Iridium 9555 Satellite Phone
Simple User Guide
This is not a regular cellphone, but it's easy!
Just follow these 3 simple steps...
1

3
Go Outside
Extend Antenna
Switch On
1) Go Outside
Before you switch on the phone ensure that you are outside, away
from buildings and trees, with a clear uninterrupted view of as much
sky as possible.
The phone requires a clear line of sight to the satellites at all times.
The more sky you can see the more reliable the connection will be.
This phone will not work reliably indoors (if at all), even by a
window.
It may be helpful to understand that there are many Iridium
satellites, and that they are continually moving across the sky,
'handing-over' your signal from one to another as they pass
overhead. Therefore, it is normal for the signal strength to vary as
the satellites cross your path. If you do not have a sufficiently
expansive clear uninterrupted view of the sky then your received
signal strength may vary dramatically, or even drop altogether, as
you await the arrival of the next satellite. The only solution to this is
to find yourself a position with more sky!

To achieve this it can be pivoted from side to side depending whether you intend to use the phone in your left or right hand. In practice however, in favourable signal conditions, this is usually unnecessary.
