Using the RJ-11 socket
To make a phone call:
1. Power up the RST 100.
PIN controlled access:
Your RST100 may be set-up to require a PIN and this will be indicated by the Signal
light flashing Red and a distinctive dial tone consisting of two alternating tones. If a
normal dial tone is heard, proceed to dial your desired number as described below.
If a distinctive, two-tone dial tone is heard, one of two access codes is required – the
SIM PIN or the PIN Unlock Code (PUK).
•
The SIM PIN is required if the two tones are of equal length. If so simply enter
the four digit PIN and await a change of tone (up to ten seconds), then hang
up. If the PIN was correct the phone will register and you may proceed with
normal use as described below.
•
The PUK is required if the PIN has been incorrectly entered three times and is
indicated when the high tone is longer than the low tone. Enter the PUK code,
await a change of tone (up to ten seconds) and hang up. If the PUK was
correct the phone will register and you may proceed with normal use as
described below. The SIM card will be permanently disabled if an incorrect
PUK is entered 10 times in a row. Note that in future the PIN to be entered is
now that of the USER PIN programmed for the log port of the RST100. The
original PIN on the SIM has been erased by entry of the PUK
Once powered up, the RST 100 attempts to register with the Iridium network. The
signal level LED uses colour to indicate how strong the Iridium signal is at your
location.

In most cases the indicator will show green after a short period of approximately 15
seconds – orange indicates an acceptable but marginal signal strength. If the
indicator remains red, there is a problem with the installation.
