Safety Summary
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, service and repair
of this equipment. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings in this manual may
violate the safety standards of design, manufacture and intended use of the equipment. Cobham assumes
no liability for the customer's failure to comply with these requirements.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection may be impaired.
During transmission the AVIATOR UAV 200 SATCOM terminal can radiate microwave power in any direction
not screened by the aircraft fuselage. High levels of radio frequency radiation are considered harmful to
health. Although all countries have not agreed upon a single value, the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1999) recommends that according to General Public Requirements a person
should not be exposed to radiation stronger than 1 mW/cm
2
at the frequencies used in this terminal.
Accordingly, the operator of the system should ensure that no person should approach within 50 cm (1.6 ft)
of the terminal when it is transmitting.
Electrostatic Discharge Caution
The terminal contains items that are electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive. Use approved industry
precautions to keep the risk of damage to a minimum when you touch, remove or insert parts or assemblies.
Under extreme heat conditions or prolonged transmission periods, do not touch metal parts of the AVIATOR
UAV 200, as this may result in injury.
