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.

Pointing mode display
An “extra long press” of more than five seconds of the power
button will cause a hardware enforced power down.
All buttons start or restart the backlight time period, even if they
have no function in the current context.
By default, at power up the LCD shows the pointing display. The
top line alternates between “Pointing” and the compass bearing
and elevation angle of the closest satellite. In the picture below,
the satellite bearing is South-Southeast (SSE) and the elevation
angle to the satellite is 46 degrees.
The lower line displays the received signal quality, both
graphically and as a number of dBs. In pointing mode typical
values are 47 to 52.
Audible pointing indicator
A buzzer provides an audible representation of the signal quality
during antenna pointing. When turned on, the indicator emits
pointing tones that increase in tempo and pitch as the signal
strength increases. If the satellite is not found, one tone is
followed by a pause. The indicator always defaults to off when
the unit powers on.
Use a long press of the Audio button to toggle the audio pointing
indicator on and off.

register with the network. During this operation it displays
“Registering” on the upper line of the LCD.
Once it registers and is ready for PDP contexts, it displays
“Ready” on the upper line.
Once it is ready for voice calls, it displays the globe icon (see
below).
If user equipment is connected (via Ethernet or Wireless LAN),
the lower line will display “ADDR:” plus the last octet of the IP
address of the currently selected user terminal. If multiple
devices are attached, you can select the others by pressing the
user button.
Connection mode display
The signal quality is shown as a number in the right corner of the
lower line; typical values in idle mode are 53 to 58.
When a PDP context is active, the type of connection is
displayed on the upper line: “Standard”, “Stream 32k”, etc.
The lower line displays the “ADDR:” information and the
current signal level as described above.
While in an active PDP context, typical signal level values are
66 to 71. However, if no data is sent or received for 90 seconds,
the unit will return to the regional beam and the signal quality
will drop to the idle mode range of 53 to 58.
