Introduction This manual contains instructions for the correct installation and subsequent use of the car kit especially developed for the Telit Globalstar/GSM, Sat 550 model telephone.
Safety information In your car Always check on the laws and regulations governing the use of cellular telephones in force in the country in which you are driving. Should you use the telephone while driving, the following should always be adhered to: t t t Always pay maximum attention to your driving. Only use your automobile kit where available. Do not stop your car in the emergency lanes on a motorway to make or receive calls, only stop the vehicle in parking areas provided.
Vehicles The use of cellular telephones inside vehicles may have a negative effect on their functioning, where these have not been correctly installed, and where RF signals emitted by the cellular phone have not been sufficiently shielded. Where there are warnings Always keep your telephone switched off wherever notices are posted expressly requesting this. Aircraft Standards set by aeronautical authorities forbid the use of telephones while an aircraft is flying.
Other warnings Keep the telephone out of reach of children. Only use original spares and accessories. The use of any other components shall cause the guarantee to lapse. Do not try to dismantle the telephone. It does not contain any parts that can be repaired by clients. Avoid the telephone coming into contact with liquids.

Cradle The cradle connects your Telit Sat 550 telephone to the car kit allowing you to use it with the micro telephone or in hands-free mode. When connected to the amplifier using a coaxial wire, the cradle amplifies the audio output, removes the echo, charges the Sat 550’s battery and keeps it charged, and connects the telephone to the vehicle IO devices. Amplifier The amplifier (ODU) connects the external Globalstar antenna to the car kit.
The micro telephone is fitted with a 3 m wire for connecting it to the cradle via the 2.5 mm mono jack. When installing, position the microphone not further than 40 cm from the driver and secure it in position using the twosided tape or the bracket provided, which is to be screwed to the vehicle using the two screws provided in the pack. Connecting wires for the vehicle IO devices The wires connecting to the vehicle IO devices are attached to the cradle by a 6-pin connector.
Indication of switching on By connecting the white wire to the vehicle‘s ignition you will avoid any possibility of the vehicle telephone running the vehicle‘s battery flat. In fact, the switching on indication will only allow the car kit to be switched on and off when the vehicle is switched on and off. Note: If you switch off the vehicle while a call is in progress, the call will not be interrupted. Globalstar wire The Globalstar wire is a 5 m long coaxial wire for connecting the amplifier to the cradle.
GSM external antenna (optional) An external antenna can be used to improve the telephone’s performance in GSM 900 MHz mode. This antenna must be connected via the TNC type connector, on the rear of the cradle, marked with a small black square. Data connector A serial RS232, 9–pin port is provided on the cradle. Laptop computers can be connected to this port for sending and receiving data and faxes. This type of connecting wire is not included in the car kit.
Installation Precautions t The car kit must only be installed by trained technicians using the technical assistance provided at authorised service centres (a list of these centres is included in the pack). Any installation or repair that is not done correctly may be dangerous and cause damage to the car kit and the Sat 500, and will cause the guarantee to lapse. t The car kit is designed for vehicles with a 12 V, negative earthed power supply. Any other power supply or polarity may damage the car kit.
Installation Example The installation of the car kit varies depending on the model of the vehicle. The diagram below shows a possible installation of the various components in the car kit.
Installing the car kit Installing the amplifier (ODU) t Install the metal bracket for the amplifier and the four spacers (provided in the pack), by fixing it to a metal panel using 4 screws (not supplied). Note: Before beginning to install the amplifier (for example in the boot), check that it will be possible to connect it to the cradle using the 5 m long Globalstar wire (provided in the pack) and the magnetic external antenna (using the 2 m long antenna wire).
t Connect the coaxial wire for the Globalstar magnetic external antenna to the red and black connectors on the amplifier. Metal lugs Globalstar external antenna connectors Red Bl ac k Globalstar wire connector Screw fixing to the bracket t t t t Insert the two metal lugs on the amplifier into the spaces provided on the bracket, then fix in place using the screw provided in the pack. Fix the Globalstar wire to connect the amplifier to the cradle, using the connector provided on the amplifier.
Installing the cradle Note: Position the cradle inside the vehicle so that it does not interfere with normal driving operations, is not exposed to streams of hot air coming from the vehicle’s heating system, and away from the airbag. Before installing the cradle bracket, check that it can be connected to the amplifier (using the 5 m long Globalstar wire), the microphone (using the 2.8 m long wire), the loudspeaker (using the 3 m wire), the micro telephone and the vehicle’s IO devices.
t Screw the vibration damping lugs (provided in the pack) onto the cradle bracket.
t t Connect the Globalstar cable to the TNC connector on the back of the cradle, marked by the round red label. Connect the GSM 900 MHz external antenna (not provided in the pack) to the TNC connector on the back of the cradle, marked by a square black label.
t Fix the cradle to the bracket using the washers and locknuts provided in the pack.

Installing the micro telephone Note: Install the micro telephone inside the vehicle near the cradle, being careful not to hamper normal driving operations and staying clear of airbag openings. t t Secure the micro telephone bracket on a flat surface inside the vehicle using two screws (not provided in the pack). Connect the micro telephone to the cradle using the (1.45 m wire) with the RJ45 connector.
Installing the microphone Install the microphone in the upper portion of the vehicle body using the relevant plastic bracket and two screws (provided in the pack), or on the sun visor using the double-sided adhesive tape. The microphone must face the driver’s mouth and not further than 40 cm from his mouth. Note: It is inadvisable to direct the stream of air from the air conditioner towards the microphone, or to pass the wire connecting the microphone to the cradle through an air conditioning duct.
Installing the speaker For best results, the speaker should be installed at least one metre from the microphone and not facing it. Remove (if the speaker is to be fixed) the speaker bracket by exercising gentle outward pressure on it. Secure the bracket on a flat surface inside the vehicle using two screws (not provided in the pack). The ideal position for the speaker is near the front passenger seat. Ensure that it does not interfere with the airbag opening. Fit the speaker to the bracket.
Connecting to vehicle IO devices t t t t Ensure that the vehicle is switched off and that the battery terminals have been removed before connecting the wires. Connect the red and then the white wire only after all the other wires have been connected. Ensure that the connections have been formed tightly. Ensure that the wires do not interfere with, and that they are not damaged by the movement of the seats, the pedals, or the handbrake.
Advice for wire routing t Where possible use existing ducts. t When choosing a route for wires, ensure that they do not hamper the movement of pedals, seats or the handbrake. t Position the wires so that they do not interfere with other electronic devices. t Be sure to cut the connecting wires for the vehicle’s IO devices to the required length. t Ensure that the connection between the amplifier and the cradle is inside the vehicle.
Using the car kit Placing the Sat 550 in the cradle and removing it To avoid damaging the Sat 550 telephone, before placing it in the cradle check that the yellow key at the top of the cradle is pressed and the Sat 550 is switched off. Insert the Sat 550 into the cradle from the top. Having pushed it down, push it inwards until a click is heard which means that it has been secured. The stop on the cradle will hook the base of the Sat 550 to prevent it coming loose accidentally.
Switching on the telephone and the car kit The telephone and the car kit switch on automatically when the vehicle‘s ignition is switched on (if the white wire has been connected). For information on operating the Sat 550, consult its instruction manual. If the Sat 550 is correctly placed in the cradle, the display will show the symbol H.
