Introduction
Your Iridium equipment is a modular system that consists of a
transceiver unit, control handset unit, antenna unit and an optional
analogue PSTN telephone/PABX.
You can make and receive voice calls on the control handset and the
analogue PSTN telephone. You can connect up to four handsets
and one analogue PSTN telephone or PBX switchboard to the
system.
The system provides intercom for internal calls between any control
handsets and between the analogue telephone and a control
handset.
Via the data port on the transceiver, the unit can be used as a data
modem for dial-up data calls, Internet access, SMS and E-mail
messaging.
Iridium Satellite System
Iridium is a global satellite network for telecommunications. It
consists of 66 satellites providing world-wide coverage.
The Iridium system makes it possible for any two locations on Earth
to establish wireless global telephone contact.
You will need an Iridium subscription with an active Subscriber
Identification Module (SIM card). The SIM card holds your phone
number and the phone number will thus follow the SIM card if used
in another Iridium equipment.
You can buy a subscription from one of the Iridium Service Partners.
The Iridium Service Partners can be found on www.iridium.com .
Different services are available from the service partners, for
example Crew Calling, Pre and Post Paid subscriptions.
Important!
For FCC RF exposure compliance, the antenna must be
installed with a minimum distance of 0.61m (2 feet) away
from all persons.
About this Manual
This manual provides instructions on how to operate a control
handset, an analogue telephone and on using the transceiver as a
data modem.
The instructions on operating the handset are divided into two parts.
The first part deals with Basic operation, which includes e.g. making
and answering calls. The second part describes the more advanced
functions of the system.
All functions of your Iridium equipment can be operated by following
the step by step procedures described in this manual. Each
procedure is an explicit sequence of key presses that has to be
carried out.
Unless otherwise specified, the description of the individual
procedures has been based on the assumption that the handset is
enabled and is displaying either “Ready” or “Ready Internal” in the
display. This state is through out the manual referred to as ready
state.
We recommend that you read the manual before using the equipment.
Please note
Any responsibility or liability for loss or damage in connection with
the use of this product and the accompanying documentation is
disclaimed. The information in this manual is furnished for informational use only, is subject to change without notice, may contain
errors or inaccuracies, and represents no commitment whatsoever.

Handset Basic Operation
You can connect up to four handsets to this Iridium equipment.
A handset can be in one of two states: enabled or disabled.
Enter PIN
7/9/1999
12:00:48
Handset States
In each of the two states, the handset’s normal display and signalling
can be described as follows:
Disabled State
• The display is cleared and the light is off.
• The indicator lamp Power is flashing briefly every 5 seconds.
Enabled State
• In the enabled state, various information is shown on the display.
An example:
Ready
01/01/1999
23:59:59
• The indicator lamp Power is on.
Handset Enabling/Disabling
To enable/disable the handset:
1. Press and hold the on/off button.
Key in the pin code supplied with the SIM card. If the pin code keyed
in is correct, the handset enters ready state:
Ready
7/9/1999
12:00:49
If for some reason the Iridium network is not available at the time,
the display will show “Ready Internal” and you will only be able to
make internal calls between the handsets and the analogue phone.
If you did not key in the correct pin code, you will have to try again. If
you key in a wrong pin code three times in a row, the SIM card will
be blocked and you will have to enter the PUK code to unblock it.
(The PUK code is supplied with the SIM card). See section “SIM
Card Handling” under “Handset Advanced Operation” for further
details.
Unlocking Handset
If the handset is locked, you have to unlock it before it can be used.

2. Wait until you hear the continuous tone signalling or see that the
indicator lamps Power, Call and Network are turned on simultane-
ously.
3. Release the on/off button.
Pin Code
Each time a valid SIM card with an enabled PIN code is inserted,
you are asked to enter your pin code:

Call Functions
Speaker, Earpiece and Microphone
The earpiece is always turned on. The speaker and
microphone are always in opposite states, i.e. if the speaker is on,
the microphone is off, and vice versa.
You can toggle the speaker and microphone states by means of the
speaker key. The speaker icon appears on the display when the
speaker is on, and disappears when the microphone is on.
Hands free operation is not possible. You can call or receive a call,
and toggle the speaker on - for listening purposes only.
Note: When the speaker is off, you can see that you are being
called (the display will show “Incoming Call”) - but there will be
no sound in the speaker.

Handset 4: 1004
Making a Manual Call
Provided that no internal or external calls are in progress and that
the handset is enabled and unlocked, it is possible to make an
internal call.
Furthermore, if a valid SIM card has been inserted into the SIM card
slot and the correct PIN code has been entered or the PIN code has
been disabled, it is also possible to make an external call.
In order to be able to make a manual call, the handset must either be
in ready state or inside the phone book. For a description on how to
return to ready state, see section “About this Manual”. If the idle text
differs from ‘Ready’ (e.g. SIM card messages) only internal calls are
possible.
Now in order to make a manual call, do the following:
1. Hook off.
2. Use the numeric keys to key in the number you want to dial.
For external calls, first key: 0
