ivIntroductionYour Iridium equipment is a modular system that consists of atransceiver unit, control handset unit, antenna unit and an optionalanalogue PSTN telephone/PABX.You can make and receive voice calls on the control handset and theanalogue PSTN telephone. You can connect up to four handsetsand one analogue PSTN telephone or PBX switchboard to thesystem.The system provides intercom for internal calls between any controlhandsets and between the analogue telephone and a controlhandset.Via the data port on the transceiver, the unit can be used as a datamodem for dial-up data calls, Internet access, SMS and E-mailmessaging.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, an analogue telephone and on using the transceiver as adata modem.The instructions on operating the handset are divided into two parts.The first part deals with Basic operation, which includes e.g. makingand answering calls. The second part describes the more advancedfunctions of the system.All functions of your Iridium equipment can be operated by followingthe step by step procedures described in this manual. Eachprocedure is an explicit sequence of key presses that has to becarried out.Unless otherwise specified, the description of the individualprocedures has been based on the assumption that the handset isenabled and is displaying either “Ready” or “Ready Internal” in thedisplay. This state is through out the manual referred to as readystate.We recommend that you read the manual before using the equipment.Iridium Satellite SystemIridium is a global satellite network for telecommunications. 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.You will need an Iridium subscription with an active SubscriberIdentification Module (SIM card). The SIM card holds your phonenumber and the phone number will thus follow the SIM card if usedin another Iridium equipment.You can buy a subscription from one of the Iridium Service Partners.The Iridium Service Partners can be found on www.iridium.com .Different services are available from the service partners, forexample Crew Calling, Pre and Post Paid subscriptions.Please noteAny responsibility or liability for loss or damage in connection withthe use of this product and the accompanying documentation isdisclaimed.

10Security 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/Password menu(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 PABX), thesecurity lock 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 SUPERUSER has the highest priority in the system and istherefore not restricted in any action. The SUPERUSER can edit allother users. A user can create, edit, and delete users of a lowerpriority; e.g. a user of priority value 4 may create, edit, and deleteusers of priority values 10, 100, and 200.Each item in the handset menu has a priority value. The priorityvalue of the item and the user’s priority value determinewhether the user has access to the item or not. The blocked itemsare indicated by a star * in front of the item.The user ID is written in the call log and it is thus possible to identifywho has made which calls.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.

110512 and confirming by This action can only be carried out if the handset is in ready state.See section “About this Manual” on how to return to ready state.When the lock is enabled, all other control units are automaticallylocked if they are in ready state (no call in progress and not insidethe menu system or phone book). If one of these control units is notin ready state, it is automatically locked when returning to readystate.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:4. 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 handset will be logged under this default user name.Note:If the security lock is used for keeping track of the crew calls, eachcrew member must unlock the handset before use. Do not forget tolock the handset after use. The handsets are not locked automatically.PasswordA user may change his password at any time. To do so:1. To enter the function menu, press2.
