RADIO FREQUENCY RADIATION
HAZARD - KEEP CLEAR
1 METRE MINIMUM
RADIATION WARNING
High levels of radio frequency radiation are consid-
ered health hazardous. Although no single value of
“safe radiation level” has been agreed upon by all
countries, the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI/LEEE C95.1-1992) recommends that people
should not be exposed to radiation stronger than
1 milliwatt per square centimetre at the frequencies
used in the SIMRAD MS50 terminal. Accordingly, the
operator of the terminal should ensure that the area
extending 1 metre from the front of the antenna be
kept clear of personnel when the terminal is transmit-
ting.
OBTAINING LICENSING FOR INMARSAT TERMINALS
Under rights given under ITU Radio Regulations, local telecommunications
administrations establish and enforce national rules and regulations governing
types of emissions, power levels, and other parameters that effect the purity of
signal, which may be radiated in the various frequency bands of the radio spec-
trum.
To legally operate an Inmarsat terminal, it is necessary to obtain permission from
the local telecommunications regulatory authorities of the country you are operat-
ing within. Using your terminal in any country without permission causes you to
run the risk of confiscation of the terminal or legal action from local authorities.
Normal practice for taking telecommunications into another country is to apply for
a license before travel. If a license has not been obtained before travel, the
equipment may be put into storage by local authorities until such time as a li-
cense is obtained.
All specifications are subject to change without notice.

SIM card
The SIM card (Subscriber Identity Module) carries subscription informa-
tion from your Inmarsat Service Provider (ISP) or Net service provider on
an integrated circuit. The Simrad MS50 used with the SIM card assumes
the identity of the SIM card.
The SIM card has its own set of numbers on which the user can be
contacted irrespective of the Simrad MS50 used. All outgoing calls will be
billed to the owner of the SIM card.
The SIM card is protected by means of a lock code. When buying a
SIM card you will receive a Personal Identification Number (PIN) that
will contain up to 8 digits. Contact your dealer if you do not have your
PIN code.
If the PIN code entered does not match the PIN code on the SIM
card, operation with that particular SIM card will lock-up after three
failed attempts.
You must then use the SIM un-block code (PUK code) provided by
your ISP to un-lock the card. Contact your dealer if you do not have
the PUK code.
Note! When using the PUK, the SIM PIN is set to 1 2 3 4.
For procedures on how to change or disable the PIN code, see
"User access" in chapter 4. Data service.
