Handset Simple Operation

To the Iridium system you can connect up to four handsets.
A handset can be in one of two states: enabled or disabled.

Handset States

In each of the two states, the handset's normal display and signalling
can be described as follows:
Disabled State:
• The display is cleared and the light is off.
• The indicator lamp Power is flashing briefly every 5 seconds.
Enabled State:
• In the enabled state, various information is shown on the display.
An example:
Ready
01.01.1999
23:59:59
• The indicator lamp Power is on.

Handset Enabling/Disabling

To enable/disable the handset:
1. Press and hold the on/off button.
2. Wait until you hear the continuous tone signalling or see that the
indicator lamps Power, Call and Network are turned on
simultaneously.
3. Release the on/off button.

Pin Code

Each time a valid SIM card with an enabled PIN code is inserted,
you are asked to enter your pin code:
0125
Enter PIN
7/9/1999
12:00:48
Key in the pin code supplied with the SIM card (see the installation
manual). If the pin code keyed in is correct, the handset enters ready
state also called idle state:
Ready
7/9/1999
12:00:49
If any internal or external call is in progress or if for some reason the
Iridium network is not available at the time, a different text is shown
in the display.
If you did not key in the correct pin code, you will have to try again. If
you keyed in a wrong pin code three times in a row, you will have to
enter the PUK code (also supplied with the SIM card). See section
"SIM Card Handling" under "Handset Advanced Operation" for
further details.

Unlocking Handset

If the handset is locked, you have to unlock it before it can be used.
Locked
7/9/1999
12:05:06
To unlock the handset:
1. Press:
The display shows a list of user names. Your user name (I.e. the
current value of the associated priority level) determines which
facilities you have access to. Furthermore, the user name that is
used for unlocking the handset is the name stored in the call log
each time an external call is made.
