elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of design, manufacture and intended use of the
equipment. Cobham SATCOM assumes no liability for the customer's failure to comply with these
requirements.
Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere
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
Operating personnel must not remove equipment covers. Component replacement and internal
adjustment must be made by qualified maintenance personnel. 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.
Do not service alone
Do not attempt internal service or adjustments unless another person, capable of rendering first aid
resuscitation, is present.
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 equipment.
Keep away from antenna front
This device emits radio frequency energy when switched on. To avoid
injury, keep a minimum safety distance of 60 cm from the antenna front
when the EXPLORER 510 is on.
Garder à l'écart de l'avant de l'antenne
Le présent appareil émet des radiofréquences lors de son utilisation. Afin
d'éviter tout risque pour la santé, une distance minimale de 60 cm est nécessaire entre l'utilisateur

Antenna safety instructions
2
Use only manufacturer supplied antennas.
Antenna minimum safe distance: 0.6 m
Antenna gain
Directional, with maximum gain of 11 dBi (with reference to isotropic).
The Federal Communications Commission has adopted a safety standard for human
exposure to RF (Radio Frequency) energy which is below the OSHA (Occupational Safety
and Health Act) limits.
Antenna mounting
The antenna supplied by the manufacturer must be located such that during radio
transmission, no person or persons can come closer than the above indicated minimum
safe distance to the front face of the antenna, i.e. 0.6 m.
L'antenne fournie par le fabricant doit être placée de telle sorte que, durant les
transmissions radio, personne ni aucun groupe de personnes ne puisse s'approcher à une
distance inférieur à la distance de sécurité minimal indiquée ci-dessus, c.-à-d., 0.6 m.
To comply with current FCC RF Exposure limits, the antenna must be installed at or
exceeding the minimum safe distance shown above, and in accordance with the
requirements of the antenna manufacturer or supplier.
Radiation warning
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 General Population/
Uncontrolled Environment. Only use the terminal when persons are at least the
minimum distance from the front face of the antenna.
WARNING! Maintain a separation distance of at least 0.6 m from the
front face of the antenna to a person.
