To use the tri-mode phone for a Globalstar call, the Globalstar antenna on the back must be
rotated until it sets into one of two positions. The position depends on whether the user
places the phone on the right or left ear. When the phone is resting comfortably between
the user’s ear and mouth, the Globalstar antenna must be pointing straight up to the sky.
A quick way of checking correct antenna position is to hold the phone to the ear and point
the index finger of the hand holding the phone toward the sky. The antenna should point in
the same direction. The antenna should also point straight up when using the keypad or
looking at the screen.
To make a Globalstar call the user must be outside with an unobstructed view of the sky.
For best performance, the user should move away from tall obstacles such as buildings,
trees, or mountains. A tri-mode phone can be used in Globalstar mode inside a vehicle with
a Globalstar car kit.
