SAFETY
Exposure to radio frequency energy
IsatPhone 2 is a radio transmitter and receiver. When the
phone or Bluetooth handsfree is turned on, it emits low
levels of radio frequency energy. The phone is designed
and manufactured not to exceed the safety limits for
exposure to radio frequencies (RF) as recommended by
the ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionising
Radiation Protection) and as adopted within mandatory
standards of the European Commission and the United
States of America.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is used to measure
radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when using
a mobile phone. IsatPhone 2 is compliant with the EC
standards for exposure specified in EN 50360 and EN
62209-1:2006. For use of the phone at the ear, these
standards set a SAR limit of 2.0 W/kg averaged over a 10g
volume.
IsatPhone 2 is also compliant with the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) standards and
test procedures as reflected in the requirements of 47
CFR 2.1093 and FCC OET 65 Supplement C. For use of
the phone at the ear, these standards set a SAR limit
of 1.6 W/kg averaged over a 1g volume.
Tests for SAR are conducted in accordance with
international guidelines for testing using standard
operating positions as per the procedures for the
applicable standards, with the device transmitting at
the highest certified power levels in all operational
frequency bands.
Note: Note: The SAR requirements for IsatPhone 2 are
met for radiating operation whilst handheld at the ear.
No measures have been taken for SAR compliance when
radiating in a body-mounted position. Hence, radiating
operation of the IsatPhone 2 is not recommended when in
a body-mounted position.
It should be noted that the IsatPhone 2 is not capable
of radiating when the antenna is in the stowed position.
Hence, when operating in 'incoming call alerting' mode
(see page 19) with the antenna stowed, (either with or
without the handset in the holster), the handset cannot
radiate and may be body-mounted without posing a
safety/health risk.

Pacemakers

Wireless phones may adversely affect the operation of
some implanted cardiac pacemakers and other medically
implanted equipment. Pacemaker patients should be
aware that the use of an IsatPhone 2 in close proximity to
a pacemaker might cause the device to malfunction. If a
minimum distance of 15cm is kept between an IsatPhone 2
and a pacemaker, the risk of interference is limited. If you
have any reason to suspect interference is occurring,
immediately switch off your IsatPhone 2. Contact your
cardiologist for more information.
Hearing aids
Although most modern hearing aids are immune to
radio frequency interference from satellite terminals,
some wireless devices may interfere with some hearing
aids. In the event of such interference from the use
