Using Your Tri-Mode Phone for Data

For data connections (packet or asynchronous), your QUALCOMM

Globalstar GSP-1600 Tri-Mode Phone works much as it would for a voice

call.

Note

For complete details about how to use your QUALCOMM

Globalstar Tri-Mode Phone, see the QUALCOMM Globalstar

GSP-1600 Tri-Mode Phone User Guide (document number

80-98153-2).

General Tips

Here are some general tips for using your Tri-Mode Phone for data:

■ Make sure the Tri-Mode Phone battery is charged and properly

installed.

■ Never hold the Tri-Mode Phone by the Globalstar Satellite Antenna.

Tips for Globalstar Satellite Service

Here are some tips for using your Tri-Mode Phone for Globalstar satellite

service:

■ Position the Tri-Mode Phone outdoors where its Globalstar Satellite

Antenna has an unimpeded view of the sky (or mount it in a vehicle

using a QUALCOMM Globalstar Hands-Free Car Kit).

■ Make sure that tall obstacles, such as buildings and trees, do not block

sky (satellite) access.

■ Extend the Globalstar Satellite Antenna to point straight up to the sky.

■ Lay the Tri-Mode Phone on its side on a convenient surface such as a

table for hands-free operation.

■ Remember, for Globalstar satellite service the Tri-Mode Phone will not

work inside a building, nor will it work in a vehicle unless you are using

a car kit.

Setting Mode Preferences for Data

Your Tri-Mode Phone can operate in three different modes:

■ Globalstar satellite mode — supports packet and asynchronous data

■ Digital cellular mode — supports packet data only

■ Analog cellular mode — does not support data

To make a Globalstar satellite or digital cellular data connection, an

appropriate mode preference must be set on your Tri-Mode Phone. The

mode preference tells the phone what type of service it can look for

(Globalstar satellite, digital, or analog), in order of priority.
