Accessories:
Use Hughes approved accessories only. Use of
non-approved accessories may result in loss of
performance, damage to the Satellite Terminal, fire, electric
shock or injury.
Connecting Devices:
Never connect incompatible devices to
the Satellite Terminal. When connecting the Satellite
Terminal to any other device, read the device’s User
Manual for detailed safety instructions.
Pacemakers:
The various brands and models of cardiac
pacemakers available exhibit a wide range of immunity
levels to radio signals. Therefore, people who wear a
cardiac pacemaker and who want to use a Satellite
Terminal should seek the advice of their cardiologist. If, as a
pacemaker user, you are still concerned about interaction
with the Satellite Terminal, we suggest you follow these
guidelines:
Maintain a distance of half meter from the main antenna
front and sides and your pacemaker
Refer to your pacemaker product literature for information
on your particular device
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place, turn off your Satellite Terminal immediately.
Hearing Aids: Most new models of hearing aids are
immune to radio frequency interference from Satellite
Terminals that are more than 2 meters away. Many types
of older hearing aids may be susceptible to interference,
making it very difficult to use them near a Terminal. Should
interference be experienced, maintain additional
separation between you and the Satellite Terminal.
Electrical Storms: Operation of the Satellite Terminal during
electrical storms may result in severe personal injury or
death.
Equipment users
