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 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.
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. Ensure the Below
Deck Equipment is properly grounded to the
vehicle chassis.
