1.0 Your New SatPaq Congratulations. You have purchased a very small, wireless communicator to enhance the operation of your smartphone from anywhere. Your SatPaq communicates to satellite 23,000 miles away. The round-trip signal from your SatPaq to the satellite to our ground station, back to the satellite and then to the SatPaq is about 100,000 miles. This is half the distance from the earth to the moon. And we do this with the same transmit power as your phone. We have designed the SatPaq to be simple and convenient. Just attach to the phone with the gripper, complete the BlueTooth pairing and you can now text from anywhere. We call this Go Anywhere Messaging. Figure 1 - The SatPaq 2.0 Set-up
SpaceLinq – the application a) Load the SpaceLinq app from the Apple or Google app stores. b) Run the SpaceLinq App. c) Pair your SatPaq to the app. Should there be multiple SatPaqs in the region, the SatPaq connects to the SatPaq with the strongest signal. The Gripper a) Open the gripper handles of your SatPaq and attach it to your phone. It should be attached at around one half of an inch (or so) down from the top of phone. Figure 2 - The Gripper
Figure 3 - Attached SatPaq 3.0 SpaceLinq Operation Your initial screen is shown In Figure 4. Here, we provide some special functions including: a) The Wizard of Eyes - Ask any question that you would like of our highly trained Wizards standing by at the LightHouse for the Blind in Seattle. Each question to the Wizard will cost you two dollars. b) SpaceLinq 911 - For emergencies, call on our 24/7 response center in Houston, Texas. They will immediately connect you with the first responders close to you. [$25 per call] c) SpaceLinq Weather - Get the local forecast for where you are. Regular [$0.60] message fee.
Figure 4 If you just want to send a text message, press the pen and paper icon on top. This brings you to a conventional text message screen shown in Figure 5. Type in your message and press Send/Receive.
Figure 5 You will now see the pointing app screen. See Figure 6. Turn your body until the satellite icons shows up inside the target circle. Move the SatPaq around for maximum signal strength and your message will go through.
