Safety Summary

For the sake of safety and protection, please read the user guide before you attempt to use
the SAFARITM Transceiver. In particular, read this safety section carefully. Keep this safety
information where you can refer to it if necessary.

The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation,
service and repair of this equipment. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific
warnings elsewhere in this user guide violates safety standards of design, manufacture and
intended use of the equipment.

Addvalue Communications Pte Ltd assumes no liability for the customer's failure to comply
with these requirements.

Hazard Symbols

Avoid touching those areas of the Transceiver during operation that are being marked with
this symbol otherwise it may result in injury.

“HOT”

Antenna Radiation Warning

During transmission the antenna in the system radiates high power levels of radio frequency.
This radiation is considered health hazardous to any personnel that come close to the
antenna.

It is important to maintain a separation distance from the transmitting antenna to any
personnel of at least 1-meter.

SAFARITM System User Guide

Distance to Other Radiation Equipment

The antenna shall not be installed near any VSAT or radar at the minimum distance and
position specified in the later chapter of the user guide. It may cause damage or interference
to the antenna.

Service

User access to the interior of the transceiver is not allowed. Only a qualified personnel
authorized by its manufacturer may perform service. Failure to comply with this rule will result
in the warranty void.

Grounding and Antenna Cables

The transceiver has provided its mechanical stud, which is intended for the grounding wire to
be connected to the hull of ship.

The antenna cable between the transceiver and antenna can be extended with specified

distance as long as it can meet any type of antenna’s characteristic data, which does not

exceed its required attenuation.
The antenna cable is shielded and it should not be affected by any magnetic field. It is

recommended to avoid the cable being installed in parallel with any AC wiring as it may
possibly cause malfunction of the equipment.

Power Supply

The input DC voltage for SAFARITM Transceiver is +12V DC, 8A or 24V DC, 4A.
In case of unavailability DC power line provided, an external AC/DC power supply of

115/230V AC with its output of +24V DC can be used. Please note that the requirements of
the AC/DC power supply should take care of high surge current of 25A at 24V DC for

1ms.

Equipment Ventilation

To ensure adequate cooling of the transceiver, 5-centimeter of unobstructed space must be
maintained around all sides of the unit except the bottom side. The ambient temperature range of

the transceiver is: -25°C to +55°C.
The equipment shall not be operated in the presence of flammable gases or fumes as well as

any explosive atmosphere. Operation of any electrical equipment in such an environment
constitutes a definite safety hazard.

Keep Away from Live Circuits

Operating personnel shall not remove equipment covers. Component replacement and
internal adjustment has to he handled by qualified maintenance personnel. Do not attempt to
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.

SAFARITM System User Guide

Obtaining Licensing For Inmarsat Transceivers

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.

Powering Up the Primary Handset

The Primary Handset is automatically powered up once it is connected to the dedicated
HANDSET port. Depending on the conditions of the UE, the Primary Handset may start in
the following modes:

Full functioning mode

Primary Handset starts in this mode once it has successfully connected to the UE and there
is no PIN authentication required. All UE settings including contacts, messages and call logs
are loaded into local memory of the Primary Handset once the UE is configured. You will be
able to access all the menus and making voice or data calls once the Primary Handset is
ready.

PIN mode

Primary Handset starts in this mode once it has successfully connected to the UE and PIN
authentication is required. Depending on the enabled PIN, you are required to enter the
correct PIN/password before proceeding to Full functioning mode. Refer to Security

settings menu for more information on the types of security PIN in the UE.
To enter the PIN:

1. Key in the PIN of the security key using the alpha-numeric keypad.

2. Press key to confirm.

To cancel PIN entering:

1. Press the Right selection key

2. Confirm to start in Emergency only mode by pressing the key.

Emergency only mode

Primary Handset starts in this mode once it has successfully connected to the UE and PIN
entering is bypassed (i.e. when you have forgotten the required PIN). You can only make
emergency calls or access local Phone manager menu in this mode.
