u Basic Phone Operation
Setting up your Iridium phone
Be sure the battery is charged. Your phone is supplied
with a dual volt charger (110/220 volt) and an interna-
tional adapter so it can be charged anywhere in the
world.
To power the phone on/off
Press and hold the power key as shown until phone
powers on or powers off.
Maximizing performance
Having a completely open view of the sky plays a very
important role in ensuring call quality when using an
Iridium Satellite phone. Nearby obstructions such as
tall buildings, trees or mountains, can prevent calls, as
they block the signal between the phone's antenna and
the satellites that facilitate service.
Use the diagram above as a guideline to follow,
ensuring that surrounding obstructions are low to the
ground, or in the far distance.
Holding the phone
1. Rotate and extend the antenna (the antenna will
click into place).
2. When talking on the phone, the antenna should
be pointing to the sky.
3. Make sure that your surroundings are free of
obstructions.
