This radio is designed for and clas-sified as “Occupational Use Only”, meaning it must beused only during the course of employment by individualsaware of the hazards, and the ways to minimize such haz-ards. This radio is NOT intended for use by the “GeneralPopulation” in an uncontrolled environment. This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure lim-its for “Occupational Use Only”. In addition, your Icom radio complies withthe following Standards and Guidelines with regard to RF energy andelectromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels for exposureto humans: • FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Com- pliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Fre-quency Electromagnetic Fields. • American National Standards Institute (C95.1-1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Fre-quency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz. • American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992), IEEE Recom- mended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Elec-tromagnetic Fields– RF and Microwave. • The following accessories are authorized for use with this product. Use of accessories other than those specified may result in RF ex-posure levels exceeding the FCC requirements for wireless RF ex-posure.; Belt Clip (MB-94), Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery Pack(BP-231) and Speaker-microphone (HM-131L). To ensure that your expose to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupa-tional use, always adhere to the following guidelines: CAUTION WARNING • DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damaged the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC RFexposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with thisradio by the manufacturer or antenna specifically authorized by themanufacturer 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 FCCRF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio istransmitting when the “Transmit indicator” lights red. You can causethe radio to transmit by pressing the “PTT” switch. • ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the body when transmitting and only use the Icom belt-clip which is listedon page 33 when attaching the radio to your belt, etc., to ensure FCCRF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. To providethe recipients of your transmission the best sound quality, hold theantenna at least 5 cm (2 inches) from your mouth, and slightly off toone side. The information listed above provides the user with the informationneeded to make him or her aware of RF exposure, and what to do to as-sure that this radio operates with the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio.Electromagnetic Interference/CompatibilityDuring transmissions, your Icom radio generates RF energy that can pos-sibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such in-terference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so.DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electro- magnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.Occupational/Controlled UseThe radio transmitter is used in situations in which persons are exposedas consequence of their employment provided those persons are fullyaware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over theirexposure. !IC-F14_F24.qxd 04.6.17 6:22 PM Page i (1,1) iv iii FOREWORDREAD ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and completely before using the transceiver. SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL— This instruction manual contains important operating instructions for the IC-F14/F14S VHF TRANSCEIVER and IC-F24/F24S UHF TRANSCEIVER . EXPLICIT DEFINITIONSOPERATING NOTES• When transmitting with a portable radio, hold the radio in a vertical position with its microphone 5 to 10 centimeters (2 to 4 inches)away from your mouth. Keep the antenna at least 2.5 centimeters(1 inch) from your head and body. • If you wear a portable two-way radio on your body, ensure that the antenna is at least 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) from your body whentransmitting. WORD DEFINITION R WARNING Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock may occur. NOTE If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk of personal injury, fire or electric shock. CAUTION Equipment damage may occur. PRECAUTIONR WARNING! NEVER hold the transceiver so that the antenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of the body, especiallythe face or eyes, while transmitting. The transceiver will performbest if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) away from thelips and the transceiver is vertical. R WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels. CAUTION! NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack. NEVER connect the transceiver to a power source other than the BP-230, BP-231 or BP-232. Such a connection will ruin the trans-ceiver. DO NOT push the PTT when not actually desiring to transmit. AVOID using or placing the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below –22°F (–30°C) or above +140°F(+60°C). DO NOT modify the transceiver for any reason. MAKE SURE the flexible antenna and battery pack are securely attached to the transceiver, and that the antenna and battery packare dry before attachment. Exposing the inside of the transceiverto water will result in serious damage to the transceiver.The use of non-Icom battery packs/chargers may impair transceiverperformance and invalidate the warranty.

American Telecommunications Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave, McLean, VA 22101 October 25, 2004 RE: FCC ID: AFJ277602_ATCB001830 Attention: Tri Luu I have a few comments on this Application. Please note that further comments may arise in response to answers provided to the questions below. 1. Please note that page 48 of the SAR report You have “(i.e. 15mm at 835MHz) in the sentence referring to the liquid separation distance to the dipole. The report then states that 13mm at 450MHz was used. Please confirm that the “15mm at 835MHz” mentioned is strictly an example and not actual data used. 2. Please note that the manual states that in body worn configurations the transmitter is to be kept at least 2.5cm from the body. However, while you have shown testing in face position at 2.5cm, your SAR report does not show that body SAR was done at 2.5cm. Please provide a SAR report that clearly shows the worse case SAR in body configuration was done at 2.5cm. 3. Please note that the accessory use statement in the manual states to use the accessories listed on page 33. However, please note that there is no page 33 of the manual and please note that the list of accessories appears to be on pages 30 and 31 of the manual. Please correct to give accurate location of data in the manual. 4. Please provide the dipole calibration certificate and data.

RE: FCC ID: AFJ277602_ATCB001830 Attention: Tri Luu I have a few comments on this Application. Please note that further comments may arise in response to answers provided to the questions below. 1. Please note that page 48 of the SAR report You have “(i.e. 15mm at 835MHz) in the sentence referring to the liquid separation distance to the dipole. The report then states that 13mm at 450MHz was used. Please confirm that the “15mm at 835MHz” mentioned is strictly an example and not actual data used. “15mm at 835MHz” is an example as a part of our report format template to explain how we perform the system verification in general. On the other hand, 13mm at 450 MHz was specified distance between the dipole and outside of the phantom thus after adding 2mm thickness of the phantom the distance between the dipole and the tissue become 15mm as guided in IEEE 1528 standard. 2. Please note that the manual states that in body worn configurations the transmitter is to be kept at least 2.5cm from the body. However, while you have shown testing in face position at 2.5cm, your SAR report does not show that body SAR was done at 2.5cm. Please provide a SAR report that clearly shows the worse case SAR in body configuration was done at 2.5cm. In OET65 sup.C, it is explicitly specified to test DUT with 2.5 cm between front face of the DUT and the phantom in face-front held configuration while no such a specification in body-worn configuration. In body-worn configuration, if manufacturer specify and provide belt-clips, we have been tested the DUT with the belt-clips touching the phantom, otherwise we tested with 10~25 mm distance (no more than 25 mm) which represented for the thickness of a generic belt-clip. It is well known that SAR is subject to the distance and it gets higher as smaller the distance is. We have been filed several applications to FCC in this manner without any problem for last few years. The 2.5 cm distance in user’s manual is just a general recommendation to ensure the DUT is being operated safely. 3. Please note that the accessory use statement in the manual states to use the accessories listed on page 33. However, please note that there is no page 33 of the manual and please note that the list of accessories appears to be on pages 30 and 31 of the manual. Please correct to give accurate location of data in the manual. Pl find revised user manual attached. 4. Please provide the dipole calibration certificate and data. The dipole was house made as guided in Annex G in IEEE 1528 and tuned by ourselves. The given below is details.
