Safety considerations

Safety alerts

Product warning label

This safety alert label is affixed to the antenna radome:

Step A: Unpacking the installation kit

Unpack the Hughes 9250 Kit (3500129-0010) and make sure you have the three sub kits and the following 
parts:

Parts included in the Tracking Antenna Kit (3500128-0001)
– BGAN Land Mobile Tracking Antenna 
– Auxiliary Control Unit (ACU) 
– Four-foot RF cable for the connection between terminal and ACU (RG223 with SMA connectors) 
– Eighteen-foot RF cable for the connection between ACU and antenna (RG223 with TNC 

connectors) 

– Three magnetic feet with washers and nuts 

CAUTION

The cables supplied with the antenna kit are made to 
specific lengths. Do not cut cables to a shorter length or 
add length to the cable run. 

Use only the supplied cables, not third-party cables. Use of 
third party cables will invalidate the warranty of the antenna 
and may cause system malfunctions.

CAUTION

If the magnetic mounts do not make full contact with the 
vehicle's roof, the antenna may break loose.

CAUTION

This device emits radio frequency energy when in transmit 
mode. To avoid injury, keep at least 2 meters away from the 
antenna when the system is operational.
