Understanding safety alert messages
Safety alert messages call attention to potential safety hazards and tell you how
to avoid them. These messages are identified by the signal words DANGER,
WARNING, CAUTION, or NOTICE, as illustrated below. To avoid possible
property damage, personal injury, or in some cases possible death, read and
comply with all safety alert messages.
Messages concerning personal injury
The signal words DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION indicate hazards that could
result in personal injury or in some cases death, as explained below. Each of
these signal words indicates the severity of the potential hazard.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in minor or moderate injury.
Messages concerning property damage
A NOTICE concerns property damage only.
NOTICE is used for advisory messages concerning possible property damage,
product damage or malfunction, data loss, or other unwanted results—but
not personal injury.
Safety symbols
The generic safety alert symbol
calls attention to a potential personal injury hazard. It appears next to the
DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION signal words as part of the signal word label.
Other symbols may appear next to DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION to indicate
a specific type of hazard (for example, fire or electric shock). If other hazard
symbols are used in this document, they are identified in this section.
Additional symbols
This document uses the following hazard symbols:
Warning: Potential Radio Frequency (RF) hazard. Where you
see this alert symbol and WARNING heading, strictly follow
the warning instructions to avoid injury to eyes or other
personal injury.

Warning: Where you see this alert symbol and WARNING
heading, strictly follow the warning instructions to avoid
personal injury.
Danger: Electric shock hazard: Where you see this alert
symbol and DANGER heading, strictly follow the warning
instructions to avoid electric shock injury or death.
Warnings for satellite terminal
Do Not Stand near by the Antenna: This device emits radio
frequency energy. To avoid injury, do not place head or other
body parts in front of the satellite antenna when system is
operational. Maintain one meter distance or more from the
terminal while active is the warning.
General: Handle your Satellite Terminal with care. The unit is
weather resistant per IEC 60529 IP67; however, do not submerge
the unit. Avoid exposing your Satellite Terminal to extreme hot or
cold temperatures outside the range -25° C to +65° C.
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 SIM, do not bend 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
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.
Accessories: Use Hughes approved accessories only. Use of
non-approved accessories may result in loss of performance,
damage to the Satellite Terminal, fire, electric shock or injury.
Connecting Devices: Never connect incompatible devices to the
Satellite Terminal. When connecting the Satellite Terminal to any
other device, read the device’s User Manual for detailed safety
instructions.
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.
