Step Two
Charge the Battery
and Switch On #

• Connect the charger to a power source and the micro USB connector to the port at the base of the phone
• Hold down the red key until the screen lights up
• The first time you use your phone, use the navigation keys to select your language and set the time zone
• To switch off, hold down the red key until the screen shuts down

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 #

• Enter the full international number by pressing +, country code, area code (without the leading zero), telephone number, and then press the Green Key – Example (+44 1621 123456)
• To end the call press the Red Key

---

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 #

• Hold down the “1” key (pictured above) and you will automatically be connected to your voicemail
• Alternatively, call +870 772 001 899 and press the Green Key

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
