Your IsatPhone makes and receives calls by
communicating with Inmarsat satellites in orbit above
the equator. Your phone antenna must be deployed
and there must be a clear line of sight to an Inmarsat
satellite for you to make and receive calls.
connecting to the satellite
Switch your phone on, hold down the red key for
a few seconds until the screen lights up. The Inmarsat
logo will appear followed by the main screen.
If prompted to enter a PIN, enter the PIN code. The
PIN is originally set by your service provider which you
can reset. See Setting up SIM PIN code on page 46
for more information.
Stand outside with a
clear view of the sky
with the phone antenna
pointing upwards. There
must be a clear line
of sight between the
phone’s antenna and the
satellite.
The more sky you can
see the stronger the
signal should be from
the satellite. If open sky
makes up about 70%
of your view when you
look up, then the signal
should be strong.
Searching satellite will appear on the screen. The
top left of the screen will display Inmarsat when your
phone is connected to the satellite.
The signal bars indicate the signal strength. At least
two signal bars are required to make and receive calls.
obtaining a GPS x
Before you can 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 GPS
fix
icon will be displayed. Keep the phone in the
open with a clear view of the sky until the
icon
disappears. Your phone is now ready to make and
receive calls. See Obtaining a GPS fix manually on
page 29 for more information.
