SafetyInformation
IMPORTANT!
Please read the following information carefully before installing and
using the Beam PotsDOCK 9555. Failing to follow instructions may
compromise the safety of the product and may result in personal
injury and/or equipment damage. Please consult your supplier if you
have any further questions.
The PotsDOCK 9555 is a low power docking station for the 9555
handset. When ON, it will charge the 9555 handset whilst docked in
the PotsDOCK 9555.
Refer to the appropriate section of this PotsDOCK 9555 Installation &
User Manual for additional safety information.
◊ Store the system in a cool and dry area.
◊ Do not submerge the system in water.
◊ Do not place foreign metal objects or debris in the system. If debris
enters into the system, please return to factory 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 except the RJ11 line socket must only be connected
to equipment ports which comply with the Safety Extra Low Voltage
(SELV) requirements of IEC60950.
WARNING:
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
• Turn your phone OFF and DO NOT remove your battery or
remove the 9555 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 off your vehicle engine.

Safety – Iridium Transceiver 9555
Your 9555 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 Iridium 9555 Phone Manual for additional Information)
◊ The Iridium 9555 handset has an in-built Iridium transceiver which
is designed to be used with an external antenna. This antenna
transmits RF energy. The Iridium antenna (tted via an extension
coaxial cable to the cradle) must be located more than > 0.3
meters (1 foot) from human body (person) when in operation.
◊ International agencies have set standards and recommendations
for the protection of public exposure to RF electromagnetic energy.
♦ International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP) 1996
♦ Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker (VDE) DIN-0848
♦ United States Federal Commission, Radio Frequency
Exposure Guidelines (1996)
♦ National Radiological Protection Board of the United
Kingdom, GS 11, 1988
♦American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.
1-1992
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.
◊ Do not operate your satellite telephone when a person is within
1 foot (30 centimeters) of the antenna. A person or object within
1 foot (30 centimeters) of the 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.
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 speaker phone 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.
10
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
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.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or
its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the
manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Performance of electronically controlled brake and/or guidance systems
can, under certain unique conditions, be subject to interference by mobile
radio operation. Although the transceiver exceeds all requirements
regarding RF emissions, you should mount the transceiver as far as
possible from the guidance system and/or braking modulator box
(usually located in the trunk) to minimize any interference.
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices require such
as hospitals and on-board aircraft.
Aircraft
Airline regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Consult
the local Aviation Authority for guidelines on use of the equipment on
board an aircraft.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inates with great force.
Do NOT place objects, including both installed and portable wireless
equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area.
If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag
inates, serious injury could result.
