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 Wi-Fi
Hotspot should seek the advice of their cardiologist.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,
immediately power off the Thuraya SatBridge!
If you are a pacemaker user, we recommend these guidelines:
• Maintain a distance of at least 20 cm (a little less than 8 inches)
between Thuraya SatBridge and your pacemaker.
• Maintain a distance of one meter away from the front of
Thuraya SatBridge antenna.
• Refer to your pacemaker product literature for information.
Hearing aids
Most current hearing aid models are immune to radio frequency
interference from satellite Wi-Fi hotspots that are more than 2 meters
(about 6.5 feet) away. Many types of older hearing aids may be
susceptible to interference, making it very difficult to use them near a
satellite modem. If you experience interference, increase the distance
between you and the Thuraya SatBridge.
