ComCenter-II ‘Outdoor’
Product Manual
PRECAUTIONS:
Please read and understand this User’s Manual before installing your ComCenter. Careless or incorrect
installation can degrade performance, damage both new and existing equipment, and incur unexpected
network airtime charges.
Safety Information
1. FAA Regulations
ASE products are
NOT
FAA-approved and are
NOT
intended for aircraft use.
2. Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
Your Iridium-designed satellite unit is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives
and sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
International agencies have set standards and recommendations for the protection of public exposure to RF
electromagnetic energy:
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996
• Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker (VDE) DIN-0848
• United States Federal Commission, Radio Frequency Exposure Guidelines (1996)
• National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom, GS 11, 1988
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE C95, 1-1992
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) Report 86
• Department of Health and Welfare Canada, Safety Code 6
These standards are based on extensive scientific review. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers,
and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of
research to develop the updated ANSI standard.
The design of your phone complies with these standards when used as described under “Unit Operation.”
3. Unit Operation
Do not operate the unit when a person is within 4 inches (10 centimeters) of the antenna. A person or object
within 4 inches (10 centimeters) of the antenna could impair call quality and may cause the unit to operate
at a higher power level than necessary and expose that person to RF energy in excess of that established
by the FCC RF Exposure Guidelines.
4. Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey
them. Observe the following guidelines when using your phone while driving:
•Give full attention to driving; driving safely is your first responsibility.
•Use hands-free phone operation, if available.
•Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.
5. 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.
