1. 

Enable the Iridium Extreme handset speakerphone function 

after the call is connected. (Refer to the Iridium Extreme User

2. 

Connect the Iridium Extreme earpiece to the Extreme 

handset. The connection for the Iridium Extreme earpiece is

sure that the antenna is connected correctly and is 

receiving a signal.

check the GPS fix.

the cable loom, either the Iridium AC/DC adaptor, 

or the Iridium car cigarette lighter adaptor. Power 

can also be connected via USB to the USB port on 

the bottom of the LiteDOCK.

2.  The green status LED will turn on to indicate it has 

power.

3.  When the Iridium Extreme handset is docked it will 

automatically start charging.
