Start-Up Procedure - Iridium Extreme PTT User Manual

Start-up Procedure

To start-up your phone, you will need to ensure that you have a charged
battery installed.
Once the initial power-up sequence is completed, a series of messages
and prompts will appear. Since your device is designed to support phone
and SOS services, you will continue to be prompted to program your
SOS button upon each power-up until the programming sequence is
completed. See Section 3, p. 173 for additional details.
SOS function works only in Phone Mode and not in PTT Mode. Switch to
Phone Mode to send SOS messages. Valid SIM, Airtime subscription, and
proper SOS set-up required for SOS to function. Failure to satisfy these
conditions will prevent SOS from functioning, which could prevent or
delay an emergency response and result in serious injury or death.
Use of the SOS button requires an active SIM card and service subscription.
To validate whether you have an active service subscription, check with
your service provider and make a test call to confirm status. If you plan to
only use PTT Mode, you still will be prompted to program SOS mode and
should either purchase a SIM card with base level SIM card plan for SOS
use or program a non-functioning number and relabel the SOS button as a
non-functioning button to avoid future confusion.
For your safety and the safety of any users of your Iridium Extreme® PTT
device, you must review and ensure that any users are provided with these
important safety instructions regarding the use of this device and the
SOS button.
