Specic Absorption Rate Data
This 9575A 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
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.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) concluded in May,
2011 that that there is limited evidence to suggest a possible link between
RF signals and two specic types of cancer. The IARC’s conclusion is based
on its review of existing studies and information.
The FCC and FDA, however, indicated that there is not sucient scientic
evidence to support a link between wireless device use and cancer and
that use of wireless phones according to current regulations is safe.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
Your 9575A is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON,
it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. Your 9575A 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.

(ICNIRP)
• Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker (VDE)
• United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Radio

WARNING
Use of non-Iridium batteries or chargers could result in
serious injury or death caused by re, explosion, leakage,
or other hazard.
Important: Use only Iridium 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 40°C (104°F) when charging.
• New batteries are not fully charged and may take more time to charge.
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.
WARNING
Do not dispose of your battery in a re, because this may
cause an explosion resulting in serious injury or death.
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
If you wish to reduce your exposure to RF energy, you can limit the
amount of time you use the phone and increase the distance between
the phone/antenna and your body when you use it. For example, you may
use the phone’s speakerphone feature or use with a wired earpiece and
microphone to increase distance when you use the phone.
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
Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in serious
injury or death caused by fire, 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.
• 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.
• Contact your service provider or Iridium if your phone
or battery has been damaged from dropping or high
temperatures.

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.
WARNING
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. Failure to do so could result in serious
injury or death.
access numbers such as 999, are not able to be made on the Iridium system.
