Safety – Iridium Transceiver Extreme
Your Extreme handset is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When
it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. (NOTE:
Refer to Iridium Extreme Phone Manual for additional Information)
• The Iridium Extreme handset has a transceiver which is designed to
be used with an external antenna. This antenna transmits RF energy.
The Iridium antenna (tted via an extension coaxial cable to the
cradle) must be located more than > 0.3 meters (1 foot) from human
body (person) when in operation.
• International agencies have set standards and recommendations for
the protection of public exposure to RF electromagnetic energy.
