of design, manufacture and intended use of the equipment.
AddvalueCommunicationsPteLtdassumesnoliabilityforthecustomer’sfailuretocomplywiththeserequirements.
General
Handle your satellite terminal with care. The enclosure is weather resistant (IP65); however, do not submerge the
unit or expose it to severe rainstorms.
Avoid placing the satellite terminal close to cigarettes, open flames or any source of heat.
Changes or modifications to the satellite terminal not expressly approved by Addvalue Communications Pte Ltd
could void your authority to operate this equipment.
Only use a soft cloth moisten with water to clean the satellite terminal. Do not use any detergents or cleaning
agents on the satellite terminal.
To avoid impaired satellite terminal performance, please ensure the unit’s antenna is not damaged or covered with
foreign material like paint or labeling. When inserting the SIM card, do not bend it or damage the contacts in any
way. When connecting the interface cables, do not use excessive force.
WARNING
Please follow strictly the warning instructions listed below to avoid personal injury.
Use Approved Accessories Only
Use only the AC/DC power adapters and accessories provided with the satellite terminal. Use of non-approved
adapters and accessories may result in loss of performance, damage to the satellite terminal, fire, electric shock or
injury. The AC/DC power adapters are for indoor use only.
Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere and Hazardous Locations
Do not operate the equipment in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.
Operation of any electrical equipment in such an environment constitutes a definite safety hazard.
Keep Away from Live Circuits
Do not remove the terminal covers. Only qualified maintenance personnel are allowed to perform component
replacement and internal adjustment. Do not replace components with the power cable connected. Under certain
conditions, dangerous voltages may exist even with the power cable removed. To avoid injuries, always disconnect
power and discharge circuits before touching them.
Qualified Installation
The satellite terminal must be installed by a qualified personnel in accordance with applicable local and national
regulations (e.g. CEC, NEC, FCC, SCC, etc).

Lightning Protection During Installation
Ensurelightningprotectiondevicesare installed priortothe installation ofthesatelliteterminal.Donotdisconnect
and reconnect cables during a lightening storm.
Do Not Service Alone
Do not attempt internal service or adjustments unless another person, capable of rendering first aid resuscitation,
is present.
Connecting Devices
Never connect incompatible devices to the satellite terminal. When connecting the satellite terminal to any other
device, read the device’s User Manual for detailed safety instructions.
Connecting Phone Devices
This satellite terminal is not intended to be connected to any North American (U.S., Canada) TNV circuit or PSTN
(Public Switch Telephone Network).
Do Not Substitute Parts or Modify Equipment
Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not substitute parts or perform any unauthorized
modification to the satellite terminal.
Do Not Stand In Front Of The Antenna
This satellite terminal emits radio frequency energy. To avoid injury, do not place head or other body parts in front
of the satellite antenna when system is operational. Maintain a distance of one meter or more from the front of the
satellite terminal antenna.
FCC RF Hazard Warning
High levels of radio frequency radiation are considered health hazardous. Although no single value of
“safe radiation level” has been agreed upon by all countries, the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI/LEEE C 95.1-1992) recommends that people should not exposed to radiation stronger than 1
milliwatt per square centimeter at the frequencies used in the Addvalue’s Wideye SABRE™ Ranger
terminal. Accordingly, the operator of the terminal should ensure that the area extending 1 meter from
the Front of the antenna be kept clear of personnel when the terminal is transmitting.
The antenna is built-in within SABRE™ Ranger. You, as the qualified end-user of this radio device must
control the exposure conditions of bystanders to ensure the minimum separation distance (above)
is maintained between the antenna and nearby persons for satisfying RF Exposure compliance. The
operation of this transmitter must satisfy the requirements of Occupational/Controlled Exposure
Environment, for work-related use. Transmit only when person(s) are at least the minimum distance
from the front face of the antenna.
WARNING:
Maintain a separation distance from the antenna to a person(s) of at least 1 meter.

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 affect the
purity of signal, which may be radiated in the various frequency bands of the radio spectrum.
To legally operate Inmarsat equipment, it is necessary to obtain permission from the local telecommunications
regulatory authorities of the country you are operating from. Using your equipment in any country without
permission causes you to run the risk of confiscation of the equipment by the local authorities. The normal
procedure to bring such equipment 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 in to storage by local authorities until such time license is
obtained.
