Using your GPS location information
As well as locating your terminal’s position for
the satellite, you can also view your GPS location
and send it as a text message or email.
Viewing your GPS location information
Select Menu > GPS position > Options > View
location information to view the date and time of
when your last GPS fix was taken and your latitude
and longitude at that time. Your exact location is
indicated with a white dot on the world map.
Displaying GPS in metric or imperial measures
Select Menu > GPS position. The Valid GPS fix
screen appears. Select Options > Set unit and make
your selection. The default setting is metric units.
Sending your GPS location
Select Menu > GPS position and select Options
> Send GPS location. The elapsed time since the
last GPS fix was obtained is displayed and you
are presented with two options. Select Send to
use the stored value or New to acquire a new
GPS fix. Press the red key to cancel. Make your
decision on the basis of any significant distance
travelled since the stored GPS fix was obtained.
Note that requesting a new fix will temporarily
delay the sending of your location.
Prepay services
If you have a prepay subscription, your service
provider will have informed you of the services
available to you. Your terminal also enables you
to make a balance enquiry and redeem prepay
vouchers for Inmarsat’s prepay service, free
of charge. Select Menu > Settings > Prepay,
then select either Balance enquiry or Redeem
voucher and follow the on-screen instructions.
Making a balance enquiry
From the main screen enter your balance
enquiry code, *106# and press the green key.
Your current balance and expiry date will be
shown on the screen.
Redeeming a prepay voucher
From the main screen enter the top-up code,
*101*VoucherNumber#, eg.
*101*1234567890123456# and press the green
key. Your new balance and expiry date will be
shown on the screen.
Due to licensing issues, some prepay services,
including making mobile-originated (MO) calls/
texts, are not currently available from US territories
or possessions. This situation may change. Contact
your service provider for more information.
When the GPS fix to be used has been acquired,
select Text message or Email message. Only
editing of the recipient field is permitted. Enter the
destination number or email address directly into
the To: field, or choose Options > Add recipient
to select an existing entry from Contacts. You are
presented with the list of Phonebook contacts.
Use the left and right navigation keys to select SIM
contacts or Groups.
Obtaining a GPS fix manually
On rare occasions, your Terminal may continue to
show the GPS fix required icon, which means that
a new GPS fix is needed in order for your Terminal
to connect to the network. If this occurs, select
Menu > GPS position. The new GPS fix is displayed.
When this screen is open, your Terminal will
attempt to refresh the GPS fix every 30 seconds.
National GPS policies
Some national GPS policies do not allow users
to access their GPS information in particular
locations. Your Terminal continues to access
the GPS satellites as usual, so its performance
is unaffected. However, your Terminal will not
display its GPS location. For more information,
please contact your service provider.
