Safety Summary - Iridium Pilot Installation Manual

2. Safety Summary

The ADE and the BDE should be installed by a qualified professional technician trained in the installation of
marine 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, 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 User Manual, it can be found at www.iridium.com, or call 1-866-947-4348
and request that a User Manual be sent to you.
Follow all safety precautions carefully. Improper installation may result in injury or inability of the equipment to
function properly. Only a qualified professional technician trained in the installation of marine electronics and
antennas should remove the installation cover on the BDE.
Iridium Satellite LLC disclaims all liability for failure to comply with these requirements and
improper installation.
Shock Hazard
The Below Decks Equipment (BDE) contains low voltage that may cause serious injury if opened
or not grounded. Ensure the unit is properly grounded before operation and do not, under any
conditions, open or dismantle the BDE. 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 Above Decks Equipment (ADE) 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.
