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 the Thuraya Orion IP should seek the
advice of their cardiologist. If, as a pacemaker user, you are
still concerned about interaction with the Thuraya Orion IP, we
suggest you follow these guidelines:
 Maintain a distance of 20cm from the Wi-Fi antenna
and your pacemaker:
 Maintain a distance of one meter from the main ADU
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 Thuraya Orion IP 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
