Safety Information Important: Read this information before using your wireless mobile phone. Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals Your wireless mobile telephone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. International agencies have set standards and recommendations for the protection of public exposure to RF electromagnetic energy.
Phone Operation Normal Operation: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone. Rotate the antenna to either the left or right detent, and make sure the antenna is fully extended. The antenna should be vertical to the ground and have a clear unobstructed view of the sky. Tips on Efficient Operation: For your phone to operate most efficiently: • Rotate and extend your antenna fully. • Make sure the antenna has a clear unobstructed view of the sky.
Electronic Devices Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone. Pacemakers The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six inches (6") be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
Posted Facilities Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require. Aircraft Airline regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Check and comply with the policy of your airline regarding the use of your phone while the aircraft is on the ground. Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft. Blasting Areas To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.

Getting Started Getting started with your new satellite phone is easy. Just insert your phone’s SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card and charge the battery. This chapter shows you how.
Attaching the Satellite Antenna Attach the Antenna 1. Attach the antenna in the down position. 2. Press and hold the lock release button at the top of the phone. 3 2 3. Push the antenna until it clicks into place and release the lock release button. Remove the Antenna You may want to remove the satellite antenna to attach an auxiliary antenna. 1. Place the antenna in the down position. 2. Press and hold the lock release button at the top of the phone. 3. Remove the antenna by pulling straight out.
What Is a SIM Card? Your SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card is a small smart card that contains your phone number, service details, and memory for storing Phone Book entries and messages. Note: Your phone has limited functionality without the SIM card. SIM Card Protection You may want to keep your SIM card in your wallet or purse when you are not using your satellite phone. This helps keep your personal information secure and gives you access to your service even if your phone is not available.
Installing/Removing the SIM Card The SIM card is stored in a recess in the battery compartment. It is normally covered by the battery when you use your phone. Caution: Make sure your phone is powered off before inserting or removing the SIM card. If you don’t, you may damage the memory on your SIM card. 1. Turn your phone off by pressing and holding the S key. 2. Remove the battery cover and battery. (See “Removing the Battery” on page 31.) 3.
4. Insert the SIM card into the tray with the notch up and the gold plate facing out. or Remove the SIM card from the tray. 4 5. Push down the SIM card tray and slide the tray to the right to lock it in place. 5 6. Replace the battery and battery cover. (See “Insert the Battery” on page 29.
Removing the Battery Cover Your new batteries are shipped uncharged and fitted with protective covers. Save the covers for storing and carrying unused batteries. The covers prevent metal objects from contacting both battery terminals, which can reduce the risk of injury, or damage from a battery short circuit. Remove the Battery Safety Cover 1. Press in the release latch. 2. Continue pushing in and upwards until the battery slips free from its cover. Attach the Battery Safety Cover 1.
Organizing Your Phone Book Each name and phone number in your Phone Book is stored in a numbered memory location. The satellite phone has two types of memory—phone memory and SIM card memory. Phone Memory SIM Card Memory1 Personal Numbers 100 entries 155 entries Fixed Dial Numbers No entries 40 entries Phone Number Digits 32 20 Name Characters 16 16 1-100 101-255 Location Numbers 1 SIM card capacity varies depending upon the card issued by your service provider.
When do I use these numbers? Group the numbers on the list according to when you use them. Most people call a different set of numbers during the day than they do in the evening and on weekends. You can switch one-touch dialing to your phone’s memory (locations 1–9), your SIM card’s memory (locations 101–109), or to your fixed dial list (locations 1–9). Store your evening and weekend numbers on one type of memory and your daytime numbers on another.

Using Pauses in Numbers When you call automated systems, a recorded message prompts you for numbers such as PIN numbers and account numbers. You can store these numbers in the same memory location as the automated system’s access number. Separate the numbers with “pauses”—special characters that tell your phone to wait a few seconds before sending additional numbers—and store the string in the same way you would other numbers. Enter Pauses in Numbers 1.
Dial Numbers With Pauses To dial a number with pauses: 1. Recall the entry. (See “Locating Entries” on page 70.)

When the automated system answers, your phone waits a few seconds and then automatically sends the next set of numbers, then the next, until all numbers are sent.
Using Phone Number Prefixes You can save time when you dial by storing the prefixes that you often use. This is sometimes called “postscripting.” Your satellite phone allows you to change or add to Phone Book entries without overwriting them. Store a prefix in your Phone Book just as you would any other number. See “Storing Names and Numbers” on page 63. Use a Stored Prefix To use a stored prefix: 1.

Note: You can still place and answer calls while using the internal charger. If you wish to place or answer a call: Press S to exit charge-only mode and return to normal operation. Remember that talking on the phone uses power, so charging takes more time.
Checking Battery Charge Level Low Battery Warning When the battery level is low and only a few minutes of talk-time remains, your phone signals you in two ways: • Low Battery appears on the display • A warning tone (two double beeps) sounds Note: To help maintain the best battery and phone performance, recharge your battery as soon as possible after you receive the low battery warning. View Battery Meter The q (battery charge) indicator appears continuously in the upper right corner of the display.
Battery Information Maximizing Battery Life Caution: To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal objects to contact or short circuit the battery terminals. Caution: At extreme temperatures (eg., -10°C) battery life capacity is significantly reduced. To ensure maximum battery life and use your battery to its fullest capacity, observe the following guidelines.
