Do not dispose in trash.
Do not dispose of your battery in a fire.
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.
• 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 39.
This product is compliant with Industry Canada RSS-102 for RF Exposure.
Refer to “Specific Absorption Rate Data” on page 5.
9575A User Manual
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 scientific organizations through periodic
and thorough evaluation of scientific 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 Specific 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 certified
power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined
at the highest certified 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 confirm 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.
2: Safety
2: Safety
Harmful noise.
This 9575A meets international standards for exposure to radio waves.
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 differences 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 specific 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 sufficient scientific
evidence to support a link between wireless device use and cancer and
that use of wireless phones according to current regulations is safe.

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
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.

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 Efficient Operation
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
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 affects 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 finished 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.
Notice: Keep all covers fully and securely installed (SOS button cover,
headset cover, and bottom accessory connector cover) when not in use.
Failure to do so could result in dust and/or moisture being introduced to
the unit which could in turn cause failure of the unit.
