101 Before you start Certication information (SAR) THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVESYour 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. This mobile phone can not be used in a body wornposition because in this position the phone can not properly receive and transmit the satellite signal and the operation is not practicableThe body-worn operation is restricted in use. 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.

1502 Getting startedIntroductionYour 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.
010203041602 Getting startedHPA (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.
1702 Getting startedConnect 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.
