Safety Information

6. Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain equipment may not be
shielded against RF signals from your Iridium-designed satellite unit.
7. Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of 6 inches be
maintained between a wireless phone’s antenna and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations
of Wireless Technology Research.
8. Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is
adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.
Turn your unit OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
9. Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles.
Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the
manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
10. Posted Facilities
Turn your unit OFF in any facilities where posted notices so require.
11. Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your unit OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted
“Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
12. Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your unit OFF and disconnect the power supply when you are in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Obey all signs and instructions. Sparks from your battery or power source in such areas could
cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are not always clearly marked. They include, but are not
limited to: fueling areas such as gasoline stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities; areas where fuel odors are present (for example, if a gas/propane leak occurs in a car or home);
areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other
area where you normally would be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
PERSONS WITH PACEMAKERS
• Should ALWAYS keep the Iridium-designed satellite unit more than six inches from their pacemaker
when the unit is turned ON.
• Should turn the unit OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place.
