• Do not place foreign metal objects or debris
in the system. If debris enters into the system,
please return to the manufacturer for service.
WARNING
DO NOT open equipment. There are no user-
serviceable parts inside.
If a DC power supply is to be used, its output must
comply with the Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV)
requirements of IEC60950.
All connectors must only be connected to equipment
ports which comply with the Safety Extra Low
Voltage (SELV) requirements of IEC60950.
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
• Turn your phone OFF and DO NOT remove
your battery or remove the IsatPhone 2
handset from the cradle when you are in any
area with a potentially explosive atmosphere.
• Obey all signs and instructions.
• Sparks from your battery in such areas could
cause an explosion or re resulting in bodily
injury or even death.
• Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere
are often but not always clearly marked.
They include, but are not limited to:
» fuelling areas such as gasoline stations
» below deck on boats;
» fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities;
» areas where fuel odors are present (for
example, if a gas/propane leak occurs in a
car or home);
» areas where the air contains chemicals
or particles, such as grain, dust, or
metal powders;
» any other area where you normally would
be advised to turn o your vehicle engine.

WARNING
ROAD SAFETY COMES FIRST!
Do not use a hand-held cellular terminal, satellite
phone or mobile when driving a vehicle, unless it
is securely mounted in a holder for speakerphone
operation. Before making a call with a handheld
terminal, satellite phone or mobile, park the vehicle
stationary. Please obey local road laws for hands-
free speakerphone operation. Speakerphones
(hands-free) must be installed by qualied
personnel. Faulty installation or operation can
constitute a safety hazard.
IMPORTANT
Cellular & Satellite terminals or mobiles operate using
radio signals and communication networks. Because
of this, the connection cannot be guaranteed at all
times or under all conditions. Therefore, you should
never rely solely upon any wireless device for essential
communications, for example emergency calls.

Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996

• Do not operate your satellite system when
a person is within 55cm of the external
antenna. A person or object within 55cm
of the external antenna could impair
call quality and may cause the phone
to operate at a higher power level than
necessary and expose that person to RF
energy in excess of that established by the
FCC RF Exposure Guidelines.
• As a precaution, please maintain the
maximum body distance possible from the
antenna during call transmission.
Safety Transceiver IsatPhone 2
Your handset is a low power radio transmitter
and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and
also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
(NOTE: Refer to Inmarsat IsatPhone 2 Manual
for additional Information)
• The Inmarsat IsatPhone 2 handset has an
in-built transceiver which is designed to be
used with an external antenna. This antenna
transmits RF energy. The BEAM antenna
(tted via an extension coaxial cable to the
cradle) must be located more than > 55cm
from the human body (person) when in
operation.
• International agencies have set standards
and recommendations for the protection
of public exposure to RF electromagnetic
energy. These standards are based on
extensive scientic review by scientists,
engineers, and physicians from universities,
government health agencies, and industry
groups They review the available body of
research to develop ANSI standard. These
ANSI standards are reviewed regularly for
research development.

IsatDock FCC Information
This equipment has been tested and found
to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
devices, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment o and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on
a circuit dierent from that to which the
receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.
This device has been designed to operate with
antennas ISD710 AT1595-82, ISD715/ISD720
AT1595-83 and having a maximum gain of 6dBi.
Antennas having a gain grater than 6dBi dB are
strictly prohibited for use with this device.
To reduce potential radio interference to other
users, the antenna type and its gain should
be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically
radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that
required for successful communication
WARNING
Changes or modications not expressly
approved by BEAM Communications could void
the product warranty.

Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device,
consult the manufacturer of your device 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 phone OFF in health care facilities
when any regulations posted in these areas
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care
facilities may be using equipment that could be
sensitive to external RF energy.
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where
posted notices require such as hospitals and
on-board aircraft.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded
from RF signals. However, certain equipment
may not be shielded against the RF signals from
your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association
recommends that a minimum separation of six
inches (6”) 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 phone more than
six inches from their pacemaker when
phone is turned ON.
• Should turn the phone OFF immediately if
you have any reason to suspect interference
is taking place.
