SAFETY INFORMATION
IMPORTANT! Please read the following information carefully before
installing and using your Beam RapidSAT Handsfree Phone. Failing
to follow instructions may compromise the safety of the product and
may result in personal injury and/or equipment damage. Please
consult your supplier if you have any further questions.
DC Fused
The RST625 case has a 2A M205 fuse for short circuit safety. Please replace
with 2A rated fuse if required.
Battery
The RapidSAT Portable system contains a Li-polymer battery unit with high energy
density. Do not disassemble, puncture, throw, drop, crush, bend, or modify this
battery unit. Do not charge the battery while on an airplane.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
Your satellite system is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON,
it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
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) 1996
•Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker (VDE) DIN-0848
•United States Federal Commission, Radio Frequency Exposure Guidelines (1996)
•National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom, GS 11, 1988
•American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95. 1-1992
These standards are based on extensive scientific review. For example, over 120
scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health
agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the
updated ANSI standard.
As a precaution, please maintain maximum body distance as possible from the
antenna during call transmission.
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may violate
local agency regulations. Please refer to your Service Provider for further
information.
Phone Operation
Do not operate your satellite telephone when a person is within 4 inches (10
centimeters) of the antenna. A person or object within 4 inches (10 centimeters) of
the antenna could impair call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a
higher power level than necessary and expose that person to RF energy in excess
of that established by the FCC RF Exposure Guidelines.

RST625 INSTALLATION & USER MANUAL REV 03

Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain
equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your satellite phone.
Please take all reasonable precautions to reduce possible interference.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separation of six inches (6") be maintained between a wireless phone’s antenna
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.
Persons with pacemakers:
•Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker
when phone is turned ON
•Should turn the phone OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect
interference is taking place
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your
device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Aircraft
Consult the local Aviation Authority for guidelines on use of the equipment on
board an aircraft.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly
marked. Possible sparks from the system plugs / sockets (when plugging in whilst
switch is on) in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury
or even death. 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 a car 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.
