Important Safety Notice
The SDT-5000 satellite radio emits radio frequency (RF) energy when transmitting. Operators
should maintain a safe distance from radio when transmitting. The safe distance of 20 cm is
measured from the center of the antenna beam with respect to the ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992
standard. The SDT-5000 uses a directional antenna. In the case of this antenna, the 20 cm
distance should be maintained under the following conditions:
 The antenna is powered on and transmitting. The SDT-5000 transmits only when the
remote terminal unit (RTU) sends messages to the host computer. These transmission
periods are typically less than 10 seconds. Otherwise, the SDT-5000 remains in receive
mode or sleep mode and does not emit RF energy.
 A person is blocking line-of-sight to the satellite during transmission. The satellite is 101°
longitudes and the antenna will point in that direction at all times while in operation.
 A person must be exposed to transmissions, as described above, for a continuous period of
at least thirty minutes to exceed recommended exposure limits set by the Federal
Communications Commission.
The SDT-5000 must be mounted a minimum distance of 20 cm away from all persons and must
not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna.
