iCOM IC-F1100D Series VHF Digital Transceivers

FCC INFORMATION

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
CAUTION : Changes or modifications to this transceiver, not expressly approved by Icom Inc., could void your authority to operate this transceiver under FCC regulations. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference.
RECOMMENDATION
CLEAN THE TRANSCEIVER THOROUGHLY IN A BOWL OF FRESHWATER
after exposure to saltwater, and dry it before operating. Otherwise, the transceiver’s keys and switches may become unusable, due to salt crystallization, and/or the charging terminals of the battery pack may corrode.

NOTE: If the transceiver’s waterproof protection appears defective, carefully clean the transceiver with a soft, damp (freshwater) cloth, then dry it before operating. The transceiver may lose its waterproof protection if the case, jack cap, or connector cover is cracked or broken, or the transceiver has been dropped. Contact your Icom distributor or your dealer for advice.

PRECAUTIONS

A WARNING! NEVER use or charge Icom battery packs with non-Icom transceivers or non-com chargers. OnlIcom battery packs are tested and approved for use withlcom transceivers or charged with Icom chargers. Using third-party or counterfeit battery packs or chargers may cause smoke, fire, or cause the battery to burst.
AWARNING! 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
A WARNING! NEVER operate the transceiver with a headset or other audio accessories at high volume levels. The continuous high-volume operation may cause a ringing in your ears. If you experience the ringing, reduce the volume level or discontinue use.
CAUTION: DO NOT short the terminals of the battery pack. Shorting may occur if the terminals touch metal objects such as a key, so be careful when placing the battery packs (or the transceiver) in bags, and so on. Carry them so that shorting cannot occur with metal objects. Shorting may damage not only the battery pack, but also the transceiver.
CAUTION: DO NOT use harsh solvents such as Benzine or alcohol when cleaning. This could damage the equipment surfaces. If the surface becomes dusty or dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth.
CAUTION: DO NOT place or leave the transceiver in excessively dusty environments. This could damage the transceiver.
NEVER Place the transceiver in an insecure place to avoid Inadvertent use by unauthorized persons.
NOTE: DO NOT place or leave the transceiver in areas with temperatures below-25°C (13°F) or above +55°C (+131F)ETS version, below -30C (-22F or above +60C(+140″ F) TIA Version, or in areas subject to direct Sunlight, Such as the dashboard. BE CAREFUL The transceiver meets IP67 requirements Tor dust-tight and waterproof protection. However, once the transceiver has been dropped, dust protection and splash resistance cannot De guaranteed due to the ract tnat the transceiver may be cracked, or the waterproof seal damage, ana so O HSOM V e optional HM-222HLWP, -4LW, or H-9LV IS attached. Battery caution Misuse of Li-ion batteries may result in the following hazards smoke, fire, or the battery may rupture. Misuse can also cause damage to the battery or degradation of battery performance.
A DANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals, or NEVER modify the battery pack. This may cause heat generation, and the battery may burst, emit smoke or catch fire.
A DANGER! NEVER place or leave battery packs in areas with temperatures above 60C (140E). High-temperature buildup in the battery cells, such as could occur an area Venice the battery cells to rupture or catch fire Excessive temperatures may also degrade the battery pack’s performance or shorten the battery cell s life.
A DANGER NEVER strikes or otherwise impact the battery pack. Do not use the battery pack if it has been severely impacted or dropped, or if the pack has been subjected to heavy pressure. Battery pack damage may not De visible on the outside or the case. Even r the surface or the battery does not show cracks or any other damage, the cells inside the battery may rupture or catch fire.
DANGER! NEVER place battery packs near a fire. Fire or heat may cause them to rupture or explode. Dispose of used battery packs in accordance with local regulations.

FCC

Your Icom radio generates RF electromagnetic energy while transmitting. This radio is designed for and classified as “Occupational Use Only.” This means 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. This radio has been tested and complies with the FCC and IC RF exposure limits for”Occupational Use Only”. In addition, your com radio complies with the following Standards and Guidelines with regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels for exposure to humans:
WARNING
FCC KDB Publication 447498 D03, Evaluating9 Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Ēxposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.American National Standards Institute (C95.1-2019). IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Electric, Magnetic, and Electromagnetic Fields, 0 Hz to 300 American National Standards Institute (C95.3-2021), IEEE Recommended Practice for Measurements andComputations of Electric, Magnetic, and Electromagnetic Fields with Respect to Human Exposure to Such Fields, 0 Hz to 300 GHz antennas, batteries, belt clips, speaker-microphone, and other accessories that are listed in “options on this sheet, are authorized for use with this product. The use of accessories other than those specified may result in RF exposure levels exceeding the FCC and IC requirements for wireless RF exposure. Health Canada Safety Code 6- Limits of Human Exposure to Electromagnetic Energy in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz.

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.
Occupational/Controlled Use
The radio transmitter is used in situations in which persons are exposed as a consequence of their employment, provided those persons are fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure.
