2: Safety4 Iridium 9555 Satellite Phone User ManualHarmful noise.Exposure to Radio Frequency SignalsYour Iridium 9555 Satellite Phone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. Your 9555 Satellite Phone is designed to comply with local regulatory requirements in your country concerning the exposure of human beings to RF frequency.International agencies have set standards and recommendations for the protection of public exposure to RF electromagnetic energy.• International Commission on Non- Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)• Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker (VDE)• United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Radio Frequency Exposure Guidelines• National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95. 1-1992• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP). Report 86• Department of Health and Welfare Canada. Safety Code 6The design of your phone complies with these standards when used as described under “Phone Operation” on page 31.This product is compliant with Industry Canada RSS-102 for RF Exposure.Refer to “Speci c Absorption Rate Data” on pages 4-5.Speci c Absorption Rate DataThis Iridium 9555 Satellite Phone meets international standards for exposure to radio waves.Your satellite phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and established permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scienti c organizations through periodic

2: SafetyIridium 9555 Satellite Phone User Manual 5and thorough evaluation of scienti c studies. The guidelines include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Speci c Absorption Rate, or SAR. Under the guidelines for this model, the SAR limit is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR were conducted in accordance with the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) and FCC testing procedures using standard operating positions with the phone transmitting at its highest certi ed power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certi ed power level, the actual SAR of the phone while operating can be below the maximum value. Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it is tested to con rm compliance with the guidelines. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) that conform to a uniform testing methodology determined by an expert standards body. The highest SAR level recorded from this product was 1.45 W/kg for a 1 g cube which was below the uncontrolled (i.e., general population) limit. While there may be di erences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the governmental requirements for safe exposure.PLEASE NOTE THAT MODIFICATIONS TO THIS PRODUCT MODEL COULD CAUSE DIFFERENCES IN THE SAR VALUE FOR LATER PRODUCTS; IN ALL CASES, PRODUCTS ARE DESIGNED TO BE WITHIN THE GUIDELINES.BatteriesAll batteries may cause serious injury or property damage, particularly if handled improperly or used after damage.Warning!Improper treatment or use of batteries may present a danger of  re, explosion, leakage, or other hazard.Make sure to follow all of the following safety guidelines:• Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, shred or otherwise attempt to change the form of the battery.• Do not let the phone or battery come in contact with water. Water can lead to corrosion of the phone’s circuits.

2: Safety6 Iridium 9555 Satellite Phone User Manual• Do not allow the battery to touch metal objects. Contact with metal objects can cause the battery to heat and possibly explode.• Do not place your battery near a heat source.
