Blasting Areas and Potential Explosive Atmospheres
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, leave 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 injury or death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly marked.
They include, but are not limited to: fueling areas such as gasoline stations; below decks
on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas where fuel odors are
present (for example, if a gas/propane leak occurs in an automobile or home); areas
where air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any
other area where you normally would be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Turn your device OFF, do not plug or unplug any connection into any ports of the unit
when you are in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Obey all signs and
instructions. Sparks from your battery in such areas could cause an explosion or fire
resulting in serious injury or death.
Ingress Protection
The Iridium GO! exec has ingress protection to rating IP65 when all the port covers are fully
closed. This means the device is protected from dust ingress and protected against low pressure
jets of water from all directions. When the ports are closed, the Iridium GO! exec can be used
outside in wet or dusty weather conditions.
Make sure all port covers are fully closed. The Ingress Protection is only maintained if all
the port covers are fully closed so they are flush to the housing. Failure to fully close the
ports could lead to water or contaminant infiltration that could prevent the Iridium
GO! exec from functioning.
Electronic devices
Most electronic equipment is subject to interference from RF energy from external sources if
inadequately shielded. In some circumstances your mobile device may cause interference with
other devices. Turn OFF your device in any location where posted notices instruct you to do so.
For optimal performance and to be sure that exposure to RF energy does not exceed guidelines
set forth in the relevant standards discussed in the above section “Maximum Permissible Exposure
Calculations”, always follow the instructions and precautions.
Implantable medical devices
Persons with Pacemakers:
• Should ALWAYS keep Iridium GO! exec, any external antenna and any mobile
phone more than eight (8) inches (20 centimeters) from their pacemaker at all times
when the device or phone is turned ON.
• Should turn Iridium GO! exec OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.
• Failure to heed this warning could result in serious injury or death.
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
