INSTRUCTION MANUAL iM88 VHF MARINE TRANSCEIVER This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is sub-ject to the follow two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmfulinterference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,including interference that may cause undesired operation. IC-M88-draft.qxd 02.9.26 2:44 PM Page A (1,1) SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION 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 duringthe course of employment by individuals aware of the haz-ards, and the ways to minimize such hazards. This radio isNOT intended for use by the “General Population” in an un-controlled environment. This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for“Occupational Use Only”. In addition, your Icom radio complies with the follow-ing Standards and Guidelines with regard to RF energy and electromagneticenergy levels and evaluation of such levels for exposure to humans: • FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electro-magnetic Fields. • American National Standards Institute (C95.1-1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Elec-tromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz. • American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous ElectromagneticFields– RF and Microwave. To ensure that your expose to RF electromagnetic en- ergy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupationaluse, always adhere to the following guidelines:• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna at- tached, as this may damaged the radio and may also cause you to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna sup-plied with this radio by the manufacturer or antenna specifically authorized bythe manufacturer for use with this radio. CAUTION WARNING • 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 expo-sure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmittingwhen the “TX indicator” lights red. You can cause the radio to transmit bypressing the “PTT” switch. • ALWAYS use Icom authorized accessories (antennas, batteries, belt clips, etc.). Use of unauthorized accessories can cause the FCC RF exposurecompliance requirements to be exceeded. • ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the body when transmitting and only use the Icom belt-clips which are listed onpage 25 when attaching the radio to your belt, etc., to ensure FCC RF ex-posure compliance requirements are not exceeded. To provide the recipi-ents of your transmission the best sound quality, hold the antenna at least5 cm (2 inches) from your mouth, and slightly off to one side. The information listed above provides the user with the information needed tomake him or her aware of RF exposure, and what to do to assure that this radiooperates with the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio. Electromagnetic Interference/CompatibilityDuring transmissions, your Icom radio generates RF energy that can possiblycause 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 ashospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites. i IC-M88-draft.qxd 02.9.26 2:44 PM Page ii (1,1) ii IN CASE OF EMERGENCYIf your vessel requires assistance, contact other vessels andthe Coast Guard by sending a distress call on Channel 16. ❍ USING CHANNEL 16 DISTRESS CALL PROCEDURE1. “MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY.”2. “THIS IS ...........................” (name of vessel)3.

To: Andy Leimer [email protected] FCC Application Processing Branch Re: FCC ID AFJIC-M88 Applicant: ICOM Incorporated Correspondence Reference Number: 24516 731 Confirmation Number: EA861171 Q1) Updated body worn statement "ALWAYS use Icom authorized accessories (antennas, batteries, belt clips, etc.). Use of unauthorized accessories can cause the FCC RF exposure" could easily be misunderstood to refer to any ICOM accessory. Please refer to the specific accessories tested. A1)Please see the updated page of the Users Manual in "RF Exposure" folder to include the following information for SAR compliance: “The following accessories are authorized for use with this product. Use of accessories other than those specified may result in RF exposure levels exceeding the FCC requirements for wireless RF exposure.” Belt Clip (M/N: MP-79) Swivel Belt Clip (M/N: MB-68) Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery Pack(M/N:BP-227) Alkaline Battery Holder (M/N:BP-226) Speaker-Microphone (M/N:HM-138) Q2) Updated RF safety instruction with additional information about the definition of "occupational". References to occupational use was found in the warning label but no related instructions in the user manual were found. A1)Please see the updated page of the Users Manual in "RF Exposure" folder to include the following information for SAR compliance: Q3) Additional information about the SAR measurement system. Please provide manufacturer, general description of, and photographs. A3)The original system was manufactured by Oscar Garay, 3D-EMC Laboratory in Florida. Since the IEEE 1528 standard has still not been ratified and keep evolving, the system has been improved and modified in order to keep up with the latest requirements and/or recommendations. The description and detail of the system was included at the Exhibit 5. SAR system configuration & test methodology in the report. Q 4)Strong justification for use of head liquid calibration for body worn measurements. Provide SAR results using probe calibrated in body liquid as appropriate. A4)The conversion factor calibrated using tested tissue (γ muscle : 7.850, ζ muscle@cal : 0.0360 [W/Kg/mV]) is found to yield similar or lower SAR results than that calibrated using the brain tissue (γ brain : 7.623, ζ brain@cal : 0.0362 [W/Kg/mV]). The percentage difference between the sensitivities in each target tissue is found to be less than 0.56 [%].
