BETA – IsatDock Overview Beam Communications STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL 1. Overview There are four main variants of the IsatDOCK docking stations: 1. IsatDock LITE The IsatDock LITE docking station provides a high quality mechanism for docking the Inmarst IsatPhone Pro handset. The dock is targeted for an in-vehicle application that connects to an external vehicle-mount antenna The IsatDock LITE allows the option of using an optional privacy mode handset mounted alongside the unit. 2.

The dock will swing out and the handset can be removed. 3.2. PRO/MARINE Privacy Handset The Privacy Handset resides to the left of the IsatPhone Pro when not it use. During a call the privacy handset can be hung on the top of the mounting cup when the docking station is mounted on the wall.
BETA – IsatDock Overview Beam Communications STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL For the PRO/MARINE IsatDocks, the external cable interfaces are at the rear of the docking station. The cover panel creates the IP rating for the electrical interface and retains the cables in their respective channels. The cover panel is fixed in place by 7 screws. The four screws around connector bay sealing gasket are located in threaded brass inserts in the plastic housing.

Beam Communications STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL Adjusting LED Brightness Pressing the UP and DOWN buttons together will put the docking station into LED brightness adjustment mode. Once in this mode the LED’s will flash. Press UP or DOWN to increase or decrease the LED brightness to a comfortable level, depending on your environment. This mode will automatically timeout after 5 seconds of button inactivity. 3.7. Keylock A barrel type lock is situated in the top of the dock.
BETA – IsatDock Overview 3.8. Beam Communications STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL MARINE - Cover The MARINE docking station achieves an IP54 rating over the handset by the use of a hinged cover. Bonded into the inside edge of Marine cover, is a silicon gasket. When fully closed, this creates a waterproof seal on the lower half of the dock. \ The cover is released by the latch at the base of the cover.

PRO/MARINE – Cable routing The IsatDock provides three different cable routing options when installing the docking station. Cables may exit via path ‘A’ that travels around to the top of the dock allowing for the interface cables to be run with the external antenna connections. Path ‘B’ directs cables out the base of the dock while path ‘C’ results in cables exiting to the side.
BETA – IsatDock Overview 4.3. Beam Communications STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL PRO/MARINE – Privacy Handset There are two options for the privacy handset mounting cup depending upon the type of docking station and the mounting orientation of the docking station. One mounting cup has a sprung upper section while the second is a single molded piece with a reversible retention clip. The three options are shown below in Figure 13. Option A shows a horizontal desk mounted situation.

BETA – IsatDock Overview Beam Communications STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL The Privacy Handset connects to the docking station via a RJ9 connector. For the PRO / MARINE versions, the privacy handset is connected beneath the rear panel. Once connected, the cable is run back through the foam and placed in the ‘S’ channel through the base of the phone. LITE / DRIVE PRO / MARINE Figure 17 – Privacy Handset connection point 4.4.
BETA – IsatDock Overview Beam Communications STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL There are four keyhole shaped slots in the mounting bracket that mate with feet on the rear of the plastics. To attach the bracket, the larger end of the keyhole will pass over the feet (see ‘B’ below). The bracket is then slid up to lock the feet into the narrow section of the keyhole.

Wait for the docking station to synchronize with the IsatPhone. If the IsatPhone Pro was inserted in the OFF state it can take approximately 1minute for the handset to turn ON and synchronize with the docking station. 3. Check that the status LED is solid green 4.
BETA – IsatDock Overview Beam Communications STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL NOTE: The IsatPhone Pro handset has its own volume controls for both incoming call ringing and in-call audio levels. It is recommended that you set the IsatPhone Pro to maximum volume and use the docking station to reduce the volume if required. You can raise and lower the volume of the docking station by pressing the UP/DOWN arrows.
