Move the antenna to its optimal position (pointing straight up to the
■
sky) until it sets into one of three positions. Ensure the antenna is fully
extended. You cannot make or receive a call with the antenna stored.

The phone does not operate inside a building, nor does it operate in a
■
vehicle, unless you are using the Globalstar Installation Kit.
To prevent dropped calls, use the phone outdoors where you can see the
■
whole sky and have direct line of sight access to the satellite. If a call is
dropped, a "fade alert" sounds (to verify that this feature is turned on,
see Fade, page 71).
For best performance, move away from tall obstacles such as buildings
■
or trees.
