SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION Your Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and classified as “Occupational Use Only”, meaning it must be used only during the course of employment by individuals aware of the hazards, W ARN ING and the ways to minimize such hazards. This radio is NOT intended for use by the “General Population” in an uncontrolled environment.
8 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION 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, aircraft, and blasting sites.
SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION Afin de vous assurer que votre exposition à une énergie électromagnétique de RF se situe dans les limites permises par la FCC et d’IC 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 fixée, car ceci risque d’endommager la radio et causer une exposition supérieure aux limites établies par la FCC et d’IC.
