Legal Information and Warnings
Important Health and Safety Precautions
When using this product, the safety precautions below must be taken to avoid possible legal liabilities and
damages. Retain and follow all product safety and operating instructions. Observe all warnings in the operating
instructions included with the device.
DANGER Only use antennas, transceivers and chargers approved by TerreStar. The use of any non-approved
antenna, transceiver and charger may be dangerous.
DANGER Allow only authorized personnel to service the car kit. Unauthorized service can invalidate the warranty.
CAUTION Any modification of this product, including opening the unit, is prohibited and will void your
warranty. Any use of the product or its components for purposes not expressly authorized by this document,
including any use in an airplane or any other aviation application, is prohibited and will void your warranty.
NOTE When using your device for prolonged periods of time, the device may become warm. In most cases, this
condition is normal and therefore should not be interpreted as a problem with the device.
Driving
Check state laws and regulations on the use of mobile phones in the area where you drive. If you are going to use
your phone while driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving.
• Laws in many locations require vehicle handsfree solutions – this car kit qualifies as a vehicle handsfree solution.
• Before using the suction cup mount on your windshield, check the state and local laws and ordinances where
you drive. Some state laws prohibit drivers from using suction mounts on their windshields while operating
motor vehicles. Other state laws allow the suction mount to be located only in specific locations on the
windshield. Many other states have enacted restrictions against placing “non-transparent material” on the
windshield or placing objects on the windshield in locations that obstruct the driver’s vision.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call.
• RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor vehicles such as car stereo, safety equipment etc.
In addition, some state or local governments do not allow use of mobile phones in vehicles, unless the
installation is supported by a handsfree kit with an external antenna. Check with your vehicle manufacturer’s
representative to be sure that your car kit will not affect the electronic systems in your vehicle.

Legal Information and Warnings
Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. Do not place objects, including either installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly
installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
Blasting Areas
Turn off your car kit and GENUS device when in a blasting area or in areas where “turn off two-way radio” is posted
to avoid interfering with blasting operations. Construction crews often use remote control RF devices to set off
explosives.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your car kit and GENUS device when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but
your car kit could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury
or even death. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked.
They include fueling areas, such as gas stations, below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities,
and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Do not transport or
store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle which contains your car kit.
Posted Facilities
Turn your car kit and GENUS OFF in any facility where posted notices so require. Turn off your devices whenever
directed by warning signs or instructions.
