motorola defy Satellite Link

Getting Started

Your motorola defy satellite link allows you to send and receive messages over satellite using a compatible smartphone. You will need to download the Bullitt Satellite Messenger app from the Google Play store or Apple’s app store, and then connect this device to your phone via Bluetooth through the app.

The Bullitt Satellite Messenger app allows you to send and receive messages as well as use features such as tracking, SOS, and check-in on your motorola defy satellite link device over satellite. To do this you will need an active satellite subscription and have the satellite link connected to your phone via Bluetooth. It is recommended to test the app and to connect to a satellite before you head out on your trip.

You can also send and receive messages via a WiFi connection or cellular data using the Bullitt Satellite Messenger app at no additional cost. If sending messages via a cellular connection a small amount of your data plan will be consumed. If you do not have a subscription to a Bullitt Satellite Messenger plan, the app can still be used to communicate with other app users using a normal internet connection.

For your device to send and receive messages over the satellite network, it needs to have a clear view of the sky. Avoid tall buildings and dense tree cover. If the device cannot connect it will continue to attempt to send the messages until it can establish a connection with satellites.

CE SAR Compliance

This device meets the EU requirements (1999/519/EC) on the limitation of exposure of the general public to electromagnetic ﬁ elds by way of health protection.
The limits are part of extensive recommendations for the protection of the general public. These recommendations have been developed and checked by independent scientiﬁ c organizations through regular and thorough evaluations of scientiﬁ c studies. The unit of measurement for the European Council’s recommended limit for mobile devices is the “Speciﬁ c Absorption Rate” (SAR), and the

SAR limit is 2.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue. It meets the requirements of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).
For body worn operation, this device has been tested and meets the ICNIRP exposure guidelines and the European Standard EN 62209-2, for use with dedicated accessories. Use of other accessories which contain metals may not ensure compliance with ICNIRP exposure guidelines.

SAR is measured with the device at a separation of 5 mm to the body, while transmitting at the highest certiﬁ ed output power level in all of the device’s frequency bands.

The highest reported SAR values under the CE regulatory for the device are listed below:

Body SAR : 1.432 W/kg, Limbs SAR: 2.261 W/kg.

To reduce exposure to RF energy the device must be carried 5mm from the body to ensure exposure levels remain at or below the as-tested levels.
