Safety – Iridium Transceiver Extreme
Your Extreme handset is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When
it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. (NOTE:
Refer to Iridium Extreme Phone Manual for additional Information)
•
The Iridium Extreme handset has a transceiver which is designed to
be used with an external antenna. This antenna transmits RF energy.
The Iridium antenna ( tted via an extension coaxial cable to the
cradle) must be located more than > 0.3 meters (1 foot) from human
body (person) when in operation.
•
International agencies have set standards and recommendations for
the protection of public exposure to RF electromagnetic energy.
