AT1595-13/BT1595-13 Aviation Antenna System Rev 122 Sep 2015 1Introduction & Installation The AT1595-13/BT1595-13 antenna system is designed to provide Internet connectivity for General Aviation and Business Aviation markets. The antenna system requires professional installation. 2Safety Information Regarding Exposure to RF Signals WARNING To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobiletransmitting devices, the minimum safety distance is 1.072 m (3.517 ft). This separation distance should be maintained between antenna and people during operation of the antenna. During normal operation, the radiation of the antenna is directed up towards the sky and only a person on the roof of the aircraft will be exposed to appreciable amounts of radiation. 3Cable Length Requirements To meet Inmarsat performance requirements and comply with FCC regulations, care must be taken to use the appropriate total RF cable length. Your antenna distributor should provide the appropriate cables. Cable Loss requirementRef.

September 10 th , 2015 Attn: To whom it may concern Re: Tune Up Procedure The AT1595-13/BT1595-13 does not require any tune up procedure because the amplifier/antenna are tested by an automatic test station. As part of the test, the Maximum RF output power value is measured. In case the RF output power is higher then specified in the acceptance test procedure, the AT1595-13/BT1595-13 will not pass and will receive a fail status. The AT1595-13/BT1595-13 features Automatic Gain Control mechanism, which keeps its gain constant under all electrical and environmental conditions.

20732 Lassen Street, Chatsworth, CA 91311 Phone: (818) 993-3842 Fax: (818) 993-4525 RF Exposure Limits for AT1595-13 BT1595-13 Active Inmarsat Antenna Table of Contents 1 METHOD OF MEASUREMENTS.............................................................................................................................2 2 CALCULATION METHOD FOR RF SAFETY DISTANCE.................................................................................2 3 RF EVALUATION..........................................................................................................................................................2 The criteria used to evaluate the environmental impact of human exposure to radio frequency (RF) radiation is listed in FCC P.1.1310 & P.2.1091 1 METHOD OF MEASUREMENTS In order to demonstrate compliance with FCC P.2.1091, the following information is needed: ■Calculation that estimates the minimum separation distance (20 cm or more) between an antenna and persons required to satisfy power density limits for free space. ■Antenna installation and device operating instructions for installers (professional/unskilled users), and the parties responsible for ensuring compliance with the RF exposure requirement. ■Any caution statements and/or warning labels that are necessary in order to comply with the exposure limits. ■Any other RF exposure related issues that may affect compliance. 2 CALCULATION METHOD FOR RF SAFETY DISTANCE The power density, S, in units of mW/cm 2 is: S= P IN G 4πr 2 = EIRP 4πr 2 Where P IN is power input to the antenna in mW, G is the numeric (linear) gain of the antenna relative to isotropic radiator, EIRP is the equivalent isotropic radiated power, and r is the distance to center of radiation in cm. Therefore: r= √ EIRP 4πS 3 RF EVALUATION Antenna installation and device operating instructions shall be provided to installers to maintain and ensure compliance with RF exposure requirements. Caution statements and/or warning labels that are necessary in order to comply with the exposure limits will be indicated in the User's Manual and displayed on the device label. Using the maximum EIRP of 51.3 dBm and the power density of 1 mW/cm 2 for general population/uncontrolled exposure: page 2 of 3 r= √ 10 ( 51.6dBm 10 ) 4π mW cm 2 = √ 144,544mW 4π mW cm 2 =107.2cm The recommended minimum distance is 107.2 cm in free space. During normal operation, the radiation pattern is directed up towards the sky and only a person walking on the roof of the airplane would be exposed to appreciable levels of radiation. page 3 of 3
