APAC (Western Pacific, Southeast Asia, Oceania

area)
AMER (Western Atlantic, Eastern Pacific, Conti-

nental America area)

For example, if using the above operation is performed in Japan, it is covered by the APAC
service area, and you will be connected to RCC Australia.

3. Once connected to RCC, speak slowly and clearly provide the following information:

RCC Australia (Canberra, Australia)

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

Caution when connecting shipboard network to FELCOM 250/500

If the FELCOM 250/500 is connected to a shipboard network that has a data monitoring system
or the like, the FELCOM 250/500 can become unstable when the equipment in the network trans­mits large volumes of broadcast packets. If this type of shipboard network is connected to the FEL­COM 250/500, consultation with the network system manager is necessary to provide measures
to ensure the FELCOM 250/500 operates stably.

An example of a system that transmits and receives large volumes of broadcast data is a data
monitoring system which has equipment that transfers large data (images, etc.) in short intervals.
One remedy is to connect a router (that is capable of handling large volumes of data) between the
shipboard network and the FELCOM 250/500.

1.2 SIM Card

Note: The FELCOM 250/500 uses only Inmarsat Fleetbroadband compatible SIM

cards.

Individual user information is stored on the SIM card. The system reads information
when the SIM card is inserted. The user registration number is saved on the SIM card,
and it is possible to transmit with different SIM cards from one terminal. In this case,
the transmission fees are charged to the person registered to the SIM Card. Contact
addresses can be saved on the SIM card.

There are 4 registration codes on the SIM card, [PIN1], [PUK1], [PIN2], [PUK2]. This
unit does not use the code [PIN2] and [PUK2]. Be sure to carefully write down the
[PIN1] and [PUK1] code numbers and do not lose or forget them.

PIN code

To prevent unauthorized use by a third party, there is a 4-8 digit PIN (Personal Iden­tification Number) code. When the unit is turned on, the user will be prompted to enter
the PIN code. Enter the [PIN1] code. If the wrong code is entered 3 times, the system
will lock and the Communication Unit cannot be used.

1. BASIC OPERATION

PUK code

If the system locks, use the 8-digit PUK (PIN Unblocked Key) code to unlock the sys­tem. Use the code [PUK1]. If the wrong PUK code is entered 10 times, the SIM card
will cease operating. If this happens, contact the retailer of the SIM card.

Handling the SIM card

• Ensure the power is off before inserting/removing the SIM card.

• Do not touch the IC part of the SIM card.

screen, press the T key while pressing the [0] key. The brilliance of the screen
can be adjusted from any screen.

Note: You call the 505 emergency calling with no PIN code.

If the PIN code is locked

If the wrong PIN code is entered three times consecutively, the current PIN number
becomes locked and the PUK screen looks like the one shown below. Do the proce­dure below to unlock the PIN code.
