WARNINGS FOR SATELLITE TERMINAL
DO NOT STAND IN FRONT OF THE ANTENNA
This device emits radio frequency energy when in the
transmit mode. To avoid injury, do not place head or other
body parts in front of the satellite antenna when system is
operational. Maintain a distance of two meters away from
the front of the Satellite Terminal antenna.
ii BGAN Terminal User's Guide
PROPERLY GROUND THE ANTENNA
Failure to properly ground the optional external antenna
may result in severe personal injury or death. Do not
attempt to ground the optional external antenna unless
you have the skills to do so in accordance with local
electrical codes.
DO NOT OPERATE DURING ELECTRICAL STORMS
Operation of the Satellite Terminal during electrical storms
may result in severe personal injury or death. Disconnect
the Terminal from the computer and store the unit indoors
if lightning is anticipated in the area of operation.
GENERAL
Handle your Satellite Terminal with care. The enclosure is
weather resistant per IEC 60529 IP55; however, do not
submerge the unit or expose it to severe rain storms. Avoid
exposing your Satellite Terminal to extreme hot or cold
Terminal is -25ºC to +60ºC.
Avoid placing the Terminal close to cigarettes, open
flames or any source of heat.
Changes or modifications to the Terminal not expressly
approved by Hughes Network Systems could void your
authority to operate this equipment.
Only use a soft damp cloth to clean the Terminal.
To avoid impaired Terminal performance, please ensure
the unit’s antenna is not damaged or covered with foreign
material like paint or labeling.
When inserting the USIM/SIM, do not bend the it or
damage the contacts in any way. When connecting the
interface cables, do not use excessive force.
IN THE VICINITY OF BLASTING WORK AND IN EXPLOSIVE
ENVIRONMENTS
Never use the Satellite Terminal where blasting work is in
BGAN Terminal User's Guide iii
progress. Observe all restrictions and follow any regulations
or rules. Areas with a potentially explosive environment are
often, but not always, clearly marked. Do not use the
Terminal while at a petrol filling station. Do not use near
fuel or chemicals.
QUALIFIED SERVICE
Do not attempt to disassemble your Satellite Terminal. The
unit does not contain consumer-serviceable components.
Only qualified service personnel may install or repair
equipment.
BATTERIES AND ACCESSORIES
Use approved batteries (HNS P/N 3003702-0001) and
accessories only. Use of non-approved accessories may
result in loss of performance, damage to the Satellite
Terminal, fire, electric shock or injury.
AC Mains power adapter (HNS P/N 3003727-0001) is for
indoor use only. It has an indoor operating temperature
range of 0ºC to +40ºC and provides an output voltage of
20 VDC.
The storage capability of the battery decreases when
operated.
Battery charging should only be attempted when the
temperature is within the range of 0 to 45 degrees C.
CONNECTING DEVICES
Never connect incompatible products. When connecting
the Satellite Terminal to any other device, read the
device’s User Manual for detailed safety instructions.
iv BGAN Terminal User's Guide
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 30 cm between the Terminal
and your pacemaker;
Maintain a distance of two meters from the front of
the unit’s antenna;
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!
BGAN Terminal User's Guide v
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 unit.
