SATELLITE TELEPHONE AND DATA LINK SERVICES

NOTE: Separate accounts must be established to access the Iridium satellite
network for voice/SMS and low speed data transmission, and high speed data
transmission for the maintenance reports.
Operation of these features in the cockpit is accomplished through the AUX-
TELEPHONE, AUX-TEXT MESSAGING, AUX-REPORT STATUS, and AUX-WI-
FI SETUP Pages. For operation using the cabin handset, consult the instructions
provided with the handset.
Registering with Garmin Flight Data Services
A subscriber account must be established for each Iridium transceiver prior to
using the Iridium Satellite System for telephone services. Before setting up an Iridium
account, obtain the serial number of the Iridium Transceiver (GSR1) and the System
ID by selecting the AUX- SYSTEM STATUS Page. Contact Garmin Flight Data Services
at 1-866-739-5687 in the United States or 913-397-8200, ext. 1135.
After a subscriber account has been established, the system must be registered for

is accomplished by entering the required access code. This process is only performed
