Safety Information IMPORTANT! Please read the following information carefully before installing and using the TR400/OC400. Failing to follow instructions may compromise the safety of the product and may result in personal injury and/or equipment damage. Please consult your supplier if you have any further questions. Refer to the appropriate section of this TR400/ OC400 Installation & User Manual for additional safety information. • • • 8 Store the system in a cool and dry area.
Safety - Transceiver Terra 400 and Oceana 400 The TR400/OC400 is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. • The TR400/OC400 has an in-built transceiver which is designed to be used with an external antenna. The antenna transmits RF energy. The antenna (fitted via an extension coaxial cable to the terminal) must be located more than > 55cm from the human body (person) when in operation.
Terra 400 and Oceana 400 FCC Information This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital devices, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Electronic Devices Other Medical Devices Posted Facilities Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone. If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.

Installation Guidelines This guide outlines the process for installing the TR400/OC400 Terminal. This kit must not be used with any other device. • Only trained personnel should install this communication equipment. • Ensure that the units are protected from dirt and moisture. • Select an area to mount components where there is no interference from other objects. • Ensure that each mounting surface is strong enough to support the component being mounted to prevent the component from loosening over time.
Installation Procedure Installing the TR400/OC400 Terminal The two external antenna connectors can be found in the cavity at the top of the TR400/ OC400 Terminal. There are two RF connections required, the Satellite TNC – Female Connector and GPS SMA-Female connector. 1. Refer to the antennas installation guide for antenna mounting and location requirements. 2. Connect the antenna cable labelled “GPS” to the antenna connector labelled “GPS” via the SMA connector 3.

Please install strain relief clamping for the antenna cables where required. Correct installation of the antenna system is a vital part of the TR400/OC400 terminal, to ensure reliable functionality, and drop-free calls.
2) SIM Installation If your Service Provider has not installed the SIM card for you, follow these steps to install. 1. 2. 3. The SIM connector is highlighted below. Slide the tray guide into the open position with your finger or thumb. Disconnect power from the terminal. Failure to turn OFF may result in corruption of your SIM card memory. Release the SIM cover by unclipping the latch with your finger or thumb. The SIM cover and latch is shown highlighted below. 5. 6. 4.
3) Wall Mounting Orientation There are two mounting points at the back of the terminal (as shown, shaded, in the below image). The distance (from centre to centre) between the mounting points is 10 cm. To mount the terminal vertically on a wall, sit the two included screws with 4mm remaining out of the wall. Adjust this depth till the terminal hangs securely on the screws.
4) Rear Connector Bay 5) Connect RJ11/POTS Interface Any standard analogue POTS telephone (POTS = Plain Old Telephone Service) is supported by the TR400/OC400 Terminal. The Terminal supplies power to the analogue phone as well as ring, dial and busy tones. The POTS telephone and the terminal can be separated by up to 600m of RJ11 cable. Mount the analogue phone if required, and plug the RJ11 cable into the TR400/OC400 RJ11 port. A. USB Data Port B. RJ11/POTS Port C.
6) USB Port Connection The TR400/OC400 terminal has a mini USB data port to enable upgrading of the firmware, advanced configuration, and data connection. DC Power Source Installation 1. 2. YELLOW RED BLACK 3. The DC power cable has three wires, RED, BLACK and YELLOW. The RED and BLACK wires are used for the power connection, The 7) Connecting Power to the Terminal The TR400/OC400 terminal can be powered from the supplied AC Plug pack, or connected to an external 10-32V DC power source.
8) Configuration Settings The TR400/OC400 terminal is ready for you to make voice calls as soon as it is registered. If you wish to customise the operation of your TR400/ OC400 the Falcon application is required. This first step is to install the BEAM USB driver. USB Driver Installation TR400/OC400 Terminal USB data port requires an interface driver to be installed on the user’s computer prior to undertaking data communication.
SIM PIN USE If your SIM Card requires activation, follow the instructions provided by your authorised Inmarsat Service Provider. Your SIM has a PIN which can be enabled to be entered each time the terminal is powered. If you require to use the PIN for extra security then follow these steps during power-up to enter the SIM PIN and allow the unit to register on the network: 1. Turn ON power to the TR400/OC400 terminal. The Signal LED will flash RED. 2.
Operation Terra 400 & Oceana 400 LED Status 1 Registration 1. 2. 3. Turn ON power to the terminal. The Signal LED will start flashing RED. Wait for the terminal to acquire GPS lock and register to the Inmarsat network. This may take up to 2 minutes.

Dial (using the full country codes) on the RJ11/POTS telephone keypad. 3. Once the call is connected, the POTS STATUS LED will flash to indicate a call is in progress. 4. Place the RJ11/POTS phone handset “ON HOOK” to terminate the call. Mobile Terminating 1. The RJ11/POTS phone will sound its ringer. 2.
Using voicemail You will be able to access voicemail messages if your service provider has enabled voicemail. Your Terminal automatically checks for voicemails shortly after it has been switched on and connected to the network. It will also send you voicemails that arrive while you are connected to the network. The Message LED will indicate (flashing green or yellow) if you have a new voicemail.
Quality of Service There are conditions that can compromise the quality of the service you may receive. These include: • Obstructions • Cabling • RF Interference Obstructions Nearby tall buildings or similar structures, heavily leafed trees and mountains can all degrade performance as they block the signal between the antenna and the satellites. Inmarsat performance is immune from natural environments such as clouds, fog, rain, snow, wind and smoke.
