Hughes 9350 BGAN Terminal User Guide iii
P ACEMAKERS
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 20cm from the Wi-Fi antenna and your
pacemaker:
• Maintain a distance of one 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.
H EARING A IDS
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.

Operation of the Satellite Terminal during electrical storms may result in severe
personal injury or death. Ensure the Below Deck Equipment is properly
grounded to the vehicle chassis.
