Harmful noise.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
Your 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 6
The 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 Data
This 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: Safety
Iridium 9555 Satellite Phone User Manual 5
and 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.
Batteries
All 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: Safety
6 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. Excessive heat can
damage the phone or battery by causing it to swell, leak or malfunction.
Do not dry a wet or damp battery with an appliance or heat source,
such as a hair dryer or microwave oven. Do not leave your phone in an
automobile or other vehicle with high temperatures.
• Do not drop the battery or the phone because the impact can damage
them.
• Do not dispose of batteries in a re, because they may
explode.
• Contact your service provider or Iridium if your phone or battery has
been damaged from dropping or high temperatures.
WARNING!
Use of non-Iridium batteries or chargers may present a risk
of re, explosion, leakage or other hazard.
Important
Use only Iridium original products for safety and quality
assurance. Iridium’s warranty does not cover damage
caused by use of non-Iridium batteries.
Battery Charging
Batteries may be charged and discharged many times, but eventually they
wear out.
Important: Follow these guidelines when charging your battery:
• Keep the battery at room temperature. Never expose batteries to
temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 45°C (113°F) when charging.
• New batteries are not fully charged and may take more time to charge.
2: Safety
Iridium 9555 Satellite Phone User Manual 7
Battery Disposal
Proper battery disposal is not only important for safety but
also bene ts the environment. Consumers should recycle
used batteries and telephones in accordance with applicable
national, state or local laws and regulations.
Under EU requirements, all electrical and electronic products
must be taken to separate collection at the end of their working
life and must not be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste.
Do not dispose of your battery in a re.
Emergency Calling
CHECK WITH YOUR SERVICE PROVIDER FOR LOCAL EMERGENCY
NUMBERS (full international access code, country code, and phone
number) for all locations outside the United States and mainland Australia.
Iridium currently only supports in-country emergency call routing to 911
within the United States and to Triple Zero (000) or 112 within mainland
Australia. Outside of the United States and mainland Australia, calls to
emergency access numbers such as 999, are not able to be made on
the Iridium system. When placing a call to an emergency operator or
local public safety answering point, always verbally report your location
to assist rst responders with indentifying your location to provide
assistance. Caller location identi cation is not automatically transmitted
on the Iridium system.
Iridium does not guarantee network availability at all times due to
situations where the network is unavailable due to satellite availability,
terrain, weather, or other conditions that may prevent an emergency call
from being placed.
EMERGENCY CALLS WITHIN THE UNITED STATES: Power on the 9555
Satellite Phone, extend the antenna towards the open sky, con rm proper
registration & signal strength on the display, dial 911 and press the green
send key. Verbally report the situation and your location to the operator
for assistance. The Iridium service does not provide enhanced 911 service
which automatically identi es the caller location.

Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modi cations, or attachments could damage the phone and
may violate government regulations. When using remote mount antenna,
mount antenna at least 20 cm away from the user. Also when using a
remote mount antenna in order to reduce potential radio interference to
other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen such that
the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that
permitted for successful communication.
Driving and Operation of Other Motor Vehicles
The use of any wireless device, including a satellite telephone, may cause
distraction. Discontinue a call if you cannot concentrate on driving. Check
the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the areas
where you drive. Always obey them. Many local governments prohibit the
use of mobile telephones while driving. Observe the following guidelines
when using your phone while driving:
• Give full attention to driving—driving safely is your rst responsibility.
• Use hands-free phone operation, if available.
• Pull o the road and park safely before making or answering a call.
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.
2: Safety
Iridium 9555 Satellite Phone User Manual 9
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when
in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn o two-way radio.” Obey all
signs and instructions.
Potential Explosive Atmospheres
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 deck 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 the air contains chemicals
or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any
other area where you normally would be advised to turn o
your vehicle engine.
Turn your phone OFF and do not remove, install or charge your
battery 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 re resulting
in bodily injury or even death.
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 o your
phone 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
“Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals” on page 4 and “Speci c Absorption
Rate Data” on page 4), always follow the instructions and precautions.
Product Operation
If you wear the satellite phone on your body, always place it in an Iridium
leather case. Refer to www.iridium.com.
Using accessories not supplied by Iridium may cause your satellite phone
to exceed RF energy exposure guidelines.

No other licenses are granted by implication, estoppel or otherwise.
General Limitations. This is a license, not a transfer of title, to the

and Documentation contain trade secrets of Iridium or its suppliers or
licensors, including but not limited to the specific internal design and
structure of individual programs and associated interface information.
Except as otherwise expressly provided, you shall have no right, and you
specifically agree not to:
(i) transfer, assign or sublicense your license rights to any other person
or entity (other than in compliance with any Iridium relicensing/
transfer policy then in force), or use the Software on unauthorized

or secondhand Iridium equipment, and you acknowledge that any
attempted transfer, assignment, sublicense or use shall be void;
(ii) make error corrections to or otherwise modify or adapt the Software
or create derivative works based upon the Software, or permit third
parties to do the same;
(iii) reverse engineer or decompile, decrypt, disassemble or otherwise
reduce the Software to human-readable form, except to the extent
otherwise expressly permitted under applicable law notwithstanding
this restriction;
(iv) use or permit the Software to be on a service bureau or time sharing
basis or otherwise, without the express written authorization of
Iridium; or
(v) disclose, provide, or otherwise make available trade secrets contained
within the Software and Documentation in any form to any third party
without the prior written consent of Iridium. You shall implement
reasonable security measures to protect such trade secrets.
To the extent required by law, and at your written request, Iridium
shall provide you with the interface information needed to achieve
interoperability between the Software and another independently
created program, on payment of Iridium’s applicable fee, if any. You
shall observe strict obligations of confidentiality with respect to such
information and shall use such information in compliance with any
applicable terms and conditions upon which Iridium makes such
information available.
Software, Upgrades and Additional Copies. “Software” shall include
computer programs, including firmware, as provided to you by Iridium
or a Service Provider, and any upgrades, updates, bug fixes or modified
versions thereto (collectively, “Upgrades”) or backup copies of any of
the foregoing. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THE
AGREEMENT: (1) UNLESS AUTHORIZED BY IRIDIUM, YOU HAVE NO LICENSE
OR RIGHT TO MAKE OR USE ANY ADDITIONAL COPIES OR UPGRADES.
IRIDIUM MAY MAKE SOFTWARE AVAILABLE BASED ON ADDITIONAL
TERMS; (2) USE OF UPGRADES IS LIMITED TO IRIDIUM EQUIPMENT FOR
WHICH YOU ARE THE ORIGINAL END USER PURCHASER OR OTHERWISE
HOLD A VALID LICENSE TO USE THE SOFTWARE WHICH IS BEING
UPGRADED; AND (3) THE MAKING AND USE OF ADDITIONAL COPIES IS

and other proprietary notices on all copies, in any form, of the Software
in the same form and manner that such copyright and other proprietary
notices are included on the Software. Except as expressly authorized, you
Iridium 9555 Satellite Phone User Manual 179
17: Warranty, Service and Support
shall not make any copies or duplicates of any Software without the prior
written permission of Iridium.
Term and Termination. The license granted herein shall remain effective
until terminated. You may terminate the license at any time by destroying
all copies of Software and any Documentation. Your rights under the
license will terminate immediately without notice from Iridium if you fail
to comply with any provision of the license and Limited Warranty. Upon
termination, you shall destroy all copies of Software and Documentation
in your possession or control. All of your confidentiality obligations and
all limitations of liability and disclaimers and restrictions of warranty shall
survive termination.
Export, Re-Export, Transfer and Use Controls. The Software,
Documentation and technology or direct products thereof (hereafter
referred to as Software and Technology), supplied by Iridium are subject
to export controls under the laws and regulations of the United States
(U.S.). You shall comply with such laws and regulations governing export,
re-export, transfer and use of Iridium Software and Technology and will
obtain all required U.S. and local authorizations, permits, or licenses.
Iridium and you each agree to provide the other information, support
documents, and assistance as may reasonably be required by the other in
connection with securing authorizations or licenses.
U.S. Government End User Purchasers. The Software and
Documentation qualify as “commercial items,” as that term is defined
at Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”) (48 C.F.R.) 2.101, consisting of
“commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software
documentation” as such terms are used in FAR 12.212. Consistent with
FAR 12.212 and DoD FAR Supp. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4, and
notwithstanding any other FAR or other contractual clause to the contrary
in any agreement into which this Limited Warranty may be incorporated,
you may provide to Government end user or Government end user will
acquire, as applicable, the Software and Documentation with only those
rights set forth in this Limited Warranty. Use of either the Software or
Documentation or both constitutes agreement by the Government that
the Software and Documentation are “commercial computer software”
and “commercial computer software documentation,” and constitutes
acceptance of the rights and restrictions herein.
