USING YOUR ISATPHONE 2

Your IsatPhone makes and receives calls by
communicating with Inmarsat satellites in orbit above
the equator. Your phone antenna must be deployed
and there must be a clear line of sight to an Inmarsat
satellite for you to make and receive calls.
Connecting to the satellite
Switch your phone on, hold down the red key
few seconds until the screen lights up. The Inmarsat logo
will appear followed by the main screen.
If prompted to enter a PIN, enter the PIN code. The
PIN is originally set by your service provider which you
can reset. See Setting up SIM PIN code on page 54
for more information.
for a
Searching satellite will appear on the screen. When
your phone is connected to the satellite, the screen will
display Ready for service. The top left of the screen
will display Inmarsat.
The signal bars indicate the signal strength. At least
two signal bars are required to make and receive calls.
Stand outside with a clear
view of the sky with the
phone antenna pointing
upwards. There must be a
clear line of sight between
the phone's antenna and
the satellite.
The more sky you can
see the stronger the
signal should be from
the satellite. If open sky
makes up about 70%
of your view when you
look up, then the signal
should be strong.
