PRECAUTIONS

R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver during
a lightning storm. It may result in an electric shock, cause a fire or damage the transceiver. Always disconnect the power source and antenna before a storm.
R WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to an
AC outlet. This may pose a fire hazard or result in an electric shock.
R WARNING! NEVER connect the transceiver to a
power source of more than 16 V DC or use reverse polarity. This could cause a fire or damage the transceiver.
R WARNING! NEVER cut the DC power cable be-
tween the DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is made after cutting, the transceiver might be damaged.
R WARNING! NEVER place the transceiver where
normal operation of the vehicle may be hindered or where it could cause bodily injury.
CAUTION: NEVER allow children to touch the trans-
ceiver.

DO NOT use or place the transceiver in areas with tem-
peratures below ­30°C (­22°F) or above +60°C (+140°F), or in areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.
DO NOT operate the transceiver without running the ve-
hicle's engine. The vehicle's battery will quickly run out when the transceiver transmits while the vehicle's engine is OFF.
DO NOT place the transceiver in excessively dusty envi-
ronments.
DO NOT place the transceiver against walls. This will ob-
struct heat dissipation.
DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzine or alcohol
when cleaning, as they will damage the transceiver surfaces.
BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when
operating continuously for long periods of time.
USE the specified microphone only. Other microphones
have different pin assignments and may damage the transceiver.

CAUTION: NEVER expose the transceiver to rain,
snow or any liquids.

4 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

W AR N IN G

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.

3. IC-F5121D: Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the recommended minimum distance of 136 centimeters 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.

The antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle and

kept at a distance of 57 centimeters or more between the trans-

mitting 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 57 centimeters separation distance. In order to

ensure this distance is met, the installation of the antenna must

be mounted at least 57 centimeters away from the nearest edge

of the vehicle in order to protect against exposure to bystanders.

2. IC-F6121D:

The antenna is required to be located outside of a vehicle and

kept at a distance of 41 centimeters or more between the trans-

mitting 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 41 centimeters separation distance. In order to

ensure this distance is met, the installation of the antenna must

be mounted at least 41 centimeters away from the nearest edge

of the vehicle in order to protect against exposure to bystanders.

C AU TIO N

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"). Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the "transmit indicator" appears on the LCD. 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.
