SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

Your Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic energy

during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and clas-

sified 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 haz-

ards. This radio is NOT intended for use by the “General

Population” in an uncontrolled environment.

This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure lim-

its for “Occupational Use Only”. In addition, your Icom radio complies with

the following Standards and Guidelines with regard to RF energy and

electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels for exposure

to humans:

• FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Com-

pliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Fre-

quency Electromagnetic Fields.

• American National Standards Institute (C95.1-1992), IEEE Standard

for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Fre-

quency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.

• American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992), IEEE Recom-

mended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Elec-

tromagnetic Fields– RF and Microwave.

• The following accessories are authorized for use with this product.

Use of accessories other than those speciﬁed may result in RF ex-

posure levels exceeding the FCC requirements for wireless RF ex-

posure.; Belt Clip (MB-98), Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery Pack

(BP-227), Alkaline Battery Case (BP-226) and Speaker-microphone

(HM-138).

To ensure that your expose to RF electromagnetic

energy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupa-

tional use, always adhere to the following guidelines:

CAUTION

WARNING

IC-F50_F60_MDC-2.qxd 06.11.17 4:39 PM Page i (1,1)

ION

• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this

may damaged 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 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 “TX indicator” lights red. You can cause the

radio to transmit by pressing the “PTT” switch.

• ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the

body when transmitting and only use the Icom belt-clip which is listed

on page vi when attaching the radio to your belt, etc., to ensure FCC

RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. To provide

the recipients of your transmission the best sound quality, hold the

antenna at least 5 cm (2 inches) from your mouth, and slightly off to

one side.

The information listed above provides the user with the information

needed to make him or her aware of RF exposure, and what to do to as-

sure that this radio operates with the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility

During transmissions, your Icom radio generates RF energy that can pos-

sibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such in-

terference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so.

DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electro-

magnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.

Occupational/Controlled Use

The radio transmitter is used in situations in which persons are exposed

as consequence of their employment provided those persons are fully

aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their

exposure.

EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS

OPERATING NOTES

• When transmitting with a portable radio, hold the radio in a vertical po-

sition with its microphone 5 to 10 centimeters (2 to 4 inches) away

from your mouth. Keep the antenna at least 2.5 centimeters (1 inch)

from your head and body.

• If you wear a portable two-way radio on your body, ensure that the an-

tenna is at least 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) from your body when trans-

mitting.

WORD DEFINITION

RWARNING Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock

may occur.

NOTE If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk

of personal injury, fire or electric shock.

CAUTION Equipment damage may occur.

PRECAUTION

RWARNING! NEVER hold the transceiver so that the antenna

is very close to, or touching exposed parts of the body, especially

the face or eyes, while transmitting. The transceiver will perform

best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) away from the

lips and the transceiver is vertical.

RWARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a headset

or other audio accessories at high volume levels.

CAUTION! NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack.

NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source other than the

BP-226 or BP-227. Such a connection will ruin the transceiver.

DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to transmit.

AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or in

areas with temperatures below –30°C (–22°F) or above +60°C

(+140°F).

DO NOT modify the transceiver for any reason.

MAKE SURE the ﬂexible antenna and battery pack are securely

attached to the transceiver, and that the antenna and battery pack

are dry before attachment. Exposing the inside of the transceiver

to water will result in serious damage to the transceiver.

The use of non-Icom battery packs/chargers may impair transceiver

performance and invalidate the warranty.

FCC caution:

Changes or modiﬁcations to this device, not expressly approved

by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate this transceiver

under FCC regulations.
