June 26, 2015
Read this safety information before
removing the radio
CAUTION
Make sure the modem is completely disconnected (as instructed in panel 3) before
attempting to disconnect the radio assembly from the satellite antenna. Failure to do
so could result in exposure to RF radiation, which could cause injury to the eyes or
other injury.
To remove the radio, you must go to the roof or other satellite antenna location.
Working on a roof may involve potential safety hazards, as explained below.
DANGER
Hughes recommends you contact a professional installer to disconnect and uninstall
the equipment, especially if the antenna is on a roof or other high structure or
requires a ladder to access. Consider safety and possible damage to the equipment.
• Removing the radio may involve potential hazards involving electricity, radio
frequency (RF) radiation, and—depending on the antenna location—may involve
working on a roof or other high structure.
If you work on a roof, tower, or other high structure, or use a ladder or scaffold to
access the work site, follow these precautions to prevent personal injury or death:
• Do not try to remove the radio (this includes all steps in panel 5) while you are on a
ladder or scaffold.
• Walk only on sound roof structures.
• Use safety equipment (for example, a lifeline) appropriate for the work location.
• Follow the manufacturer’s safety precautions for all safety equipment used.
•
To avoid electric shock, stay at least 20 ft from power lines.
• If any part of the antenna or antenna mount comes in contact with a power line, call
your local power company to remove it.
Do not try to remove it yourself.
• Do not work in high wind or rain or if a storm, lightning, or other adverse weather
conditions are present or approaching.
Disconnect the modem
CAUTION
You must completely disconnect the modem before attempting to disconnect the radio
from the satellite antenna. Failure to do so could result in exposure to RF radiation,
which could cause injury to the eyes or other injury.
Unplug the AC power cord from the power outlet or surge protector
first
, as shown in
Figure 2
to avoid static electricity discharge that could shock you and/or damage the
modem.

you may cause to the equipment during removal.
Why did I get a return kit from Hughes?
