ivIntroductionCongratulations on your new Iridium equipment.Your Iridium equipment is a modular system that consists of anantenna, transmitter/receiver, control handset and/or fixed controlunit, and optional PSTN telephone/PBX.You can operate the Iridium equipment in voice mode from a controlhandset, fixed control unit, and/or PSTN telephone. To the systemyou can connect up to four handsets or fixed control units and onePSTN telephone or PBX switchboard.Important!For FCC RF exposure compliance, the antenna must beinstalled with a minimum distance of 0.61m (2 feet) awayfrom all persons.About this ManualThis manual provides instructions on how to operate a controlhandset and telephone.Basically, the manual consists of two main parts: The first deals withsimple operation, which includes e.g. making and answering calls.The second part describes the more advanced functions of thesystem.All functions of your Iridium equipment can be tested by following thestep by step procedures described in this manual. Each procedure isan explicit sequence of key presses that has to be carried out.Unless otherwise specified, the description of the individual proce-dures has been based on the assumption that the CU is enabled andhas returned to idle state. See section “Handset Enabling/Disabling”under “Handset Simple Operation” on how to enable and disable thehandset.Returning to Idle State on an Enabled CU:1. Press , if necessary, a number of times until one of thefollowing idle texts are shown in the display:• Ready• Occupied• Internal Call• External Call• Lockedand possibly time, date and time or position depending on the statusof your Iridium equipment. Alternative idle texts are specified insection “SIM Card Messages” under “SIM Card Handling”.2. Make sure that the CU is hooked on. Place the handset in thecradle and press if the icon is shown in thedisplay.We recommend that you read the manual before using the equip-ment.Please noteAny responsibility or liability for loss or damage in connection withthe use of this product and the accompanying documentation isdisclaimed.

Itconsists of 66 satellites providing world-wide coverage.The Iridium system makes it possible for any two locations on Earthto establish wireless global telephone contact.AbbreviationsCU Control unitGPS Global Positioning SystemDTMF Dual Tone Multiple FrequencyLBT L-Band TransceiverPBX Public Branch ExchangePSTN Public Switched Telephone NetworkUTC Universal Time Coordinated (app. the same as GreenwichMean Time)RTU Receiver and Transmitter Unit (also called Transceiver)0125
2Using a TelephoneTo your Iridium equipment, you can connect a PSTN telephone or aPBX. Many of the system’s more advanced features, like the securitylock function, are however not accessible from a telephone. Neitheris any SIM card action. Therefore, when using the telephone, theSIM card has to be operational. This means that the pin code has tobe disabled on the card, or the pin code must be entered from a CUbefore the telephone is used. A CU is either a handset control unit ora desk mounted control unit.Telephone Call SyntaxFor external calls, entering a telephone number on a PSTNtelephone follows the syntax of this example:1. Pick up phone: ready tone.2. External call 03. Prefix for automatic call 0 0 4. Country code, e.g. 4 5 5. Area code, e.g. 7 0 6. Subscriber’s number, e.g. 1 3 7 0 0 0 7. To confirm you want to make the call,press #For internal calls, entering a telephone number on a PSTNtelephone follows the syntax of this example:1. Pick up phone: ready tone.2. Internal number, e.g. 1001 3. To confirm you want to make the call,press #Factory setup of extension numbers are:PSTN/PBX: 1000CU 1: 1001CU 2: 1002CU 3: 1003CU 4: 1004Up to four control units and a telephone/PBX can be connected tothe transceiver at the same time. Note that if connecting a PBX tothe transceiver, the PBX must function as a PSTN telephone.To dial control unit 1 from a local telephone connected to your Iridiumequipment via a PBX, first pick up the phone, then:1. Dial the number for the outgoing line connected to the trans-ceiver, eg. 102. When you hear the ready tone, dial the extension number ofcontrol unit 1: 1001 3. To confirm you want to make the call,press #DTMF Tones - Limitations:When used for internal calls, control units do not generate DTMFtones. Therefore the PBX cannot be set up for using DTMF tones toaccess extension numbers.0125
3Handset Simple OperationTo the Iridium system you can connect up to four handsets. A handset can be in one of two states: enabled or disabled.Handset StatesIn each of the two states, the handset’s normal display and signallingcan 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:• The indicator lamp Power is on.Handset Enabling/DisablingTo enable/disable the handset:1. Press and hold the on/off button.2. Wait until you hear the continuous tone signalling or see that theindicator lamps Power, Call and Network are turned onsimultaneously.3. Release the on/off button.Pin CodeEach time a valid SIM card with an enabled PIN code is inserted,you are asked to enter your pin code:Key in the pin code supplied with the SIM card (see the installationmanual). If the pin code keyed in is correct, the handset enters readystate also called idle state:If any internal or external call is in progress or if for some reason theIridium network is not available at the time, a different text is shownin the display.If you did not key in the correct pin code, you will have to try again. Ifyou keyed in a wrong pin code three times in a row, you will have toenter the PUK code (also supplied with the SIM card). See section“SIM Card Handling” under “Handset Advanced Operation” forfurther details.Unlocking HandsetIf the handset is locked, you have to unlock it before it can be used.To unlock the handset:1. Press: The display shows a list of user names. Your user name (I.e. thecurrent value of the associated priority level) determines whichfacilities you have access to. Furthermore, the user name that isused for unlocking the handset is the name stored in the call logeach time an external call is made.Ready01.01.199923:59:59Ready7/9/199912:00:49Enter PIN7/9/199912:00:48>CaptainCommanderCrewOfficerLocked7/9/199912:05:060125

Confirm:Call FunctionsSpeaker, Earpiece and MicrophoneThe earpiece is always turned on. The speaker and microphone arealways in opposite states, i.e. if the speaker is on, themicrophone is off, and vice versa.You can toggle the speaker and microphone states bymeans of the speaker key. The speaker icon appears on the displaywhen 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 beingcalled (the display will show “Incoming Call”) - but there will beno sound in the speaker.Hooking On/OffBefore a call can be initiated, the handset must be hooked off. To doso, either remove the handset from the hook or use the on/off-hookkey.The handset icon on the display indicates three states, depending onwhether the handset has been hooked on or off.1. Handset removed from hook,but hooked on by hook key.2. Hook off.3. No icon: Handset placed in hook, and hook on.VolumeDuring a conversation, the speaker and earpiece volume can beadjusted by means of:Manual Telephone Call SyntaxFor external calls, entering a telephone number on the handsetfollows the syntax of this example:1.

Confirmation #Making a Manual CallProvided that no internal or external calls are in progress and thatthe CU is enabled and unlocked, it is possible to make an internalcall.Furthermore, if a valid SIM card has been inserted into the SIM cardslot and the correct PIN code has been entered or the PIN code hasbeen disabled, it is also possible to make an external call.In order to be able to make a manual call, the CU must either be inidle state or inside the phone book. For a description on how toreturn to idle state, see section “About this Manual”. If the idle textdiffers from ‘Ready’ (e.g. SIM card messages) only internal calls arepossible.Now in order to make a manual call, do the following:1. Hook off.If the system is occupied, a busy tone is heard in the earpiece/speaker, and the display shows eitherordepending on whether an internal or external call is in progress.If the system is ready to make a call, a ready tone is heard in theearpiece/speaker, and the display shows:or2.

Confirm the call and start dialling by pressing:4. A calling tone is heard from the earpiece/speaker, and thedisplay shows:5. When the connection has been established, the display shows:6. When one of the communicating parties hooks on, the displayindicates that the other user should do the same by the words:Enter number0 0 0 4 5 7 0 1 3 7 0 00 _Internalcall ExternalcallCallterminated0125
6Answering a CallNOTE: When the speaker is off you can see that you are beingcalled, (the display will show “Incoming Call”) but there will beno sound in the speaker. The speaker can be toggled on and offusing:1. When the handset rings, remove it from the hook and communi-cate as on an ordinary telephone.2. Adjust the volume in the earpiece or loudspeaker by means of:3. When you want to stop communicating, or when you hear a busytone, hang up.Call TransferingA call can be transfered to another CU. The procedure depends onwhether or not the call is answered before it is transferred.Transferring AFTER AnsweringWhen you answer a call, the display shows:To transfer the call:1. Press:2. Now, key in the extension number to which the call should betransferred.3. To transfer the call, press:- or:To cancel transferring the call, press:Automatic Transferring BEFORE AnsweringA call can be transferred to another CU automatically before it isanswered.

To select “Enable” or “Disable”, use :and press:The function has now been enabled or disabled depending on yourchoice.To select to which extension number(s) incoming calls should betransferred, follow the steps described above. In step 4, however,select “Extension”, after which you can key in and confirm thewanted extension number.To specify the time in seconds (0-60) that the call should ring beforeit is transferred to the specified unit, follow the steps describedabove. In step 4, however, select “Delay”. If the delay is set to 0seconds, the call is transferred immediately; before the first handsetrings, the call is transferred to the chosen transfer destination.Handset Advanced OperationThe system features a large number of special functions. For thoseof the functions that are likely to be used the most, there are specialbuttons or shifted functions in connection with the numeric keys. Thefunctions used less often can be found in the menu system.Menu SystemThe handset contains several functions for changing the systemsettings, showing the status of certain system parameters, configura-tions, and testing the system.The menu system can always be entered from an enabled andunlocked CU which is in idle state. See section “About this Manual”on how to return to idle state.To enter the function menu system, press the following key:The function menus appear:The “Setup” menu contains all functions for changing the systemparameters, such as volume, ringing tone, user names and pass-words.The “Call log” menu contains information on each call made,including details about when the call was made, its duration, and thereceiver’s telephone number.The “System” menu contains all functions needed for the systemadministrator/super user to test and configure the system.Keying in Names and NumbersWhen keying in letters and numbers in the phone book, or inconnection with user names and passwords, you will need to knowhow many times to press each key.

To go on with the call,follow the steps described in connection with “Making a manual call”,beginning with step 4.Security Lock FunctionThe handset can be protected against unauthorized use via thesecurity lock function. This works together with the list of user namesand corresponding passwords. The security lock requires that theuser selects his user name from the list, and then keys in hispersonal password before the handset can be used for making calls.The default password for all the users on the user list is “password”,i.e. 61778562. Passwords can be edited in the Setup/Passwordmenu (the user’s own password) or in the /Setup/Users menu using (Passwords of users with a lower priority than the current user).The security lock function ensures that only users recognized by thesystem can unlock the handset and make calls through the Iridiumsystem.Answering incoming calls is not protected by the security lock.Note that from a PSTN phone (stand alone or via PBX), the securitylock is not an option.The security lock function affects all control units. That means that ifone control unit disables the lock, the lock is disabled on all controlunits connected. The same goes for enabling the lock.User ID/User Name ListEvery user specified in the system is given a priority value. Thepriority value determines what the user is allowed to do in thesystem. By default, the user list contains 6 entries with differentpriority values. The 6 default users are shown below.User ID/User Name Priority valueSUPER USER 0Captain 1Commander 4Officer 10Crew 100Passenger 200The super user has the highest priority in the system and is thereforenot restricted in any action. The super user can edit all other users. Auser can create, edit, and delete users of a lower priority; e.g. a userof priority value 4 may create, edit, and delete users of priorityvalues 10, 100, and 200.Each facility/function in the handset has a priority value. The priorityvalue of the facility/item and the user’s priority value determinewhether the user has access to the item or not.The user ID is written in the call log so it is possible to identify whohas made which calls.Disabling Security LockTo disable the security lock, the user has to be identified with apriority value of 4 or less (Commander, Captain, or SUPER USER).To disable the security lock:1. To enter the function menu, press:2. To select the “Setup” item, press:3. Find the “Lock” item using:and press:0141
114. Find the “Disable” item using :and press:5. Find the right user name using:and press:6. Key in the password, and press:The security lock function is now disabled. This means that thehandset is ready for use for everyone without any identification of theuser. To avoid misuse of the handset, the user who disables thesecurity lock is asked to set the priority value. This is done byselecting a user name from the user list and keying in the associatedpassword. That user name is then used as the default user of theunlocked system. Information about subsequent outgoing calls fromany CU will be logged under this default user name..Enabling Security LockIf the security lock function has been disabled, it can be enabled byusers with a priority value of 4 or less:1. To enter the function menu, press:2. To select the “Setup” item, press:3. Find the “Lock” item using:and press:4. To select the “Enable” item, press:5.

Therefore they cannot be set independently.For external incoming calls, resulting tones are respectively:• Deep• High• Alternating slowly• Alternating fastFor internal incoming calls (local calls), the resulting tones arerespectively:• Deep dual• High dual• Deep dual• High dualAs mentioned above, choosing a ringing tone affects both theexternal incoming ringing tone and the internal incoming (local call)ringing tone according to the following table:Choice of ringing tone External incoming calls Internal incoming callsDeep Deep Deep dualHigh High High dualAlternating slowly Alternating slowly Deep dualAlternating fast Alternating fast High dualAn internal incoming call (local call) can always be recognized bytwo equal consecutive tones (hence the term “dual” in the table)followed by a pause. The tones may be deep or high.An external incoming call can always be recognized by a singlecontinuous sound sequence (deep, high, alternating slowly oralternating fast), followed by a pause.An example: To set the external incoming ringing tone to alternatingslowly, and the internal incoming ringing tone to deep dual (remem-ber that they cannot be set independently as described above):1.
