DC power cable
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
Cable Length Requirements
To meet Iridium performance requirements and comply with FCC
regulations, care must be taken to use the appropriate total RF cable
length. Your antenna distributor should provide the appropriate cable.
WARNING
To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices, the minimum safety distance is 55 cm (21.7 inches). This
separation distance should be maintained between antenna and people during operation of the antenna.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Beam Communications could void the users authority to operate the
equipment or the warranty.

Introduction
The RST740 antenna is designed for Iridium applications where
long RF cables are needed and a passive antenna cannot
be used. The RST740 has an integrated power amplifier (for
transmitting signals to the satellite) and low noise amplifier
(for receiving signals from the satellite) incorporated into the
antenna.
