ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT
This User Guide was designed to be easy to read and follow. It is organized based on the steps
needed to set up and use the PTT Bagdock with a 9575 Iridium phone.
SAFETY INFORMATION
Precautions
Please read and understand this User Guide before installing your docking station. Careless or
incorrect installation can degrade performance, damage new and existing equipment, and incur
unexpected network airtime charges.
1. FAA Regulations
Blue Sky Network products are not FAA-approved and are not intended for aircraft use.
2. Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
Your Iridium-designed satellite unit is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is
ON, it receives and 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
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) Report 86
• Department of Health and Welfare Canada, Safety Code 6
These standards are based on extensive scientific review. 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. Your phone’s design
complies with these standards when used as described under “Unit Operation.”
3. Antenna Care
Use only the antenna supplied by your service provider or an approved replacement
antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could degrade performance
or damage the phone and may violate local agency regulations.

4. Unit Operation
Do not operate the unit when a person or object is within 4 in. (10 cm) of the antenna, as it
may result in impaired call quality and cause the unit to operate at a higher power level than
necessary. It may also expose that person to excessive RF energy levels established by the
FCC RF Exposure Guidelines.
5. Driving
Obey all laws and regulations on cellphone use in the areas where you drive. Observe the
following guidelines when using your phone while driving:
•Use hands-free phone operation, if available.
•Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.
•Give full attention to driving; driving safely is your first responsibility.
6. Electronic Devices
Certain modern electronic equipment may not be shielded against RF signals from your
Iridium-designed satellite unit.
7. Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of
6 in. 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 Iridium-designed satellite unit more than 6 in. from their
pacemaker when the unit is turned ON.
• Should turn the unit OFF immediately if you suspect that interference is taking place.
8. Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the device’s manufacturer to
determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to
assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your unit OFF in healthcare facilities when any posted regulations instruct you to do so,
as these areas may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
9. Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor
vehicles. Check with your vehicle’s manufacturer or representative. You should also consult the
manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
10. Posted Facilities
Turn your unit OFF in any facilities where posted notices so require.

11. Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your unit OFF when in a “blasting area” or
in areas posted “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
12. Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your unit OFF and disconnect the power supply in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Obey all signs and instructions.
These areas are not always clearly marked and include:
•Fuel or chemical transfer and storage facilities and fueling areas (e.g., gas stations)
•Below deck on boats
•Areas where fuel odors are present (e.g., a gas/propane leak in a car or home), the air
contains chemicals or particles (e.g., grain, dust, or metal powders), or any other area
you may normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Sparks from your battery or power source in such areas could cause an explosion or fire,
resulting in bodily injury or death.
13. For Vehicles Equipped with Airbags
DO NOT place objects, including installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over
the airbag or where it could be deployed. Serious injury could occur if in-vehicle wireless
equipment is improperly installed, and the airbag inflates.
14. Important Notes for PABX System Users
If using the docking station with a PABX system, the following precautions must be followed
to prevent damage to your unit.
The docking station emulates a standard landline wall jack and generates the required
operating and ringing voltages. Connect to a PABX as either a central office (CO) or trunk
line. Never connect the docking station to a PABX as an extension to avoid potential damage.

EQUIPMENT DEPLOYMENT
Step 1 –Install 9575 Dock in Bag
Step 2 –Deploy Antenna
Attach the magnetic mount antenna to a metal ground plane (e.g., vehicle
or corrugated roofing) for best results. For best reception, ensure the
antenna is unblocked by surrounding structures and has a 360⁰clear view
of the sky/horizon and Iridium satellite constellation.
The antenna cable is 10’ (3m).
The dock is easily installed into the bag via a ‘hook and loop’
attachment. Ensure that the antenna attachments are secure.
Antenna cables route through the bag internally to storage in the
bottom of the bag.
With the phone docked, and all equipment charged, press the
Power button on top of the 9575 phone to power up both the
