Phone Operation
Normal Operation
Hold the phone as you would any other telephone. Fully extend the
antenna then rotate the antenna to either the left or right detent. The
antenna should be vertical to the ground and have a clear unobstructed
view of the sky.
Tips on Ecient Operation
For your phone to operate most eciently:
1. Keep your phone battery charged to ensure that the phone is ready for
use when needed.
2. Fully extend your antenna and rotate top portion of antenna as needed
to ensure antenna is pointed directly up while in use.
3. Make sure the antenna has a clear unobstructed view of the sky.
4. Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use.
5. Contact with the antenna aects call quality and may cause the phone
to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed.
6. Do not wear the phone on your body while making calls with the
headset accessory. Wearing the phone on the body can interfere
with proper phone operation, since the antenna requires a clear
unobstructed view of the sky to access the Iridium® satellite network.
7. Once you complete your call and are nished with the phone, return the
antenna to the center upright position and gently retract the antenna
before carrying or storing the phone between uses.
8. For backup, keep a written record of all important information stored on
your phone.
Notice: Keep all covers fully and securely installed (SOS button cover,
headset cover, and bottom accessory connector cover) when not in use.
Failure to do so could result in dust and/or moisture being introduced to
the unit which could in turn cause failure of the unit.
