Precautions
In order to avoid interference or any other kind of disturbances from other systems on board, there are a few
precautions to take note of:
Radars
According to any installation guide for radars it is of vital importance that any other units are kept outside the
radiation beam of the radar. Please consult fig. 3, showing what area to avoid:

Unobstructed view until
10° below the horizon
GPS
Tests have shown that only in case very old GPS equipment is used, a user may expect a minor influence on
the GPS originated from the Iridium equipment. This can be avoided by ensuring a distance of at least 1 m
between the two antennas.
