■Secure the phone in your vehicle to prevent personal injury and
damage to the phone in the event of an accident.
When attaching or detaching the exterior antenna to the GIK
with the antenna cables, disconnect all power to the phone and
the GIK. Note that DC voltage is present in the central
conductor of the antenna cable (45-C6162-1). See Globalstar
Installation Kit standard components, page 10.
■Detach the phone from the GIK and disconnect the power
interface cable (45-C6184-1) to the GIK when jump starting the
vehicle or recharging the car battery. Jump starting may cause
the GIK fuse to open. Refer to the installation sh eet for further
information regarding interconnects.
Exposure to radio frequency signals
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is on, it receives and also sends
out radio frequency (RF) signals.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held
wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety
standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards
bodies:
■ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1999 Standard1
■NCRP Report 86 (1986)2
■ICNIRP (1998)3
