Introduction Congratulations on your new Iridium handset or PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) telephone. Your Iridium system is a modular system that consists of an antenna, transmitter/receiver, handset and/or desk unit, and optional PSTN telephone/PBX (Private Branch Exchange) switchboard. You can operate the Iridium system in voice mode from a handset, desk unit, and/or PSTN telephone.

IRIDIUM Installation How to Mount the Satellite Transceiver Box Fix the satellite transceiver box to the wall using the four screws included in the package. The screws are positioned as shown below: First tighten three of the screws. The wall surface should be plane. If there is a discrepancy in planeness exceeding 1 mm, level the discrepancy up by shims or washers under the fourth screw before this is tightened.
Installation IRIDIUM How to Put on the Finishing Cover When the satellite transceiver box has been mounted on the wall, put on the finishing cover. The small lid in the finishing cover should be shut. Press the hooks inside the finishing cover down on the two thin edges of the satellite transceiver box.
IRIDIUM Installation How to Insert the SIM Card First, open the small lid in the finishing cover protecting the SIM card reader. Then go through each of the follow- ing steps: Lift the SIM card holder so that the slot points upwards.
Installation IRIDIUM How to Remove the Finishing Cover You may need to dismount the satellite transceiver box from the wall, e.g. in connection with service. For access to the mounting screws, the finishing cover can be removed from the satellite transceiver box as follows: ...
IRIDIUM Installation How to Change the Antenna Cable Position In some installations, it may be convenient to change the antenna connection to a position at the top of the satellite transceiver box. First face the back of the satellite transceiver box.

Installation IRIDIUM Place the demounted LBT unit near the satellite trans- ceiver box, without disconnecting it. Rest the bottom of the satellite transceiver box on a block of soft wood. Use a hammer and a mandrel to hammer out the brick indi- cated by a recess in the top of the aluminium case.
One of the advantages of this equipment is the easy-to-handle, lightweight and rugged antenna. Because the IRIDIUM ® system is characterised by a good link margin, the antenna is a passive quadrifillar helix type, requiring no external power supply and consisting of only nonmoving parts.

Tests have shown that only in case very old GPS equipment is used, a user may expect a minor influence on the GPS originated from the Iridium equipment. This can be avoided by ensuring a distance of at least 1 m between the two antennas.
Installation Inmarsat equipment The operating frequency bands of the iridium and Inmarsat systems are neighbours, and it is not in any way by any technical solution possible to completely separate these bands. This means that interference from Inmarsat can be expected, especially if the antennas are placed near each other. The distance between the antennas Should be as far as possible.
Ringing drive capability: 1400 W @ 30 Hz (= 5 normal ring units) 2.10 Data Interface The Iridium terminal includes a 9 pol Sub-D connection. The connection is a RS232 interface. For using this interface, please contact your Iridium Service Provider, that will supply you with Iridium Data Interface software 0125...
