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.

The design of your phone complies with these standards when used as
described under “Phone Operation”on page 38.
This product is compliant with Industry Canada RSS-102 for RF Exposure.
Refer to“Specic Absorption Rate Data”on pages 4-5.
Specic Absorption Rate Data
This Iridium Extreme™ meets international standards for exposure to radio
waves.

2: Safety
Iridium Extreme™ User Manual 5
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 scientic organizations through periodic
and thorough evaluation of scientic 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 Specic 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 certied
power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined
at the highest certied 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 conrm 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 dierences 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 specic 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 sucient scientic
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

Batteries
All batteries may cause serious injury or property damage, particularly if
handled improperly or used after damage.

WARNING!
Use of non-Iridium batteries or chargers may present a risk
of re, explosion, leakage or other hazard.
Important
Use only Iridium original 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:

Battery Disposal
Proper battery disposal is not only important for safety but
also benets 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.
Do not dispose of your battery in a re.
Emergency Calling
CHECK WITH YOUR SERVICE PROVIDER FOR LOCAL EMERGENCY
NUMBERS (full international access code, country code, and phone
number) for all locations outside the United States and mainland Australia.
Iridium currently only supports in-country emergency call routing to 911
within the United States and to Triple Zero (000) or 112 within mainland
Australia. Outside of the United States and mainland Australia, calls to
emergency access numbers such as 999, are not able to be made on the

Iridium system. When placing a call to an emergency operator or local
public safety answering point, always verbally report your location to assist
rst responders with indentifying your location to provide assistance. Caller
location identication is not automatically transmitted on the Iridium
system.
Iridium does not guarantee network availability at all times due to
situations where the network is unavailable due to satellite availability,
terrain, weather, or other conditions that may prevent an emergency call

Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modications, 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.
