  • Stand outside in a place where there are no obstacles between you and the sky
  • Fully deploy the handset antenna and point it upwards
  • To register to the Inmarsat network, your handset must acquire a GPS fix and simultaneously find the Inmarsat network – this happens automatically
  • When the handset is registered to the network, the name Inmarsat is displayed beside the signal strength indicator
  • To send and receive calls, at least two indicator bars must be filled – if the signal strength is too low, on-screen instructions will help you to improve it

Note
GPS Fix

  • If successful, the screen displays “Ready for Service” and the two status LEDs change to green
  • After successful registration, you can stow the antenna
  • The status LEDs will change to amber to show that the handset is monitoring the network for incoming call alerts
