RADIO OPERATION WARNING
Icom requires the radio operator to meet the
FCC Requirements for Radio Frequency
Exposure. An omnidirectional antenna with
gain not greater than 9 dBi must be mounted a
W ARN ING
minimum of 5 meters (measured from the
lowest point of the antenna) vertically above
the main deck and all possible personnel. This is the
minimum safe separation distance estimated to meet all RF
exposure compliance requirements. This 5 meter distance is
based on the FCC Safe Maximum Permissible Exposure
(MPE) distance of 3 meters added to the height of an adult
(2 meters) and is appropriate for all vessels.
For watercraft without suitable structures, the antenna must be
mounted so as to maintain a minimum of 1 meter vertically between
the antenna, (measured from the lowest point of the antenna), to
the heads of all persons AND all persons must stay outside of the 3
meter MPE radius.
Do not transmit with radio and antenna when persons are within the
MPE radius of the antenna, unless such persons (such as driver
or radio operator) are shielded from antenna field by a grounded
metallic barrier. The MPE Radius is the minimum distance from
the antenna axis that person should maintain in order to avoid RF
exposure higher than the allowable MPE level set by FCC.
iv
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE LIMITS MAY ALLOW
THOSE WITHIN THE MPE RADIUS TO EXPERIENCE RF
RADIATION ABSORPTION WHICH EXCEEDS THE FCC
MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) LIMIT.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE RADIO OPERATOR
TO ENSURE THAT THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE
EXPOSURE LIMITS ARE OBSERVED AT ALL TIMES
DURING RADIO TRANSMISSION. THE RADIO
OPERATOR IS TO ENSURE THAT NO BYSTANDERS
COME WITHIN THE RADIUS OF THE MAXIMUM
PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS.
Determining MPE Radius
THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE)
RADIUS HAS BEEN ESTIMATED TO BE A RADIUS OF
ABOUT 3M PER OET BULLETIN 65 OF THE FCC.
THIS ESTIMATE IS MADE ASSUMING THE MAXIMUM
POWER OF THE RADIO AND ANTENNAS WITH A
MAXIMUM GAIN OF 9dBi ARE USED FOR A SHIP
MOUNTED SYSTEM.
AVERTISSEMENT POUR LES OPÉRATEURS RADIO
Icom exige que l'opérateur radio se conforme aux
exigences de la FCC en matière d'exposition aux
radiofréquences. Une antenne omnidirectionnelle
dont le gain ne dépasse pas 9dBi doit être fixée
à une distance minimale de 5 mètres (mesurée
AVERTISSEMENT
depuis le point le plus bas de l'antenne)
verticalement au-dessus du pont principal et de tout le personnel
qui peut s'y trouver. Il s'agit de la distance de sécurité minimale
prévue pour satisfaire aux exigences de conformité en matière
d'exposition aux RF. Cette distance de 5 mètres est établie en
fonction de l'exposition maximale admissible sécuritaire de 3 mètres
établie par la FCC, à laquelle on ajoute la hauteur d'un adulte (2
mètres); cette distance convient pour tous les navires.
Dans le cas des embarcations sans structure convenable, l'antenne
doit être fixée de façon à maintenir une distance minimale de 1
mètre verticalement entre cette antenne (mesurée depuis son
point le plus bas) et la tête de toute personne présente; toutes
les personnes présentes doivent se tenir à l'extérieur d'un rayon
d'exposition maximale admissible de 3 mètres.
Ne pas émettre à l'aide de la radio et de l'antenne lorsque des
personnes se trouvent à l'intérieur du rayon d'exposition maximale
admissible de cette antenne, à moins que ces personnes (comme
le conducteur ou l'opérateur radio) ne soient protégées du champ
de l'antenne par un écran métallique relié à la masse. Le rayon
d'exposition maximale admissible équivaut à la distance minimale
que cette personne doit maintenir entre elle et l'axe de l'antenne
pour éviter une exposition aux RF supérieure au niveau d'exposition
maximale admissible fixé par la FCC.
LE NON-RESPECT DE CES LIMITES PEUT CAUSER,
POUR LES PERSONNES SITUÉES DANS LE RAYON
D'EXPOSITION MAXIMALE ADMISSIBLE, UNE ABSORPTION
DE RAYONNEMENT DE RF SUPÉRIEURE À L'EXPOSITION
MAXIMALE ADMISSIBLE FIXÉE PAR LA FCC.
L'OPÉRATEUR RADIO EST RESPONSABLE D'ASSURER QUE
LES LIMITES D'EXPOSITION MAXIMALE ADMISSIBLE SOIENT
RESPECTÉES EN TOUT TEMPS PENDANT LA TRANSMISSION
RADIO. L'OPÉRATEUR RADIO DOIT S'ASSURER QU'AUCUNE
PERSONNE PRÉSENTE NE SE SITUE À L'INTÉRIEUR DU
RAYON D'EXPOSITION MAXIMALE ADMISSIBLE.
Établir le rayon d'exposition maximale admissible
ON ESTIME QUE LE RAYON D'EXPOSITION MAXIMALE
ADMISSIBLE EST D'ENVIRON 3 M, TEL QUE STIPULÉ DANS
LE BULLETIN OET 65 DE LA FCC. CETTE DISTANCE ESTIMÉE
TIENT COMPTE D'UN SYSTÈME INSTALLÉ SUR UN NAVIRE
UTILISANT LA PUISSANCE MAXIMALE DE LA RADIO ET DES
ANTENNES DONT LE GAIN MAXIMAL EST DE 9dBi.

••Read all rules and regulations pertaining to priorities and
keep an up-to-date copy handy. Safety and distress calls
take priority over all others.
••You must monitor Channel 16 when you are not operating
on another channel.
••False or fraudulent distress calls are prohibited under law.
DDPrivacy
••Information overheard but not intended for you cannot
lawfully be used in any way.
••Indecent or profane language is prohibited.
DDRadio licenses
(1) SHIP STATION LICENSE
You must have a current radio station license before using
the transceiver. It is unlawful to operate a ship station which
is not licensed.
Inquire through your dealer or the appropriate government
agency for a Ship-Radiotelephone license application. This
government-issued license states the call sign which is your
craft’s identification for radio purposes.
(2) OPERATOR’S LICENSE
A Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit is the license
most often held by small vessel radio operators when a
radio is not required for safety purposes.
The Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit must be
posted or kept with the operator. Only a licensed radio
operator may operate a transceiver.
However, non-licensed individuals may talk over a
transceiver if a licensed operator starts, supervises, ends
the call and makes the necessary log entries.
A current copy of the applicable government rules and
regulations is only required to be on hand for vessels in
which a radio telephone is compulsory. However, even
if you are not required to have these on hand it is your
responsibility to be thoroughly acquainted with all pertinent
rules and regulations.
NOTE: Even though the transceiver is capable of
operation on VHF marine channels 3, 21, 23, 61, 64,
81, 82 and 83, according to FCC regulations these
simplex channels cannot be lawfully used by the general
population in USA waters.
