Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modications, or attachments could damage the phone and
may violate government regulations. When using remote mount antenna,
mount antenna at least 20 cm away from the user. Also when using a
remote mount antenna in order to reduce potential radio interference to
other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen such that
the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that
permitted for successful communication.
Driving and Operation of Other Motor Vehicles
The use of any wireless device, including a satellite telephone, may cause
distraction. Discontinue a call if you cannot concentrate on driving. Check

use of mobile telephones while driving. Observe the following guidelines
when using your phone while driving:
• Give full attention to driving—driving safely is your rst responsibility.
• Use hands-free phone operation, if available.
• Pull o the road and park safely before making or answering a call.
