Introduction

Satellite Messa
ging Overview
Exciting Satellite Receiver Technology
The Iridium satellite system is a revolution in
wireless communication technology. Satellites that
circle the earth keep you in constant
communication. Together with Iridium W orldP age
service, Motorola’s 9501 pager off ers the first true
global roaming capability in a small belt-worn
personal message receiver. While it offers the best
in paging features , the 9501 does not operate lik e a
typical pager .
INTRODUCTION
Receiving Satellite Signals
Most pagers receive messages transmitted from
towers on the ground. The 9501 pager receiv es
SM
messages transmitted directly from satellite. This
can be more difficult, in some instances, due to the
distance the signal must trav el from space .
With most satellite-based communication, such as
satellite TV or the Global P ositioning System (GPS),
a satellite dish or hand-held unit must be positioned
outside of buildings to receiv e information. Howe ver ,
with Motorola’ s Satellite Series 9501 Pager , you can
now receive messages inside b uildings .
Note:
In some environments, the message signal
may be effectively blocked, preventing
reception. The ability to receive messages
in the interior of large urban buildings will be
particularly limited.

Wearing Y our Pager
Your 9501 pager comes with a multi-functional
holster that orients the pager for the best possible
performance. It is recommended that you place the
pager in the holster (display side f acing in) and wear
it on your belt. The holster can also be used
effectiv ely off the body as a stand f or your pager. To
ensure optimum reception, extend the belt clip,
stand it up on a desk or table, and point it to ward the
nearest window.
Note:
Improper positioning of the 9501 pager will
impair message reception.
Proper Orientation of Pager
in Holster
Extended Belt Clip
(For standing on table
or desk)
Message Delivery Areas (MDAs)
Because your pager is a receiv e-only de vice and
cannot tell the Iridium system its location, you must
choose one or more message delivery areas to
register for co v erage. Message delivery areas
(MDAs) are Iridium-defined geogr aphic areas
representing local, regional, and national
boundaries designated by telephone Country
Codes (with optional suffix). For your con venience, a
complete list of Country Codes is permanently

stored in the PhoneBook of your 9501 pager.
Consult with your Iridium Service Provider for
various methods of MD A registration.
Motorola Satellite Series Products
Using this pager together with Motorola’ s Satellite
Series 9500 Portable Phone eliminates the need to
register message delivery areas and provides
additional benefits, such as “f ollow me” paging
services and the convenience of a global portable
phone. Ask your local authorized Motorola satellite
products dealer about the complete line of Motorola
Satellite Series products to determine which ones
best meet your demanding communication needs .
OPTIMAX™ EL Displa
y
To bring you superior clarity and easy readability,
the Motorola OPTIMAX hologram is included in your
pager’ s displa y. The hologram provides exceptional
contrast between the backg round of the displa y and
the pager’ s message. In addition, the 9501 pager
uses an electro-luminescent backlighting
technology for impro v ed readability in low-light
environments. The bac klight is automatically
activated whene v er a b utton is pressed.
