2 Introduction

The Flightcell Iridium 9555 Cradle is used to install an Iridium 9555 satellite phone in an aircraft or vehicle.
The phone cradle provides secure mounting for the Iridium handset and interfaces all necessary antenna,
power, voice and data connections.

The cradle also contains noise suppression technology to reduce intrusion of aircraft power supply noise into
the audio system.

Flightcell has designed this product to enable integration of the phone into existing audio systems, or as part
of the built-in Flightcell DZM voice, data and tracking system.

Installed with the Flightcell DZM, your Iridium satellite phone can be mounted anywhere on the aircraft or
vehicle, as it is controlled remotely from the Flightcell DZM user interface.
