W...
and thank you for choosing the ACeS OG698 satellite/cellular phone, the revolutionary
mobile phone that helps you keep in touch with the rest of the world.
The ACeS OG698
handheld satellite/cellular phone, hereafter throughout this
manual referred to as “your phone”, literally puts the world at your fingertips.
Your phone is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand or slip into a shirt
pocket, yet the technology built into the phone allows you to receive and send
phone calls from remote areas of the world where there are no telephone sys-
tems or cellular transmitters. When you make a call, your phone transmits a
signal to a satellite, which then beams the signal back to your service provider
who forwards the signal to the number you dialed.
Your phone operates in ACeS or GSM mode, allowing you to place satellite calls
from remote areas, then when you return to an area with reliable cellular ser-
vice it allows you to switch over to the less expensive cellular mode.
Your phone is designed to roam the remote areas of the world with you,
whether you are travelling on international business, for pleasure, or for an
emergency. Your phone will be a valuable communication tool whether you
are a vacationer on holiday, a world business traveller, or a member of a geo-
logical survey, disaster relief, or search and rescue team. Whether you are a sci-
entist, an explorer, or a retired person living out your dream of travelling
around the world, you are no longer limited by ordinary telecommunication
systems which may be inconvenient or out of reach.
Your phone sets a new standard for others to follow while meeting the highest
standards for durability, service and sound. It comes packed with features that
help you stay in touch with the world from anywhere in the world.
These features include:
◗
Satellite mode for areas where cellular service is not available
◗
Cellular service for areas where it is available
◗
Voice, data and fax calls
◗
A phone book where you can store names and phone numbers
◗
An alarm clock, calendar, and calculator
This guide introduces you to your phone and shows you how to get the most
out of it. Before you start, read “Safe and Efficient Use” on page 77.
Welcome...

Version P1C
Operators & Subscriptions
Before you can use your phone you must obtain a subscription to a network.
The services included in your subscription depend on your choice of operator
and/or subscription. Therefore, some of the services and functions described in
this manual may not be accessible to you. For a complete list of the services
included in your subscription, please contact your network operator.
GSM 900/ACeS
Your phone operates in either GSM 900 or ACeS (Satellite) mode.
SIM Card
You will receive a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card with your subscrip-
tion. The SIM card must be a dual mode SIM card in order for your phone to
operate in both GSM and Satellite modes.
The SIM card contains a computer chip that keeps track of your phone num-
ber, the services you ordered from your network operator and your Phone Book
information, among other things.
Your PIN
Your operator will provide you with a security code or Personal Identity Num-
ber (PIN) when you receive your SIM card. This number allows you to lock
your SIM card. See “The SIM Card Lock” on page 71.
Store your PIN in a safe place. It is your protection against unauthorized use of
your phone. Do not write it on your phone or place it where someone might
see it.
The first time you turn on your phone you are prompted to enter your PIN (if
the PIN is activated.) Your PIN may also be required when you change settings
in your phone. Some services require a second PIN, the PIN2.
Enter your PIN carefully. If you enter your PIN incorrectly three times in suc-
cession, the SIM card will be blocked. If this happens you can unlock it by
using a Personal Unblocking Key (PUK) code. You must contact your operator
to obtain this code. See “Unblocking the SIM Card” on page 71
For information on changing your PIN, see “Changing the PIN Code” on
page 72.

Before you can use your phone for the first time you must install the SIM card
if it is not already installed, charge the battery, install the battery, and set
default parameters for the phone and networks.
The SIM Card
When you register as a subscriber with a network service, you receive a SIM
card. The SIM card stores information about your phone number and your
subscription, among other things.
If you purchased your phone from your service provider the SIM card may
already be installed. If not, you must install it before you can use your phone.
The SIM card that comes with your subscription is about the
size of a postage stamp. Many services provide a credit card
size card with postage stamp size SIM card that you punch
out.
Note!
If you try to use a SIM card that is not a 3-volt card,
the message “Insert card” will display and you may only be
able to make emergency calls on your phone.

When you have installed the SIM card, charged the battery, attached the
antenna, and completed the initial setup as explained in “Initial Phone Set-
tings” on page 12, you are ready to use your phone. A network search begins
as soon as you turn on your phone. When a network is found, the phone beeps
three times.
The indicator light on top of the phone flashes green once every second and
your network operator’s name (in most cases abbreviated) is shown in the dis-
play. If the charger is connected, the indicator displays a steady green light
instead of a flashing green light.
(If this is the first time you have used your phone, see “Set Satellite Search
Preferences” on page 15, and “Set GSM Search Preferences” on page 16.)
Position the Antenna
You will need to position the antenna in order to receive a full satellite signal.
Grasp the antenna and flip it upward until it clicks into one of the three
upward positions shown in the figure below.
Important! You may be able to receive a network signal without raising the
antenna. However, the antenna should be in one of the three upward positions
shown above for your phone to work most efficiently.
For more information on positioning the antenna properly see “Point
Antenna” on page 17, and “Satellite Indicators” on page 19.
Point Antenna
If you activated the Antenna Pointing feature, you can use it to assist you in
locating a full-strength satellite signal. See “Set Satellite Antenna Pointing” on
page 14.

Point Antenna to Receive Call
◗ If a satellite network is in range but signal
reception is not strong enough for you to receive a
call, you can only receive notification of a pend-
ing call.
◗ If the Antenna Pointing is set to ON, you will
hear the satellite assist signal consisting of differ-
ent pitches (depending on the signal strength)
when receiving notification of a pending call. The
signal will continue until time out, a sufficiently
strong satellite signal is acquired, or until you
press CLR to turn it off.
◗ If set to OFF, instead of the signal described
above, the call pending notification signal of three
short tones is repeated every 5 seconds until time
out or your phone finds a signal that is sufficiently
strong enough for your phone to respond to it
Move the phone and antenna to different positions
until the Position Ant message disappears.
If the phone receives a full service signal before
the time-out, Connecting displays, the phone
rings, and you can answer the call.
Point Antenna to Make Call
If you are receiving a satellite signal, but it is not
strong enough to make a call (a half circle is dis-
played), Position Ant message displays when
you initiate a call. The call will be pending until a
sufficiently strong signal is received.
If the Antenna Pointing is set to ON, and you
press YES again, the Antenna Pointing feature
will be activated to help you place the call. Reposi-
tion the phone until you hear a beep and Calling
displays.
Point Antenna At End of Search
If a satellite network is found but the signal is not
sufficiently strong enough for the phone to regis-
ter with it. The phone will display the “Position
antenna” message and the empty circle service
indicator.
The Antenna Pointing feature can help you
register with a satellite network signal.

Satellite Calls without a Full-Strength Signal
You can not make or receive a satellite call if your phone does not lock onto a
signal strong enough to establish full service. If you are receiving a signal but
it is not strong enough to make or receive calls (a half circle is displayed), you
can do the following:
◗ Initiate a call. Position Ant. will display. The
call is pending for a short time or until you obtain
full service. The call is placed automatically if full
service is established before the time expires. See
“Point Antenna to Make Call” on page 18.
◗ If you make a call and full service cannot be
established Full service unavailable dis-
plays and the phone returns to standby. You must
reposition the antenna until full service is estab-
lished. See “Point Antenna to Make Call” on
page 18 for more information.
◗ Receive notification of pending calls. However, you can not receive the com-
plete call or reply to it until you establish full satellite service. See “Point
Antenna” on page 17.
Satellite or GSM International Calls
When you make a call to any country different from the one in which you have
your subscription, whether you are in your home country or in a foreign coun-
try, you must use the international format: country code, national destination
code (AREA), and phone number.
To make an international call:
1 Press and hold the 0 key until the interna-
tional character + is displayed or enter the prefix
2 Enter the country code, the area code (without
the leading zero) and the phone number and
press YES, or recall the number from the phone
book
When you are roaming, your phone will automatically search for a valid net-
work. See “Roaming” on page 28.
When you store non-home country numbers in your phone book, be sure to
store them in international formats, + (plus sign), country code, national des-
tination code (area code), then the phone number.
Important! All foreign phone numbers should be dialled as international
numbers no matter what country you are in, either by pressing and holding
down the 0 to generate the international prefix: (+) for the country you are in,
or by entering the prefix using the keypad. This applies to both Satellite and
GSM mode. These numbers should also be stored in international format in
your phone book.
Note! If you dial the international prefix instead of generating the interna-
tional prefix by holding down the + key, the call will go to the home network
on your SIM card. This may not be the home network of the person you are

Handsfree Calling
You can answer a call and talk to the caller without holding your phone if you
use one of the handsfree options. You can change the default settings for the
handsfree related functions so that they suit your own requirements.
Handsfree Type 1
Handsfree Type 1 lets you talk in semi-duplex mode. In this case, you cannot
speak at the same time the one you are talking to is speaking.
Use this alternative only if the Type 2 does not work properly (which might be
the case in extremely noisy environments).
Handsfree Type 2
This is the standard setting. Handsfree Type 2 lets you talk in full duplex mode.
This considerably increases the speech quality, as you do not have to wait until
your turn to speak.
For Type 2 handsfree to work properly, your phone uses filters that adapt to the
sound environment around the handsfree equipment. The adaptation might
take a few calls, and during this learning phase, the person called might hear a
voice echo. However, this echo will disappear after a few calls.
Should the echo persist for a prolonged period, try the Type 1 handsfree
instead.
To Set the Handsfree Type:
1 Select SETTINGS/Handsfree
2 If Type 1 is displayed press YES to toggle the
selection to Type 2. If Type 2 is displayed press
YES to toggle the selection to Type 1.
3 Press YES to accept the setting displayed
Select Answer Mode
This menu is available only in GSM mode. The submenu Answering mode
includes two functions: Any key and Auto, which are useful when the phone is
used with handsfree equipment.
The Any Key Function
If the phone is used with handsfree equipment and this function is turned on,
you can answer an incoming call by pressing any key except the NO key.
The Auto Function
If the phone is used with handsfree equipment in automatic answering mode,
an incoming call is automatically answered after one ring signal.

Other Handsfree Related Settings
Apart from the above mentioned settings, you can change the following set-
tings related to handsfree calling:
◗Ring level
◗Ear volume
◗Ring type
◗Key lock
◗Back light
You can specify different settings for the two types of handsfree operation.
Changing one will not affect the other.
To change a setting:
1 Connect the phone to the handsfree equipment
2 Change the setting according to the instructions in “Personalize Your
Phone” on page 29, or “The Key Lock” on page 74 (the Keylock setting).
The Type 2 Ear volume setting has eight levels while Type 1 has only five. The
four highest levels in Type 2 increases the clarity of speech, rather than the vol-
ume itself.
Area Information
The Short Message Service (SMS) is a personal service with messages specifi-
cally and exclusively directed to you. The Area Information is another type of
text message which is sent to all subscribers in a certain cell of a network at the

The SMS allows you to send and receive text messages consisting of up to 160
characters.
Text messages can be received when the phone is in standby mode, when the
recipient is engaged in a call or when incoming calls are forwarded to another
phone number. If the recipient’s phone is turned off when a message is sent, a
notifying message is displayed shortly after the phone is turned on.
Apart from sending standard messages to phones, your phone can fax mes-
sages (group 3 and 4), and send e-mails via SMS.
SMS is available in GSM mode only. You can, however, read, compose and save
messages in Satellite mode. You can retrieve and send them when you return
to GSM mode.
Two Memories
Your phone has two memories where text messages are stored: Message mem-
ory and SIM card memory.
The Messages Memory
If you do not want to read an incoming message at once, it is automatically
stored in the Messages memory. If there are any unread incoming messages in
the messages memory, a letter icon (icon) is displayed.
The Messages memory can hold up to 10 messages. When all memory posi-
tions are occupied, the oldest read message will be overwritten when a new
message is received.
If the Messages memory becomes full with unread messages, new messages
will automatically be stored in the SIM card memory. If the SIM card memory
becomes full, the letter icon starts blinking.
Messages will remain in the Messages memory until you erase them, until you
insert a different SIM card, or until read messages are overwritten by new mes-
sages. (See “Erasing a Phone Number” on page 62.)
The SIM Card Memory
If you receive an important message and want to make sure it is not erased
from the messages memory, you can store it on your SIM card. Messages that
are saved in the SIM card memory will remain there until you erase them, even
if you transfer your SIM card to another phone.
Setting the Phone for Text Messaging
In order to reply to received messages you will need the phone number to your
network. If it cannot be retrieved from your SIM card, you must specify the
number yourself.

Embedded Numbers in SMS
When sending a message to another wireless phone, or when asking someone
to send a message to your phone, follow the guidelines listed below to ensure
that the phone retrieves the entire number from the message, displays it, and
allows the phone user to dial the number by pressing YES.
Note! The phone is only capable of receiving numbers embedded in a message
if the network operator has activated the service.
A phone number enclosed within double quotation marks has the highest
probability of being recognized (e.g. “919-555-1212”).
Other ways to write the phone number within messages are:
◗ (919) 555-1212
◗ 919-555-1212
◗ 012-123 45 67
◗ 12 34 56
◗ (02) 11 22 33
Include the international dialing code, area code, and area prefix as part of the
number to help in the call back process. The receiver of the message has the
option of editing a number before calling back.
Note! If the number embedded in the SMS matches a phone book entry, a
name will be associated with it.

Since its introduction in the mid 1980s the mobile phone is one of the most
exciting and innovative products ever developed. Your phone can help you to
stay in touch with your office, your home, emergency services and others.
Efficient Phone Operation
To receive optimum performance with minimum power consumption hold the
phone as you would any other telephone. While speaking directly into the
mouthpiece, angle the antenna in a direction up and over your shoulder.
Do not hold the antenna when the phone is in use. Holding the antenna affects
call quality, may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than
needed and shorten talk and standby times.
Safe Phone Operation
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the areas
where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using your phone while driving,
please:
◗ Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed dial and
redial.
◗ When available, use a handsfree device.
◗ Position your wireless phone within easy reach
◗ Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions or situations
◗ Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving
◗ Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not
moving or before pulling into traffic
◗ Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distract-
ing
◗ Use your wireless phone to call for help
◗ Use you wireless phone to help others in emergencies
◗ Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency assistance
number when necessary
◗ Give full attention to driving
◗ Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving con-
ditions so require
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio transmitter
and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF)
signals.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted
exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless phones. Those
guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both US
and international standards bodies:
◗ ANSI C95.1 (1992)*
◗ NCRP Report 86 (1986)*
◗ ICNIRP (1996)*
Safe and Efficient Use
ACeS OG698 Phone User’s Guide
Page 78 Note: Some features and menus are operator dependent Version P1C
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the
relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and
physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry
reviewed the available data to develop the ANSI Standards (C95.1).
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those stan-
dards).
* American National Standards Institute: National Council on Radiation Pro-
tection and Measurements; International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radia-
tion Protection.
Antenna
◗ Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may violate
FCC regulations.
◗ Hold the phone as you would any other telephone, with the antenna
pointed up and over your shoulder.
◗ Do not hold the antenna when the phone is in use. Holding the antenna
affects call quality, may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level
than needed and shortens talk and standby times.
Caution! The detached antenna should be handled with care. It has a sharp
metallic connector that could scratch, cut or puncture something or someone.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment, such as that in hospitals and automobiles,
is shielded from RF energy. However, certain electronic equipment may not be
shielded against RF signals from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separation of six (6”) inches be maintained between a handheld wireless
phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
◗ Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker
when the phone is turned ON
◗ Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket
◗ Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference
If you suspect that interference is taking place, turn your phone OFF immedi-
ately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the
event of such interferences, you may want to consult your service provider (or
call the customer service line to discuss alternatives).
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your
device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy.
Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.

Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when posted signs instruct you
to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could
be sensitive to external signals.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic
systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative
regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any
equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Vehicles Equipped With Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. Do Not place installed or portable wireless
equipment in the area over the airbag or in the air bag deployment area. If
wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious
injury could result.
Additional Tips
◗ Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted signs instruct you to do
so
◗ Aircraft
Regulations in most nations prohibit using your phone while in the air.
Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.
◗ Children
Do not allow children to play with your phone since they could hurt them-
selves or others, or accidentally damage the phone. Your phone may con-
tain parts that can be detached, causing a child to choke or physically
injure himself.
◗ Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operation, turn your phone OFF when in
a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all
signs and instructions.
◗ Potentially explosive atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF when you are in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could
cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmospheres are usually clearly marked.
They include fuelling areas such as gasoline stations; boats; fuel or chemi-
cal facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or
butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, and any other
area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
