Certication information (SAR)

THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES

Your wireless Thuraya XT phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) recommended by international guidelines (ICNIRP). These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The exposure guidelines for mobile devices employ a unit of measurement known as the Specic Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR

limit stated in the ICNIRP guidelines is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using

standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certied power level in all tested frequency bands. The actual SAR

level of an operating device can be below the maximum value because the device is designed to use only the power required to reach the network. That amount changes depending on a number of factors such as how close you are to a network base station. The highest SAR value under the ICNIRP guidelines for use of the device at the ear is 0.291W/kg

Use of device accessories and enhancements may result in different SAR values. SAR values may vary depending on national reporting and testing requirements and the network band. Additional SAR information may be provided under product information at www.apsat.co.kr

02 03 04

Before you start

FCC Compliance Statement

Your mobile device is also designed to meet the requirements for exposure to radio waves established by the Federal Communications Commission (USA) and Industry Canada. These requirements set a SAR limit of 1.6W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue.

The Highest SAR value reported under this standard during product certication for use at the ear is 0.457W/kg

Before you start

This equipment generates or uses radio frequency energy. Changes or modications to this equipment may cause harmful interference unless the modications are expressly approved in the instruction manual.The user could lose the authority to operate this equipment if an unauthorized change or modication is made.

Caution

RoHS

This product is in compliance with EU RoHS Directives and manufactured using lead-free solder paste and parts.

Introduction

Your Thuraya XT Satellite Phone is a powerful and compact phone offering total convenience and mobility across Thuraya’s coverage

area. Its superiority is reected in the integration of two technologies in one handset: satellite (SAT) and GPS, offering you an

unmatched combination of quality and performance.

To achieve the best connection in SAT mode, please consider the following:

- The antenna should be fully extended during incoming and outgoing calls.

- The SAT signal indicator reects the strength of the connection with the Thuraya satellites.

- SAT communication requires clear space without obstructions such as buildings, trees and mountains.

Please check the actual Thuraya coverage map at www.thuraya.com.

Getting started

03 04

HPA (High-Penetration Alerting)

The Thuraya system features a ‘High-Penetration Alerting’ capability that allows you to be notied of incoming calls even when your Thuraya XT has poor signal coverage. When the Thuraya XT receives a High-Penetration Alerting signal it will alert you with an ‘early

ring’ and a special display message (see page 25).

To answer the call, you must immediately extend the antenna and move the Thuraya XT into a position that has a clear ‘line of sight’ to the satellite. When this has occurred the Thuraya XT display will change, prompting you to answer the call and proceed with the conversation. If the call is not answered promptly after the High-Penetration Alerting signal is received, the calling party will be diverted

to voice mail and/or an announcement stating that you are not available to answer.

Similar to GSM, the satellite coverage area is divided into many different regions. The phone searches the network automatically (see

page 67) and determines which service region is active by registering its presence with the Thuraya system. If the Thuraya XT has not

been able to update this registration due to a weak signal, the registration information will become out of date or ‘stale’. This is indicated on the display by a blinking SAT icon in the left of the signal strength indicator. This condition will clear automatically once signal

conditions improve and a call is made or a period of time elapses. You also have the option to speed up that procedure by manually

having the Thuraya XT register with the Thuraya system. This is accomplished with the function SAT Registration in the Thuraya XT’s menu (see page 68). Make sure you have good SAT signal strength before using this function.

Getting started

Connect the charger and charge the battery

You should charge the battery supplied with your Thuraya XT as soon as possible to obtain full battery charge.

To charge the battery:

• Fit the correct country specic adapter into the charger.

• Open the cover on the bottom of your phone.

• Plug the charger into the charger jack.

• Connect the charger to an AC source.

Initial steps

Inserting SIM card

To insert the SIM card:

• Switch off the Thuraya XT and remove the battery.

• Insert the SIM card as shown below.

While the battery is charging you can observe the symbol changing to cyclically. The battery is fully charged after approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes. The charger stops charging

automatically when the battery is full. As long as the charger is not

disconnected it restarts charging after a while to keep the battery fully charged.

You may still use the Thuraya XT while charging the battery.

The internal clock for time, date (see page 65) and alarms (see page

46) will still keep running for about two hours if neither the battery nor

the charger is connected, but no alarm will sound unless a charged

battery is connected.
