Harmful noise.
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.
• 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 pages 3-4.
2: Safety
Iridium Extreme® User Manual 3
Specific Absorption Rate Data
This Iridium Extreme® 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 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.
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
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.

WARNING
Use of non-Iridium batteries or chargers could result in
serious injury or death caused by fire, 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 45°C (113°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 benefits 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 fire, because this may
cause an explosion resulting in serious injury or death.

Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, 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 first responsibility.
• Use hands-free phone operation, if available.
• Pull off 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 off two-way radio.”
Obey all signs and instructions. Failure to do so could result in serious
injury or death.

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 off
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 fire resulting
in serious injury or 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 off your
phone in any location where posted notices instruct you to do so.

phone. The receiver in this phone is subject to the condition that radio
emissions from it not cause harmful interference.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in
a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Implantable Medical Devices
If you have an implantable medical device such as a pacemaker or defibrillator,
the Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separation of six inches (6”) be maintained between a handheld wireless
phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
WARNING
Persons with pacemakers:
• should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their
pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.

Battery Charging
Batteries may be charged and discharged many times, but eventually
they wear out. It is recommended that the battery is fully charged and
periodically charged and tested if stored for extended periods of time. If
the battery has been fully depleted and not used for an extended period
of time, it may require two charging cycles including removal/installation
of the battery to recover a fully depleted battery.
Important: Follow these guidelines when charging your battery:
• Keep your battery near 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.
Battery Disposal
Proper battery disposal is not only important for safety but
also benefits 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.

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.

Predictive text is implemented on the Iridium Extreme® and affects the
following areas:
• Creating an SMS/Email
• Adding Notes to an existing Phonebook entry
• Entering the Name field for a Phonebook entry (LetterWise only)
Predictive text is not set on a new phone by default, it must be enabled. To
do so, start at the main screen and:
1. Press the Menu softkey
2. Select “Setup” (6 clicks down)
3. In the Setup menu, select “Language” (4 clicks down)
4. In the Language menu, select “Text entry”
In the Text entry menu, Multi-tap is the default selection. Multi-tap has no
language sensitivity, other than the fact that it provides standard Western
characters. To choose predictive text, select one of:
• English
• Français
• Español
Once you have made this change, all SMS entry and entry of contacts
incorporate Predictive Text capabilities specific to the selected language.
Once selected, select the “Back” option twice, then scroll up to “Messages”
to use Predictive Text entry for messaging. To change back to “Multi-Tap” in
the future, you need to adjust this setting.
Predictive text entry has the following modes:
• WordWise (Ww) which provides word prediction for users who like
dictionary-based methods
• LetterWise (Lw) for letter-by-letter prediction for situations where word-
based prediction doesn’t afford the flexibility that may be required in
some situations.
Special character entry has the following modes:
• Punctuation (#?@) for entry of punctuation and special symbols
• Digit (123) for entry of numbers
68 Iridium Extreme® User Manual
7: Predictive Text Entry

modes of text entry during message creation:

• Digit (123) - number entry (non-predictive)
• Multi-tap (abc) traditional text entry (non-predictive)
The appropriate text entry mode can be selected by pressing the
Convenience key on the side of the Iridium Extreme®. The active text entry
mode will be displayed on the screen as indicated in the illustrations on
the following page.
