Icom IC-F50V [3/48] G information

G INFORMATION

• 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 38 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.
