Iridium Pilot - Antenna Mounting and Substitution Safety

4 Iridium Pilot User Manual
1: INTRODUCTION
1.5.3 Antenna mounting and substitution
The antenna supplied by the manufacturer or radio dealer must not be mounted at a location such that during
radio transmission, any person or persons can come closer than the indicated minimum safe distance to the
antenna: 1.0 m (3.3ft).
To comply with current FCC RF Exposure limits, the antenna must be installed at or exceeding the minimum
safe distance shown above, and in accordance with the requirements of the antenna manufacturer or supplier.
Base Station Installation: The antenna should be mounted on an outdoor permanent structure. RF Exposure
compliance must be addressed at the time of installation.
You may contact your radio dealer or the manufacturer for further instructions. You, as the qualied end-
user of this radio device, must control the exposure conditions of bystanders to ensure the minimum
separation distance (above) is maintained between the antenna and nearby persons for satisfying RF Exposure
compliance. The operation of this transmitter must satisfy the requirements of Occupational/Controlled
Exposure Environment, for work-related use. Transmit only when person(s) are at least the minimum distance
from the properly installed, externally mounted antenna.
If you have any concerns about the adequacy of the mounting or support for the Iridium Pilot device, seek
advice from a structural engineer or other qualied individual.
WARNING
Exposure to radio frequency energy (RF) from the antenna may cause thermal injuries
including tissue damage from increased heating and body temperature. Keep everyone at a safe
distance from the antenna when the system power is ON. Personnel must maintain a minimum
separation distance of 1.0 m the from unit and installers must place ADE transmitter in a manner
to maintain minimum spacing requirement. Failure to do so could result in exposure to radio
frequency energy (RF) transmitted from the ADE that could result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
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.
