Introduction
Your Iridium equipment is a modular system that consists of a
transceiver unit, control handset unit, antenna unit and an optional
analogue PSTN telephone/PABX.
You can make and receive voice calls on the control handset and the
analogue PSTN telephone. You can connect up to four handsets
and one analogue PSTN telephone or PBX switchboard to the
system.
The system provides intercom for internal calls between any control
handsets and between the analogue telephone and a control
handset.
Via the data port on the transceiver, the unit can be used as a data
modem for dial-up data calls, Internet access, SMS and E-mail
messaging.
Important!
For FCC RF exposure compliance, the antenna must be
installed with a minimum distance of 0.61m (2 feet) away
from all persons.
About this Manual
This manual provides instructions on how to operate a control
handset, an analogue telephone and on using the transceiver as a
data modem.
The instructions on operating the handset are divided into two parts.
The first part deals with Basic operation, which includes e.g. making
and answering calls. The second part describes the more advanced
functions of the system.
All functions of your Iridium equipment can be operated by following
the step by step procedures described in this manual. Each
procedure is an explicit sequence of key presses that has to be
carried out.
Unless otherwise specified, the description of the individual
procedures has been based on the assumption that the handset is
enabled and is displaying either “Ready” or “Ready Internal” in the
display. This state is through out the manual referred to as ready
state.
We recommend that you read the manual before using the equipment.
Iridium Satellite System
Iridium is a global satellite network for telecommunications. It
consists of 66 satellites providing world-wide coverage.
The Iridium system makes it possible for any two locations on Earth
to establish wireless global telephone contact.
You will need an Iridium subscription with an active Subscriber
Identification Module (SIM card). The SIM card holds your phone
number and the phone number will thus follow the SIM card if used
in 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, for
example Crew Calling, Pre and Post Paid subscriptions.

Handset Basic Operation
You can connect up to four handsets to this Iridium equipment.
A handset can be in one of two states: enabled or disabled.
Handset States
In each of the two states, the handset’s normal display and signalling
can be described as follows:
Disabled State
• The display is cleared and the light is off.
• The indicator lamp Power is flashing briefly every 5 seconds.
Enabled State
• In the enabled state, various information is shown on the display.
An example:
• The indicator lamp Power is on.
Handset Enabling/Disabling
To enable/disable the handset:
1. Press and hold the on/off button.
2. Wait until you hear the continuous tone signalling or see that the
indicator lamps Power, Call and Network are turned on simultane-
ously.
3. Release the on/off button.
Pin Code
Each time a valid SIM card with an enabled PIN code is inserted,
you are asked to enter your pin code:

12:05:06
0512
Key in the pin code supplied with the SIM card. If the pin code keyed
in is correct, the handset enters ready state:
If for some reason the Iridium network is not available at the time,
the display will show “Ready Internal” and you will only be able to
make internal calls between the handsets and the analogue phone.
If you did not key in the correct pin code, you will have to try again. If
you key in a wrong pin code three times in a row, the SIM card will
be blocked and you will have to enter the PUK code to unblock it.
(The PUK code is supplied with the SIM card). See section “SIM
Card Handling” under “Handset Advanced Operation” for further
details.
Unlocking Handset
If the handset is locked, you have to unlock it before it can be used.
To unlock the handset:
1. Press:
The display shows a list of user names. Your user name (I.e. the
current value of the associated priority level) determines which
facilities you have access to. Furthermore, the user name that is
used for unlocking the handset is the name stored in the call log
each time an external call is made.

the handset is enabled and unlocked, it is possible to make an
internal call.
Furthermore, if a valid SIM card has been inserted into the SIM card
slot and the correct PIN code has been entered or the PIN code has
been disabled, it is also possible to make an external call.
In order to be able to make a manual call, the handset must either be
in ready state or inside the phone book. For a description on how to
return to ready state, see section “About this Manual”. If the idle text
differs from ‘Ready’ (e.g. SIM card messages) only internal calls are
possible.

Security Lock Function
The handset can be protected against unauthorized use via the
security lock function. This works together with the list of user names
and corresponding passwords. The security lock requires that the
user selects his user name from the list, and then keys in his
personal 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 the
system can unlock the handset and make calls through the Iridium
system.
Answering incoming calls is not protected by the security lock.
Note that from a PSTN phone (stand alone or via PABX), the
security lock is not an option.
The security lock function affects all control units. That means that if
one control unit disables the lock, the lock is disabled on all control
units connected. The same goes for enabling the lock.
User ID/User Name List
Every user specified in the system is given a priority value. The
priority value determines what the user is allowed to do in the
system. By default, the user list contains 6 entries with different
priority values. The 6 default users are shown below.
User ID/User Name Priority value
SUPER USER 0
Captain 1
Commander 4
Officer 10
Crew 100
Passenger 200
The SUPERUSER has the highest priority in the system and is
therefore not restricted in any action. The SUPERUSER can edit all
other users. A user can create, edit, and delete users of a lower
priority; e.g. a user of priority value 4 may create, edit, and delete
users of priority values 10, 100, and 200.
Each item in the handset menu has a priority value. The priority
value of the item and the user’s priority value determine
whether the user has access to the item or not. The blocked items
are indicated by a star * in front of the item.
The user ID is written in the call log and it is thus possible to identify
who has made which calls.
Enabling Security Lock
If the security lock function has been disabled, it can be enabled by
users 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. Find a user name of priority level 4 or less, using:
and press:
6. Enter the password using the numeric keys, and press:
The handset from which the system lock was enabled, is not actually
locked before an explicit lock is issued via pressing:
0512
11
0512
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 automatically
locked if they are in ready state (no call in progress and not inside
the menu system or phone book). If one of these control units is not
in ready state, it is automatically locked when returning to ready
state.
Disabling Security Lock
To disable the security lock, the user has to be identified with a
priority 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 the
handset is ready for use for everyone without any identification of the
user. To avoid misuse of the handset, the user who disables the
security lock is asked to set the priority value. This is done by
selecting a user name from the user list and keying in the associated
password. That user name is then used as the default user of the
unlocked system. Information about subsequent outgoing calls from
any handset will be logged under this default user name.
Note:
If the security lock is used for keeping track of the crew calls, each
crew member must unlock the handset before use. Do not forget to
lock the handset after use. The handsets are not locked automatically.

equipment has detected that a SIM card has been inserted into the
SIM card slot. For some reason, however, the Iridium equipment
cannot communicate with the SIM card.
•SIM card validation: This message indicates that a valid SIM
card has been inserted into the SIM card slot, and that the pin code
just entered is being validated by the Iridium system.
Note: In case of SIM card problems you must contact your Iridium
Service Partner for help.
Enabling and Disabling PIN Codes
Each SIM card has an associated PIN code. In order to prevent
unauthorized use of SIM cards, your Iridium equipment is capable of
enabling and disabling the associated PIN codes.
When the PIN code from a given SIM card is enabled, the user must
enter the current value of this PIN code each time the SIM card is re-
entered into the SIM card holder in the transceiver. When the PIN
code for a given SIM card is disabled, the SIM card can be used for

Ringing Tone
When configuring each handset, the user can choose among a
number of different ringing tones.
The procedure is to choose one of the following 4 ringing tones:
• Deep
• High
• Alternating slowly
• Alternating fast
The ringing tone for internal incoming calls as well as the ringing
tone for external incoming calls are both affected by this single
choice. Therefore they cannot be set independently.
For external incoming calls, resulting tones are respectively:
• Deep
• High
• Alternating slowly
• Alternating fast
For internal incoming calls (local calls), the resulting tones are
respectively:
• Deep dual
• High dual
• Deep dual
• High dual
As mentioned above, choosing a ringing tone affects both the
external incoming ringing tone and the internal incoming (local call)
ringing tone according to the following table:
Choice of ringing tone External incoming calls Internal incoming calls
Deep Deep Deep dual
High High High dual
Alternating slowly Alternating slowly Deep dual
Alternating fast Alternating fast High dual
An internal incoming call (local call) can always be recognized by
two equal consecutive tones (hence the term “dual” in the table)
followed by a pause. The tones may be deep or high.
An external incoming call can always be recognized by a single
continuous sound sequence (deep, high, alternating slowly or
alternating fast), followed by a pause.
An example: To set the external incoming ringing tone to alternating
slowly, and the internal incoming ringing tone to deep dual (remem-
ber that they cannot be set independently as described above):
1. To enter the function menu, press:
2. To select the “Setup” item, press:
3. Find the “Ring tone” item using and press:

control unit and a PSTN telephone, you may configure the answering
of external incoming calls in a number of different ways. The
available choices are:
•One CU: Choosing this option, you must specify the extension of
the control unit to which you want external incoming calls to be
directed automatically.
•PSTN: If there is a PSTN telephone connected to your Iridium
equipment, selecting this option will direct external incoming calls to
your PSTN telephone.
•All: Choosing this option will make all control units and the
PSTN telephone (if any) ring when your Iridium equipment receives
an external incoming call. Any of these units may be used for
answering the call.

Call Forwarding
NOTE: This feature is a supplementary service available from
the Iridium network. Thrane & Thrane has no influence
on the availability and cannot guarantee that the service
is available. Please check the availability with your
Iridium Service Partner.
The Iridium network offers the possibility of forwarding incoming calls
to another phone number. This facility can be configured from your
Iridium equipment. The call forwarding can be divided into the
following two categories:
•Forward all calls: All external incoming calls will immediately be
forwarded to the number you specify when you activate this
category.
•Forward on not reachable: When your Iridium equipment has
been turned off or cannot for some reason be contacted by the
network or when the line of your Iridium equipment is occupied,
either by an internal or an external call, external incoming calls will
be forwarded to the number you specify when you activate this
category.
Note: By default, the above two categories of calls will all be
forwarded to your personal mailbox. When you activate a category,
the calls in this category will be forwarded to the number that you
specify and no longer to your personal mailbox.
In the following, the procedures for activating, restoring and review-
ing settings for the above two categories are described. As usual,
when manually dialling a number to call, this must be done from
ready state.

Call Barring
NOTE: This feature is a supplementary service available from
the Iridium network. Thrane & Thrane has no influence
on the availability and cannot guarantee that the service
is available. Please check the availability with your
Iridium Service Partner.
Call barring allows you to bar either all external incoming or all
external outgoing calls. If you bar external incoming calls, your
Iridium equipment will not receive external incoming calls. If you bar
external outgoing calls, nobody will be able to place external
outgoing calls from your Iridium equipment.
Note: External incoming calls will not be sent to your personal
mailbox if call barring of external incoming calls is active.

Voice Mail
NOTE: This feature is a supplementary service available from
the Iridium network. Thrane & Thrane has no influence
on the availability and cannot guarantee that the service
is available. Please check the availability with your
Iridium Service Partner.
Voice mail allows callers to leave a voice message in your personal
mailbox. As described in section “Call Forwarding”, by default
external incoming calls are forwarded to your personal mailbox if the
call is not answered, if your equipment is switched off, if your Iridium
system is occupied by an internal or external call or cannot, for some
reason, be contacted by the Iridium network. Therefore these calls
will be forwarded to your personal mailbox unless you set a new
telephone number to transfer to.
You may record a personal greeting which the callers will hear when
they are forwarded to your mailbox. After hearing your personal
greeting, callers can leave a voice mail message which is stored in
your mailbox.
Your personal mailbox has a lot of features which can be configured
by you. The caller also has a number of facilities to choose between
when forwarded to your mailbox. See the “Iridium Services User
Guide” that comes together with your Iridium equipment.
To call your voice mailbox you shall call 00881662990000 associated
with your subscription i.e. SIM card number.
Your access code is for default the last 7 digits of your SIM card
number.
