[. . . ] INSTRUCTION MANUAL i7000 HF/VHF/UHF ALL MODE TRANSCEIVER IMPORTANT READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL CAREFULLY before attempting to operate the transceiver. EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS WORD R WARNING CAUTION NOTE DEFINITION Personal injury, fire hazard or electric shock may occur. No risk or personal injury, fire or electric shock. SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL. This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for the IC-7000. FOREWORD We understand that you have a choice of many different radios in the market place. We want to take a couple of moments of your time to thank you for making the IC-7000 your radio of choice, and hope you agree with Icom's philosophy of "technology first. " Many hours of research and development went into the design of your IC-7000. SUPPLIED ACCESSORIES The transceiver comes with the following accessories. [. . . ] to select the default polarity.

The clearance height below the antenna array can be determined in most cases from the RF power at the antenna input terminals. As different exposure limits have been recommended for different frequencies, a relative table shows a guideline for installation considerations. Below 30 MHz, the recommended limits are specified in terms of V/m or A/m fields as they are likely to fall within the near-field region. [. . . ]
