The AT1621-20 has an integrated power amplifier (for transmitting signals to the satellite) and low noise amplifier (for receiving signals from the satellite) 2 Important Safety Information Regarding Exposure to RF Signals WARNING WARNING MICROWAVE RADIATION MINIMUM SAFE DISTANCE 0.55 METRES To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices, the minimum safety distance is 55 cm (21.7 inches). This separation distance should be maintained between antenna and people during operation of the antenna. 3 Cable Length Requirements To meet Iridium performance requirements and comply with FCC regulations, care must be taken to use the appropriate total RF cable length. Your antenna distributor should provide the appropriate cable. Total Cable Loss Requirement Reference Cable Set 13.3 dB total for two cables 5 ft (1.5 m) RG58LL 1.1 dB loss @1621 MHz 115 ft (35 m) LMR240 12.2 dB loss @ 1621 MHz © 2012 AeroAntenna Technology, Inc.
