Inmarsat ISATPHONE Quick Start Manual page 4

Connect to the satellite
Stand outside in a place where there are no obstacles
between you and the sky. Fully deploy the handset
antenna and point it upwards. To register to the Inmarsat
network, your handset must acquire a GPS fix and
simultaneously find the Inmarsat network. This happens
automatically (see User Guide).
When the handset is registered to the network, the
name Inmarsat is displayed beside the signal strength
indicator. To send and receive calls, at least two indicator
bars must be filled. If signal strength is too low, on-screen
instructions will help you to improve it (see User Guide).
Note: Before you make a call, your phone needs a GPS
fix so it can be located by the satellite. This happens
automatically, but if a new GPS fix is needed, the icon
will be displayed. Place the phone in the open with a clear
view of the sky until the icon disappears.
