Iridium 9505a Instruction Manual

How to make or receive calls using your Iridium satellite phone?
Take the following steps to ensure the proper functioning of your Iridium phone:
•
Fully charge the phone's battery.
•
Insert the SIM-card (chip) in the SIM slot under the phone's battery.
•
Go outside with a clear view of the sky. Turn the phone on and ensure that the antenna is extended and pointing
straight up toward the sky. Wait for the phone to register on the network - the LED indicator on top of the phone will
be flashing green and you will see "IRIDIUM Registered" on the display.
•
To place a call, dial 00, the country code, the area / network code and then the phone number. Press the green button
to start the call. A phone number in the U.S. should be dialed in this sequence: 00-1-480-752-5105.

To hang up, press the red button.

To answer an incoming call, extend the antenna, and press the green button.

When I turn on my Iridium phone, I am prompted to enter a PIN-code. What is it?
It means your SIM-card is protected by a PIN code. The default PIN code is 1111. To protect your phone and account from
unauthorized use we suggest you set up (and memorize) a new PIN-code for your SIM-card (consult the phone's user manual).
I mistyped the PIN code and my Iridium phone is now blocked. How do I unblock it?
If the PIN code has been entered incorrectly three times in a row, the phone will automatically block the SIM-card. To unblock
it, turn on the phone, enter **05* and press the green button. When prompted, enter the eight-digit PUK1 code and press the
green button. You will be offered to set up your new PIN-code.
The PUK1 code is supplied with your SIM-card upon activation. If you don't know or can't locate the PUK1 code, please
contact us (SeaTech Systems).
