INSTRUCTION MANUAL This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference.
i SAFETY TRAINING INFORMA TION Y our 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.
ii 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.
iii FOREWORD READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely before using the transceiver . SA VE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL— This instruction manual contains important operating instructions for the IC-F50 VHF TRANSCEIVER and IC-F60 UHF TRANSCEIVER .
iv PRECAUTION R W ARNING! 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.
