2. Safety Summary
The ODU and the IDU should be installed by a qualified professional technician trained in the installation
of electronics and antennas. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings on the
equipment, in the User Manual or in this guide violates the safety standards of the design, manufacture
and intended use of this equipment.
Prior to Installing Iridium Pilot Land Station, read and understand this Installation Guide and
the User Manual, including the safety warnings and information. Failure to do so could result
in serious injury or death.
If you do not have the Iridium Pilot Land Station User Manual, it can be found at www.iridium.com, or call

Shock Hazard
The Indoor Unit (IDU) contains low voltage that may cause serious injury if opened. Do not,
under any conditions, open or dismantle the IDU. Failure to follow these instructions could
result in serious injury or death.
Radiation Hazard
The Federal Communications Commission has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to
RF (Radio Frequency) energy, which is below the OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Act) limits.
The Outdoor Unit (ODU) transmits radio frequency energy (RF) that may cause thermal injuries
including tissue damage from increased heating and body temperature.
When the system power is ON keep all personnel a minimum of 1.0 m (3.3 ft.) from the
antenna (see Radiation Hazard). Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.
