Introduction
Caution
Before using your Globalstar Installation Kit in a vehicle, please
read this manual thoroughly and retain it for future reference.
Professional installation is recommended.
Features
The Globalstar Installation Kit (GIK) allows your Globalstar
satellite phone to be used as a mobile phone in your vehicle.
With this kit installed in a vehicle, you can:
■ Turn the phone on and off by turning the vehicle’s ignition on
and off.
■ Talk without picking up the phone.
■ Obtain unlimited talk time using DC current supplied by your
vehicle.
■ Charge the phone’s battery.
Safety precautions
When using your phone in a vehicle, please observe the following
rules.
Failure to fol low these instructions may lead to seri ou s
personal injury and possible property damage.
1
Introduction
■
Secure the phone in your vehicle to prevent pers onal injury and
damage to the phone in the event of an accident.
When attaching or detaching the exterior antenna to the GIK
with the antenna cables, disconnect all power to the phone and
the GIK. Note that DC vol tage is present in the central
conductor of the antenna cable (45-C6162-1). See Globalstar
Installation Kit standard components, page 10.
■ Detach the phone from the GIK and disconnect the power
interface cable (
45-C6184-1) to the GIK when jump starting the
vehicle or recharging the car battery. Jump starting may cause
the GIK fuse to open. Refer to the installation sheet for further
information regarding interconnects.
Exposure to radio frequency signals
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is on, it receives and also sends
out radio frequency (RF) signals.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC)
adopted RF exposure gui d elines with safety levels for hand-held
wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety
standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards
bodies:
■ ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1999 Standard
■ NCRP Report 86 (1986)
■ ICNIRP (1998)

Radiation
1
The phone and this kit are designed to comply with established
ANSI, FCC, and international safety standards for safe levels of
human exposure to RF energy. Nonetheless, RF field intensit y at
the surface of the transmitting antenna is fairly high. Maintaining
a minimum line-of -sight separation distance of 25 cm (10 inches)
between the transmitting antenna and all personnel will ensure
that the General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure Maximum
Permissible Exposure ( MPE) limits are not exceed ed. This satisfie s
the MPE limits mandated by the FCC in 47 CFR Ch. 1 (2006
Edition), Part 1, paragraph 1.1310 and defined in the ANSI/IEEE
C95.1-1999 standard, and also sat isfies the slightly mor e-stringen t
European and internatio nal exposure limit recommendations of
IRPA (1991) and ICNIRP (1998).
Antenna care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could
damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.
Phone operation
Hold the phone as you would any other tel ephone with the antenna
pointed up and over your shoulder.

Introduction
Tip
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
❑ Extend your antenna fully.
❑ Do not touch the antenna unne cessarily whe n the phone is
in use. Contact with the antenna affects call quality and
may cause the phone to opera te at a higher power level
than otherwise needed.
Driving
In the areas where you drive, always obey the local laws and
regulations on the use of wireless telephones.
If using your phone while driving, please:
■ Give full attention to driving – driving safely is your first
responsibility.
■ Use hands-free operation, if available.
■ Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions require you to do so.
Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against
the RF signals from your wireless phone.

Introduction
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that
a minimum separation of six inches (15 cm) be maintained between
a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are
consistent with the independent research by and recommendations
of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
■ Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from
their pacemaker when the phone is turned on.
■ Should not carry the phone in a br east pocket.
■ Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the
potential for interference.
■ If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place, turn your phone off immediately.
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing
aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult
your service provider (or call the customer service line to discuss
alternatives). Optional for each phone manufacturer.
Other medical devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately
shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to
assist you in obtaining this information.
5
Introduction
Turn your phone off in health care facilities when any regulations
posted in these area s instruct you to do so. Hosp itals or health care
facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to
external RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately
shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the
manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You
should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has
been added to your vehicle.
Posted facilities
Turn your phone off in any facility where posted notices require
you to do so.
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch
off your phone before boarding an aircraft.
Blasting areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off
when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off tw o-way
radio”. Obey all signs and instructions.
