Key cover iii New2001 RADIO OPERATION WARNING Icom requires the radio operator to meet the FCC Requirements for Radio Frequency Exposure. An omnidirectional antenna with gain not greater than 9 dBi must be mounted a minimum of 5 meters (measured from the lowest point of the antenna) vertically above W ARNING the main deck and all possible personnel. This is the minimum safe separation distance estimated to meet all RF exposure compliance requirements. This 5 meter distance is based on the FCC Safe Maximum Permissible Exposure

(MPE) distance of 3 meters added to the height of an adult

(2 meters) and is appropriate for all vessels. For watercraft without suitable structures, the antenna must be mounted so as to maintain a minimum of 1 meter vertically between the antenna, (measured from the lowest point of the antenna), to the heads of all persons AND all persons must stay outside of the 3 meter MPE radius. Do not transmit with radio and antenna when persons are within the MPE radius of the antenna, unless such persons (such as driver or radio operator) are shielded from antenna field by a grounded metallic barrier. The MPE Radius is the minimum distance from the antenna axis that person should maintain in order to avoid RF exposure higher than the allowable MPE level set by FCC. iv FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE LIMITS MAY ALLOW THOSE WITHIN THE MPE RADIUS TO EXPERIENCE RF RADIATION ABSORPTION WHICH EXCEEDS THE FCC MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) LIMIT. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE RADIO OPERATOR TO ENSURE THAT THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS ARE OBSERVED AT ALL TIMES DURING RADIO TRANSMISSION. THE RADIO OPERATOR IS TO ENSURE THAT NO BYSTANDERS COME WITHIN THE RADIUS OF THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS. Determining MPE Radius THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) RADIUS HAS BEEN ESTIMATED TO BE A RADIUS OF ABOUT 3M PER OET BULLETIN 65 OF THE FCC. THIS ESTIMATE IS MADE ASSUMING THE MAXIMUM POWER OF THE RADIO AND ANTENNAS WITH A MAXIMUM GAIN OF 9dBi ARE USED FOR A SHIP MOUNTED SYSTEM. New2001 AVERTISSEMENT POUR LES OPRATEURS RADIO LE NON-RESPECT DE CES LIMITES PEUT CAUSER, POUR LES PERSONNES SITUES DANS LE RAYON D'EXPOSITION MAXIMALE ADMISSIBLE, UNE ABSORPTION DE RAYONNEMENT DE RF SUPRIEURE L'EXPOSITION MAXIMALE ADMISSIBLE FIXE PAR LA FCC. L'OPRATEUR RADIO EST RESPONSABLE D'ASSURER QUE LES LIMITES D'EXPOSITION MAXIMALE ADMISSIBLE SOIENT RESPECTES EN TOUT TEMPS PENDANT LA TRANSMISSION RADIO. L'OPRATEUR RADIO DOIT S'ASSURER QU'AUCUNE PERSONNE PRSENTE NE SE SITUE L'INTRIEUR DU RAYON D'EXPOSITION MAXIMALE ADMISSIBLE. tablir le rayon d'exposition maximale admissible ON ESTIME QUE LE RAYON D'EXPOSITION MAXIMALE ADMISSIBLE EST D'ENVIRON 3 M, TEL QUE STIPUL DANS LE BULLETIN OET 65 DE LA FCC. CETTE DISTANCE ESTIME TIENT COMPTE D'UN SYSTME INSTALL SUR UN NAVIRE UTILISANT LA PUISSANCE MAXIMALE DE LA RADIO ET DES ANTENNES DONT LE GAIN MAXIMAL EST DE 9dBi. Icom exige que l'oprateur radio se conforme aux exigences de la FCC en matire d'exposition aux radiofrquences. Une antenne omnidirectionnelle dont le gain ne dpasse pas 9dBi doit tre fixe une distance minimale de 5 mtres (mesure depuis le point le plus bas de l'antenne) AVERTISSEMENT verticalement au-dessus du pont principal et de tout le personnel qui peut s'y trouver. Il s'agit de la distance de scurit minimale prvue pour satisfaire aux exigences de conformit en matire d'exposition aux RF. Cette distance de 5 mtres est tablie en fonction de l'exposition maximale admissible scuritaire de 3 mtres tablie par la FCC, laquelle on ajoute la hauteur d'un adulte (2 mtres); cette distance convient pour tous les navires. Dans le cas des embarcations sans structure convenable, l'antenne doit tre fixe de faon maintenir une distance minimale de 1 mtre verticalement entre cette antenne (mesure depuis son point le plus bas) et la tte de toute personne prsente; toutes les personnes prsentes doivent se tenir l'extrieur d'un rayon d'exposition maximale admissible de 3 mtres. Ne pas mettre l'aide de la radio et de l'antenne lorsque des personnes se trouvent l'intrieur du rayon d'exposition maximale admissible de cette antenne, moins que ces personnes (comme le conducteur ou l'oprateur radio) ne soient protges du champ de l'antenne par un cran mtallique reli la masse. Le rayon d'exposition maximale admissible quivaut la distance minimale que cette personne doit maintenir entre elle et l'axe de l'antenne pour viter une exposition aux RF suprieure au niveau d'exposition maximale admissible fix par la FCC. v New2001 FCC INFORMATION NOTE 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.

Mount the bracket securely to a surface that is more than 10 mm thick and can support more than 5 kg using the 2 supplied screws (5 20 mm). Attach the transceiver to the bracket so that the face of the transceiver is at 90 to your line of sight when operating it. CAUTION: KEEP the transceiver and microphone at least 1 m (3.3 ft) away from the vessels magnetic navigation compass. NOTE: Check the installation angle. The function display may not be easy to read at some angles. NOTE for the IC-M330G and IC-M330GE:

Built-in GPS receiver is located at the right top of the front panel. If the transceiver is covered with any object that interrupts the GPS signals from the satellites, the GPS receiver will not calculate its position. Therefore, when you use the built-in GPS receiver, be sure the transceiver is positioned so the GPS receiver has a clear view to receive signals from satellites. 36 New2001 MBF-5 installation An optional MBF-5 flush mount kit is available for mounting the transceiver to a flat surface (less than 20 mm thick), such as an instrument panel. KEEP the transceiver and microphone at least 1 meter away from your vessels magnetic navigation compass. CONNECTIONS AND MAINTENANCE 4. Attach the clamps on both sides of the transceiver.

RADIO OPERATION WARNING Icom requires the radio operator to meet the FCC Requirements for Radio Frequency Exposure. An omnidirectional antenna with gain not greater than 9 dBi must be mounted a minimum of 5 meters (measured from the lowest point of the antenna) vertically above W ARNING the main deck and all possible personnel. This is the minimum safe separation distance estimated to meet all RF exposure compliance requirements. This 5 meter distance is based on the FCC Safe Maximum Permissible Exposure

(MPE) distance of 3 meters added to the height of an adult

(2 meters) and is appropriate for all vessels. For watercraft without suitable structures, the antenna must be mounted so as to maintain a minimum of 1 meter vertically between the antenna, (measured from the lowest point of the antenna), to the heads of all persons AND all persons must stay outside of the 3 meter MPE radius. Do not transmit with radio and antenna when persons are within the MPE radius of the antenna, unless such persons (such as driver or radio operator) are shielded from antenna field by a grounded metallic barrier. The MPE Radius is the minimum distance from the antenna axis that person should maintain in order to avoid RF exposure higher than the allowable MPE level set by FCC. iv FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE LIMITS MAY ALLOW THOSE WITHIN THE MPE RADIUS TO EXPERIENCE RF RADIATION ABSORPTION WHICH EXCEEDS THE FCC MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) LIMIT. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE RADIO OPERATOR TO ENSURE THAT THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS ARE OBSERVED AT ALL TIMES DURING RADIO TRANSMISSION. THE RADIO OPERATOR IS TO ENSURE THAT NO BYSTANDERS COME WITHIN THE RADIUS OF THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS. Determining MPE Radius THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) RADIUS HAS BEEN ESTIMATED TO BE A RADIUS OF ABOUT 3M PER OET BULLETIN 65 OF THE FCC. THIS ESTIMATE IS MADE ASSUMING THE MAXIMUM POWER OF THE RADIO AND ANTENNAS WITH A MAXIMUM GAIN OF 9dBi ARE USED FOR A SHIP MOUNTED SYSTEM. New2001
