and Switch On #

• Connect the charger to a power source and the micro USB connector to the port at the base of the phone #

Step Three
Connect to the Satellite #

• 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 #

• Before you make a call, your phone needs a GPS fix so it can be located by the satellite – this happens automatically, but if a new GPS fix is needed the red icon above will be displayed – place the phone in the open with a clear view of the sky until the icon disappears #

Make a Call #

Answer a Call #

• When your phone rings, press the Green Key #

• Remember, to receive a call, you must be connected to the satellite with the phone antenna pointing upwards #

Listen to Voicemail #

Incoming Call Alerts #

• The handset has the capability to alert you to incoming calls and text messages when the antenna is stowed or the satellite signal reception is limited #

• Whenever you switch the handset on and deploy the antenna, the handset attempts to register to the network (see “Connect to the Satellite” above) #

• 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 #
