SAFETY
Exposure to radio frequency energy
IsatPhone 2 is a radio transmitter and receiver. When the phone or Bluetooth handsfree is turned on, it emits low levels of radio frequency energy. The phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the safety limits for exposure to radio frequencies (RF) as recommended by the ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection) and as adopted within mandatory standards of the European Commission and the United States of America.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is used to measure
radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when using a mobile phone. IsatPhone 2 is compliant with the EC standards for exposure specified in EN 50360 and EN 50361. For use of the phone at the ear, these standards set a SAR limit of 2.0 W/kg averaged over a 10g volume.
IsatPhone 2 is also compliant with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) standards and test procedures as reflected in the requirements of 47 CFR 2.1093 and FCC OET 65 Supplement C. For use of the phone at the ear, these standards set a SAR limit of 1.6 W/kg averaged over a 1g volume.
Tests for SAR are conducted in accordance with international guidelines for testing using standard operating positions as per the procedures for the applicable standards, with the device transmitting at the highest certified power levels in all operational frequency bands.
Note: The SAR requirements for IsatPhone 2 are met for handheld at the ear. No measures have been taken for SAR compliance in a body-worn position, since in such a position the device cannot properly communicate with the satellite. Use of the IsatPhone 2 in a body-worn position is therefore not permitted from both a performance and a safety perspective.
Pacemakers
Wireless phones may adversely affect the operation of some implanted cardiac pacemakers and other medically implanted equipment. Pacemaker patients should be aware that the use of an IsatPhone 2 in close proximity to a pacemaker might cause the device to malfunction. If a minimum distance of 15cm is kept between an IsatPhone 2 and a pacemaker, the risk of interference is limited. If you have any reason to suspect interference is occurring, immediately switch off your IsatPhone 2. Contact your cardiologist for more information.
Hearing aids
Although most modern hearing aids are immune to radio frequency interference from satellite terminals, some wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference from the use
of the IsatPhone 2, maintain additional separation between you and your IsatPhone 2 and/or consult with your doctor or audiologist.

Other medical devices
Although most modern electronic medical equipment in hospitals and other clinical environments is shielded from RF energy, there is still a risk that a wireless device could cause interference. As such, never use your IsatPhone 2 near electronic medical equipment without first requesting permission.
Blasting areas and potentially explosive environments
As with any wireless phone, do not use your IsatPhone 2 where blasting work is in progress. Observe all restrictions and follow any regulations or rules. Do not use your IsatPhone 2 in areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Note that such areas are often, but not always, clearly marked.
Battery safety
Use only Inmarsat-supplied or approved batteries, and recharge your battery with Inmarsat-supplied or approved chargers for the phone. Use of batteries that are not Inmarsat-supplied or approved may pose increased safety risks.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire, as they may explode. See Care and maintenance on page 58, and for guidance on the disposal of batteries and electronic equipment, see page 62.
Batteries may burn or explode if damaged. Do not dismantle, open, bend or cut cells or batteries. Do not attempt to modify or remanufacture the battery. Do not immerse or expose the battery to water or other liquids.
In the event of a battery leak, avoid contact of contents with skin or eyes. If this does happen, flush the affected areas with water and seek medical help as appropriate.
Children
Keep out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to play with your phone or accessories. They could hurt themselves or others. Products may contain small parts that could become detached and create
a choking hazard.

Driving
Only use IsatPhone 2 in a vehicle using an Inmarsatapproved vehicular docking unit. Check with the vehicle manufacturer to be sure that your phone or Bluetooth will not affect the electronic systems in the vehicle.
Full attention should be given to driving at all times and local laws and regulations restricting the use of electronic and wireless devices while driving must be observed.
Loudness warning
Avoid volume levels that may be harmful to your hearing.
Pinch hazard
Take care when opening and closing the antenna of your phone, as it may be possible to trap a fingertip.

USING YOUR ISATPHONE 2
Your IsatPhone makes and receives calls by communicating with Inmarsat satellites in orbit above the equator. Your phone antenna must be deployed and there must be a clear line of sight to an Inmarsat satellite for you to make and receive calls.
Connecting to the satellite
Switch your phone on, hold down the red key 
for a few seconds until the screen lights up. The Inmarsat logo will appear followed by the main screen.
If prompted to enter a PIN, enter the PIN code. The PIN is originally set by your service provider which you can reset. See Setting up SIM PIN code on page 54 for more information.
Stand outside with a clear view of the sky with the
phone antenna pointing upwards. There must be a clear line of sight between
the phone’s antenna and the satellite.
The more sky you can see the stronger the
signal should be from the satellite. If open sky makes up about 70% of your view when you look up, then the signal should be strong.
Searching satellite will appear on the screen. When your phone is connected to the satellite, the screen will display Ready for service. The top left of the screen will display Inmarsat.
The signal bars indicate the signal strength. At least two signal bars are required to make and receive calls.

Using the eCompass function
In order to connect to the network, the handset needs to acquire a GPS fix. This happens automatically. If you are unable to obtain a GPS fix, or your fix is out of date, your search will fail and a red circular icon will be displayed in the status bar on screen. The handset will
display information to assist you in acquiring a GPS fix. To maximise your chances of obtaining a GPS fix as quickly as possible, stand outside with a clear view of the sky.
Improving signal strength
If the received signal strength falls during a call, as shown by the signal strength indicator, ensure that the antenna is pointed towards the satellite and there are no obstacles between you and the sky. The eCompass is displayed to indicate the direction in which the antenna should be maintained. When you return the handset to your ear, ensure that you keep it pointed in the direction of the satellite.
Finding a satellite
If the handset is unable to register to the network, or if the received signal strength falls during a call, the eCompass function is automatically displayed on-screen. It helps by showing the direction towards the best Inmarsat satellite. In response, you must point the antenna until the onscreen satellite image turns green. You need to ensure that, in the direction indicated, there is clear line of sight to the sky and no obstructions. The eCompass is never displayed while the handset is correctly connected to
the network. When it appears, turn towards the satellite in the direction indicated. The on-screen satellite image changes to green to show that you are pointing the handset in the correct direction. Then press Search.
Obtaining a GPS fix
Before you can make a call, your phone needs a GPS fix so it can be located by the satellite. This happens automatically but if a new GPS fix is needed, the GPS fix 
icon will be displayed. Keep the phone in the open with a clear view of the sky until the 
icon disappears. Your phone is now ready to make and receive calls. See Obtaining a GPS fix manually on page 38 for more information.

Making an emergency call
Wireless phones, including IsatPhone 2, operate using radio signals, wireless networks, landline networks, and user-programmed functions. Because of this, connections in all conditions cannot be guaranteed.
You should never rely solely on any wireless device for essential communications like medical emergencies. Emergency calling requirements for satellite phones vary from country to country. Always check your emergency contact numbers and ensure they are stored on your phone before travelling. Please contact your service provider for specific country information.
To make an emergency call in the US, dial 911 or 112. Your call will be put through to a call centre which will connect you to the appropriate emergency service. Alternatively, select Menu > Contacts > Emergency numbers. An emergency call is free of charge. Prepay users do not need a positive balance to make an emergency call. Dialling 911 or 112 overides all security locks and bars on your phone.
For details on emergency calling in the rest of the world, please contact your service provider.

Incoming call alerting
To make or receive calls and messages with any satellite handset, you must maintain a clear line of sight between the antenna of your handset and the satellite. The Incoming call alerting feature notifies you of calls and text messages when satellite signal reception is limited and/or when the antenna is not deployed. Access to the service is still affected by the location of the handset, and is not available when out of the line of sight of the satellite. See Connecting to the satellite on page 13 for normal operation.
Using Incoming call alerting
Before using Incoming call alerting, each time you switch on the handset it must be successfully registered to the network. To do this, deploy the antenna in a location that has a clear line of sight to the satellite. When the handset is registered, the screen displays Ready for service and the two status LEDs change to green. See Connecting to the satellite on page 13. You can now stow the antenna and place the handset in the holster provided or in another convenient location. Unless Incoming call alerting is disabled, the screen displays Ready for service, Incoming call alerts only and the status LEDs change
to amber to indicate that the available signal strength is sufficient to notify you of incoming calls or messages.
If the received signal strength is too low, the status LEDs turn red and the screen displays the instruction Point antenna towards satellite. Move to a location with a clear line of sight to the satellite and the two status LEDs will change to amber. The handset will continue to search for the network until you reach a position where the signal strength is sufficient to receive incoming call alerts.
Receiving an Incoming call alert
When you receive an incoming call alert, you must action in order to obtain full connectivity to the network. This means that you must deploy the antenna if it is stowed, and move to a location with a clear line of sight to the satellite. On receiving an incoming call alert, the status LEDs flash amber and the alert tone sounds. See Sounds, ringtones and profiles on page 45. The screen displays
Incoming call and Time remaining 15s. The time counts down until you successfully connect to the network. Throughout this period, the incoming call can be rejected by pressing the red key.
Missed Incoming call alerts
If you reject an incoming call alert or do not successfully connect to the network within 15 seconds, the alert is terminated. The screen then informs you of a missed alert . You must connect to the network to receive more information about the missed call, voicemail or text. See Returning a call on page 16. Missed calls are forwarded to your voicemail if configured to do so. See Using voicemail on page 21.

Call barring
An IsatPhone 2 SIM card always uses an international number format, + or 00, and the country code, 870. Call barring prevents the following call types from being made or received by your phone:
•Outgoing calls: bars all outgoing calls
•International calls: bars all outgoing calls except to other Inmarsat numbers
•International except to home: bars all outgoing calls except to other Inmarsat numbers
•Incoming calls: bars all incoming calls
•Incoming outside home: bars all incoming calls except from other Inmarsat numbers
Note: This feature is not supported in all countries.
If you are using a SIM card with local country numbering, the call barring is as described by the menu.
The first time you set up call barring, you will need to reset the barring password. Select Menu > Settings > Call settings > Call barring. Select Options and navigate to
Change barring pass code. Enter the barring pass code and select OK. The default is 0000. Enter a new four-digit pass code and select OK. Then enter the new pass code again to confirm it.
You will need to enter this new pass code whenever you change your call barring settings.
