Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
Your Iridium Extreme™ is a low power radio transmitter and receiver.
When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
Your Iridium Extreme™ 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.

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 Extreme™ meets international standards for exposure to radio
waves.
2: Safety
Iridium Extreme™ User Manual 5
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
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 1.27 W/Kg 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.
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.

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.

Iridium Extreme™ 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 Iridium
Extreme™, 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.
EMERGENCY CALLS WITH MAINLAND AUSTRALIA: Power on the Iridium
Extreme™, extend the antenna towards the open sky, conrm proper
registration & signal strength on display, dial Triple Zero (000) or 112
depending upon your service provider’s instructions, 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 emergency
calling service which automatically identies the caller location.
EMERGENCY CALLS IN ALL OTHER LOCATIONS: You will need to obtain
and dial the full international access code, country code, and phone
number for the local re, police, or ambulance depending upon the nature
of the emergency. Power on the Iridium Extreme™, extend the antenna
toward the open sky, conrm proper registration & signal strength on
the display, dial the local emergency number obtained from your service
provider or local advisor 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 emergency calling 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.

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.

Phone Operation
Normal Operation
Hold the phone as you would any other telephone. Fully extend the
antenna then rotate the antenna to either the left or right detent. The
antenna should be vertical to the ground and have a clear unobstructed
view of the sky.
Tips on Ecient Operation
For your phone to operate most eciently:
1. Keep your phone battery charged to ensure that the phone is ready for
use when needed.
2. Fully extend your antenna and rotate top portion of antenna as needed
to 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 the phone is in use.
5. Contact with the antenna aects call quality and may cause the phone
to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed.
6. Do not wear the phone on your body while making calls with the
headset accessory. Wearing the phone on the body can interfere
with proper phone operation, since the antenna requires a clear
unobstructed view of the sky to access the Iridium® satellite network.
7. Once you complete your call and are nished with the phone, return the
antenna to the center upright position and gently retract the antenna
before carrying or storing the phone between uses.
8. For backup, keep a written record of all important information stored on
your phone.
