Iridium Communications Inc. Distribution of Guide Restricted
Proprietary & Confidential Information 9 to Product Developers Only
1.3 Software Revision
Product Developers should read this document in conjunction with the “Software Release Notes” relevant
to the revision of the software that is loaded into their 9602/9602N SBD Transceiver.
Product Developers should take into account in their software design that it is possible that a transceiver
may have an earlier software release and may therefore have different capabilities to those listed in this
document. Product Developers are advised to ensure that production procedures for finished goods
confirm that the software used in the Product Developer application is designed for the Software Release
loaded in the 9602/9602N SBD Transceiver. This can be read out of the module using the AT command
interface. A software upgrade utility is provided with each SW release. The utility runs on a Windows
compatible OS and will automatically upgrade the modem with the latest version.
1.4 Unauthorised Changes
Iridium has not approved any changes or modifications to this device by the user. Any changes or
modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Iridium n’approuve aucune modification apportée à l’appareil par l’utilisateur, quelle qu’en soit la nature.
Tout changement ou modification peuvent annuler le droit d’utilisation de l’appareil par l’utilisateur.
1.5 Radio Interference
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS
standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type
and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. 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 necessary for successful communication.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts
de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire
de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le
brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec
une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada.
Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut
choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (PIRE) ne
dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.
