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 Specific 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 certified 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 worn
position because in this position the phone can not properly receive and transmit the satellite signal and the operation is not practicable
The 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. Additional SAR information may be provided under product information at
www.apsat.co.kr
01 Before you start

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 reflected 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 reflects 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.
15
02 Getting started
HPA (High-Penetration Alerting)
The Thuraya system features a ‘High-Penetration Alerting’ capability that allows you to be notified 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.

Options during a call
You cannot receive an incoming call if the SAT signal in your
Thuraya XT is not sufficient. In this situation, a message box with
“SAT call find improved reception” and a special ringtone will be
heard and signal indicator on the left top of the screen will be
changed from HPA to SAT signal.
Your Thuraya XT offers a number of options which are only
available during a call. You cannot use all of these features
at all times, because they vary depending on the individual call
situation.
You cannot receive calls in High-Penetration
Alerting mode.
Please move to a place of better SAT signal
to accept the call.
To receive calls in HPA mode:
1. Move to a place with an improved signal.
2. Fully extend the antenna of your Thuraya XT.
3. As soon as the signal strength is strong enough the HPA
warnings disappear from the display.
Now you can accept the call as usual by using

Handling more than one call simultaneously
(Conference calls)
Incoming call:
When Party1 is receiving a call from Party3, while talking with Party2,
Party1 can ‘accept; or ‘reject’ the call from Party3. If the call is rejected,
the conversation between Party1 and Party2 is not affected. If the call is
accepted, Party2 is put on hold and Party1 is connected to the call from
Party3. Using the option menu, Party1 can swap over Party2 and Party3,
or operate a multi-party call up to 6 users including Party1.
Outgoing call:
If Party1 wants to make a call to Party3, while talking with Party2,
using the option menu puts Party2 on hold and enters Party3’s phone
number.
To include Party2 in the conversation with Party3, select Multiparty call
from the option menu. Party2 and Party3 can be swapped over. Up to
6 users including Party1 can have a conversation simultaneously.
Connect a private call:
You can isolate a party from the multiparty call and talk
exclusively with this ‘private call’. The other parties of the
conference will be put on hold and will not hear what you are
speaking with the private party. You can only have up to two
active calls at one time. Therefore you can select Private only if
your second line is not busy with another call.

02
End one call:
You can selectively end only one of the connections during a
multiparty call.
03
End all calls at once:
Ending all calls in one step terminates the multiparty call.
All parties will be disconnected from each other and they will hear
the tone for ‘line busy’.
Main Menu:
During a call you can use most of the functions of the Main menu
such as sending DTMF signals, reading/writing SMS.
However, some functions may not be available.
