iv
SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
Your Icom radio generates RF
electromagnetic energy during transmit
mode. This radio is designed for and
classied as “Occupational 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 “General Population” in an
uncontrolled environment.
• For compliance with FCC and Industry Canada RF
Exposure 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
vehicle and kept at a distance of 50 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 50 centimeters
separation distance. In order to ensure this distance is
met, the installation of the antenna must be mounted
at least 50 centimeters away from the nearest edge
of the vehicle in order to protect against exposure to
bystanders.
To ensure that your exposure to RF
electromagnetic 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 specically 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 appears. You can cause the radio to transmit by
pressing the PTT switch.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
During 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, and blasting sites.

INFORMATION EN MATIÈRE DE SÉCURITÉ
Votre radio Icom produit une énergie
électromagnétique de radiofréquences (RF), en
mode de transmission. Cette radio est conçue
pour un «usage professionnel seulement» et
classée comme tel, ce qui signie 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.
• An 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 deux conditions suivantes:
1.
Le gain de l'antenne du radio émetteur ne doit pas dépasser 0 dBi.
2. Il faut que l'antenne émettrice de cet appareil soit placée
à l'extérieur d'un véhicule et tenue éloignée d'au moins 50
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, an de respecter une distance de 50 cm du bord le
plus rapproché du véhicule et ainsi éviter que les personnes
présentes soient exposées.
An 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 appropriée
y soit xée, car ceci risque d'endommager 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 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'utilisation
de l'appareil («50% du facteur d'utilisation»). Émettre pendant 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'afche 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 et les sites de dynamitage.
