Safety Training Information - Icom IC-SAT100M Manual Básico

■ Safety training information

Your Icom radio generates
RF electromagnetic energy
during transmit mode. This
radio is designed for and
W A R N I N G
classified 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 IC RF
Exposure Requirements, the transmitter
antenna installation shall comply with the
following three conditions:
1. The transmitter antenna gain shall not
exceed 3 dBi.
2. The antenna is required to be located
outside of a vehicle and kept at a
distance of 20 centimeters (7.9 inches)
or more between the transmitting
antenna of this device and any persons
during operation. For small vehicle
as worst case, the antenna shall be
located on the roof top at any place
on the center line along the vehicle in
order to achieve 20 centimeters (7.9
inches) separation distance. In order
to ensure this distance is met, the
installation of the antenna must be
mounted at least 20 centimeters (7.9
inches) away from the nearest edge of
the vehicle in order to protect against
exposure to bystanders.
3. Transmit only when people
outside the vehicle are at least the
recommended minimum distance
of 20 centimeters (7.9 inches) away
from the properly installed antenna.
This separation distance will ensure
that there is sufficient distance from a
properly installed externally-mounted
antenna to satisfy the RF exposure
requirements in the applicable RF
exposure compliance standards.

To ensure that your
exposure to RF
electromagnetic energy
is within the FCC and
C AU TIO N
IC allowable limits for
occupational use, always adhere to the
following guidelines:
• DO NOT operat e the radio without a proper
antenna attached, as this may damage the
radio and may also cause you to exceed
FCC and IC RF exposure limits. A proper
antenna is the antenna supplied with this
radio by the manufacturer or an 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 and IC RF exposure compliance
requirements to be exceeded. The radio is
transmitting when the status indicator lights
red. 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, aircraft, and blasting sites.
