SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION 8

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
During transmissions, your Icom radio generates RF energy that
1
could possible cause interference with other devices or systems. 2
To avoid such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs
are posted to do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas 3
that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, 4
aircraft, and blasting sites.
5
Occupational/Controlled Use
The radio transmitter is used in situations in which persons are 6
exposed as consequence of their employment provided those
persons are fully aware of the potential for exposure and can 7
exercise control over their exposure. 8
