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. IC-F9511S/T:
The antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle and kept at

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, and the ways to minimize
such hazards. This radio is NOT intended for use by the
“General Population” in an uncontrolled environment.
a distance of 48 cm 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 centre line along the vehicle in order to achieve 48 cm separation
distance. In order to ensure this distance is met, the installation of the
antenna must be mounted at least 48 cm away from the nearest edge
of the vehicle in order to protect against exposure to bystanders.
at a distance of 38.6 cm 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 centre line along the vehicle in order to achieve 38.6 cm separa
tion distance. In order to ensure this distance is met, the installation of
the antenna must be mounted at least 38.6 cm away from the nearest
edge of the vehicle in order to protect against exposure to bystanders.
Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the recommended minimum distance of 100 cm 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.
IC-F9521S/T:
Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the recommended minimum distance of 86.4 cm 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 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 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”). “50% duty cycle” is also applicable to PSTN (Public Switched
Telephone Network) mode. 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.

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.
