Incoming call alerting
To make or receive calls and messages with any satellite
handset, you must maintain a clear line of sight between
the antenna of your handset and the satellite. The
Incoming call alerting feature notifies you of calls and
text messages when satellite signal reception is limited
and/or when the antenna is not deployed. Access to the
service is still affected by the location of the handset, and
is not available when out of the line of sight of the satellite.
See Connecting to the satellite on page 13 for normal
operation.
Using Incoming call alerting
Before using Incoming call alerting, each time you switch
on the handset it must be successfully registered to the
network. To do this, deploy the antenna in a location that
has a clear line of sight to the satellite. When the handset
is registered, the screen displays Ready for service and
the two status LEDs change to green. See Connecting to
the satellite on page 13. You can now stow the antenna
and place the handset in the holster provided or in
another convenient location. Unless Incoming call alerting
is disabled, the screen displays Ready for service,
Incoming call alerts only and the status LEDs change
to amber to indicate that the available signal strength is
sufficient to notify you of incoming calls or messages.
If the received signal strength is too low, the status LEDs
turn red and the screen displays the instruction Point
antenna towards satellite. Move to a location with a
clear line of sight to the satellite and the two status LEDs
will change to amber. The handset will continue to search
for the network until you reach a position where the signal
strength is sufficient to receive incoming call alerts.
Receiving an Incoming call alert
When you receive an incoming call alert, you must action
in order to obtain full connectivity to the network. This
means that you must deploy the antenna if it is stowed,
and move to a location with a clear line of sight to the
satellite. On receiving an incoming call alert, the status
LEDs flash amber and the alert tone sounds. See Sounds,
ringtones and profiles on page 45. The screen displays
Incoming call and Time remaining 15s. The time counts
down until you successfully connect to the network.
Throughout this period, the incoming call can be rejected
by pressing the red key.
Missed Incoming call alerts
If you reject an incoming call alert or do not successfully
connect to the network within 15 seconds, the alert is
terminated. The screen then informs you of a missed
alert . You must connect to the network to receive more
information about the missed call, voicemail or text. See
Returning a call on page 16. Missed calls are forwarded to
your voicemail if configured to do so. See Using voicemail
on page 21.
