Safety Information

Important: Read this information before using your satellite phone.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
Your satellite telephone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver.
When it is ON, it receives and also 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 "Phone Operation" on page 9.
