposition aux RF, en vertu des normes de conformité applicables. 3. IC-F6121D: Émettre uniquement lorsque les personnes à l’extérieur du véhi-cule se trouvent à au moins la distance minimale recommandée de 117 cm de l’antenne correctement installée. Cette distance de sécurité assurera que les personnes soient placées suffisam-ment loin d’une antenne correctement fixée à l’extérieur pour sa-tisfaire aux exigences en matière d’exposition aux RF, en vertu des normes de conformité applicables.
214SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION12345678910111213141516MISE EN GARDE Afin de vous assurer que votre exposition à une énergie électromagnétique de RF se situe dans les limites permises 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 antenne appro-priée y soit fixée, car ceci risque d’endommager la radio et cau-ser une exposition supérieure aux limites établies par la FCC. L’antenne appropriée est celle qui est fournie avec cette radio par le fabricant 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’utilisa-tion de l’appareil («50 % du facteur d’utilisation»). Émettre pen-dant plus de 50 % du temps total d’utilisation peut causer une exposition aux RF supérieure aux limites établies par la FCC. La radio est en train d’émettre lorsque le témoin du mode de transmission s’affiche 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 interférences, 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.
