Calcul de l’exposition maximale permise
L’appareil Iridium GO! répond aux normes internationales
d’exposition aux ondes radio. Votre appareil satellitaire est
conçu et fabriqué pour ne pas dépasser les limites d’exposition
à l’énergie radioélectrique (HF). Ces limites font partie des
lignes directrices et des limites autorisées pour l’énergie HF
pour le grand public. Les directives sont basées sur les normes
élaborées par des organismes scientifiques indépendants par
une évaluation approfondie et régulière d’études scientifiques.
Contrairement à un téléphone mobile, le téléphone Iridium GO!
doit être utilisé à une distance de 20 centimètres (7,8 pouces)
ou plus de toute autre personne. Le calcul du rayonnement
pour ce type d’appareil repose sur le calcul du degré auquel le
rayonnement de l’appareil ne dépasse pas la limite d’exposition
maximale permise (EMP) pour une utilisation par le grand
public dans un environnement non contrôlé. À une distance
de sécurité de 20 cm, le pourcentage le plus élevé d’EMP pour
l’appareil Iridium GO! est de 21,7 % lors d’une utilisation avec les
antennes intégrées. Avec une antenne externe, le pourcentage
le plus élevé d’EMP pour l’appareil Iridium GO! est de 27,1 % en
supposant un gain d’antenne maximal de 3,0 dB; les utilisateurs
devraient conserver une distance de sécurité de 20 cm autant
par rapport à l’appareil Iridium GO! qu’e par rapport à une
antenne externe. Par conséquent, l’appareil Iridium GO! respecte
les lignes directrices de la FCC quant à la limite du rayonnement
lorsqu’il est utilisé comme indiqué.
Le Centre International de Recherche sur le Cancer (CIRC) a
conclu en mai 2011 qu’il existe des preuves limitées de liens
2: Important Safety and
Regulatory Information
Important: Read this entire chapter, before using Iridium GO!
Maximum Permissible Exposure Calculations
Iridium GO! meets international standards for exposure to radio
waves. Your satellite device is designed and manufactured not to
exceed limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy. These
limits are part of guidelines and established permitted levels of
RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based
on standards that were developed by independent scientific
organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies.
Unlike a mobile phone, Iridium GO! is designed to be used 20
centimeters (7.8 inches) or more away from persons. The RF
exposure determination for this type of device is based on the
calculation of the extent to which RF radiation from the device
does not exceed the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) limit
for use by the general public in an uncontrolled environment.
At a separation distance of 20 cm, the highest percentage of the
MPE for Iridium GO! is 21.7% when using the built-in antennas.
If using an external antenna for Iridium transmitter, the highest
percentage of the MPE for the Iridium GO! is 27.1% assuming a
maximum antenna gain of 3.0 dBi; users should maintain a 20
cm separation from both Iridium GO! and an external antenna.
Accordingly, the Iridium GO! complies with the FCC’s guidelines
for limiting RF exposure when used as directed.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)
concluded in May 2011 that there is limited evidence to suggest
a possible link between RF signals and two specific types of
cancer. The IARC’s conclusion is based on its review of existing
studies and information.
possibles entre les signaux RF et deux types précis de cancers.
La conclusion du CIRC repose sur son examen des études et des
renseignements existants.
Le FCC et la FDA, organismes des États-Unis chargés de fixer les
limites d’exposition au rayonnement, indiquent toutefois qu’il
n’y a pas suffisamment de preuves scientifiques pour établir un
lien entre l’utilisation d’appareils mobiles et le cancer, et que
l’utilisation d’appareils mobiles tels que des téléphones mobiles
en respectant la réglementation en vigueur est sécuritaire.

Si vous souhaitez réduire votre exposition à l’énergie HF, vous
pouvez limiter votre temps d’utilisation de l’appareil Iridium
GO! et de votre téléphone mobile, et accroître la distance entre
l’appareil Iridium GO!, le téléphone mobile ou l’antenne et votre
corps pendant l’utilisation.

The United States agencies responsible for setting RF exposure
limits, the FCC and FDA, however, indicated that there is not
sufficient scientific evidence to support a link between wireless
device use and cancer and that use of wireless devices such as
mobile phones according to current regulations is safe.

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 station; below decks 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 air contains chemicals or particles,
such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any
other area where you normally would be advised
to turn off your vehicle engine.
Atmosphères potentiellement explosives
Les lieux à l’atmosphère potentiellement explosive sont
souvent clairement indiqués comme tels, mais pas toujours.
Il s’agit, sans que la liste soit exhaustive : des zones de
ravitaillement en carburant, de l’entrepont des bateaux, des
usines de transfert ou de stockage de produits chimiques,
des endroits où des effluves de carburant sont présents (par
exemple, en cas de fuite de gaz ou de propane dans une
voiture ou une maison), des endroits où l’air contient des
produits chimiques ou des particules, comme du grain, de la
poussière ou des poudres métalliques, et tout autre lieu où
il est normalement conseillé de couper le moteur de votre
véhicule.
Turn your device 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 fire
resulting in serious injury or death.
Mettez votre appareil hors tension et ne retirez pas, n’installez
pas ou ne chargez pas votre batterie lorsque vous vous
trouvez dans un lieu à l’atmosphère potentiellement explosive.
Conformez-vous à tous les panneaux et toutes les instructions.
Des étincelles provenant de votre batterie dans ce genre
d’endroit peuvent causer une explosion ou un incendie et
entraîner des blessures graves, voire la mort.

N’utilisez que l’antenne livrée avec l’appareil ou une antenne
de remplacement agréée. Les antennes non agréées, les
modifications ou les accessoires peuvent endommager le
téléphone et enfreindre la réglementation en vigueur. Lors
de l’utilisation d’une antenne montée à distance, monter
l’antenne à au moins 20 cm de l’utilisateur. De plus, si vous
utilisez une antenne auxiliaire portable, afin de réduire le
risque d’interférences radio avec les autres utilisateurs, le
type d’antenne et son gain devraient être choisis afin que la
puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (PIRE) ne soit pas plus
que celle autorisée pour permettre la communication.

Tips on Efficient Operation
For Iridium GO! to operate most efficiently:
1. Keep the battery charged to ensure that the device is ready for use when needed.
2. Ensure antenna is pointed directly up while in use.
3. Make sure the antenna has a clear unobstructed view of the sky.
4. Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when Iridium GO! device is in use, as contact with the
antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than
otherwise needed.
5. Iridium GO! is not designed to be worn on your body.
Using the External Antenna
When the external Antenna Adaptor cable is plugged in, ensure
the Swivel antenna remains raised. Lowering the swivel antenna
will end the Iridium transmission.
Placing a Call
The Iridium GO! device must be used outside, away from trees and
tall buildings.
1. Raise the swivel antenna.
2. Iridium GO! will display ‘Iridium’ when registered.
3. Connect your smartphone or tablet to Iridium GO! Wi-Fi.
4. Launch Iridium GO! application and press the Call icon.
Iridium GO! requires connection to the Iridium Satellite Network. The swivel antenna should be
vertical to the ground and have a clear unobstructed view of the sky. The antenna must be able to
see” the entire sky from approximately 8 degrees above the horizon. Nearby tall buildings or similar
structures, heavily leafed trees and mountains can all degrade performance as they block the signal
between the antenna and the satellites. Having a completely open view of the sky plays a very
important role in maximizing performance, as the Iridium satellites move across the sky from North
horizon to South horizon during a connected call.
