Overview Of Operation - Iridium Pilot Installation Manual

Exposure to radio frequency energy (RF) from the antenna may cause thermal injuries including
tissue damage from increased heating and body temperature. Do not substitute any antenna
for the one supplied or recommended by the manufacturer or radio dealer. Substitution of
antennas could cause exposure to excess radio frequency radiation which could result in serious
injury or death.
ADE must be properly mounted and secured to vessel. Failure to do so could result in
detachment of the unit, causing disruption in operation of the unit, or danger from
a falling unit, which could result in serious injury or death.
Damage to the paint coating may allow rust to the ADE which could result in
failure of the ADE. This in turn could cause disruption in operation of the Iridium Pilot device
or danger from a falling unit. Avoid damaging the paint coating. If damage occurs, re-apply
appropriate anti-corrosion paint. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your device OFF when in a
"blasting area" or in areas posted: "Turn off two-way radio. " Obey all signs and instructions.
Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.
