and thank you for choosing the ACeS OG698 satellite/cellular phone, the revolutionary
mobile phone that helps you keep in touch with the rest of the world.
The ACeS OG698
handheld satellite/cellular phone, hereafter throughout this
manual referred to as “your phone”, literally puts the world at your fingertips.
Your phone is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand or slip into a shirt
pocket, yet the technology built into the phone allows you to receive and send
phone calls from remote areas of the world where there are no telephone sys-
tems or cellular transmitters. When you make a call, your phone transmits a
signal to a satellite, which then beams the signal back to your service provider
who forwards the signal to the number you dialed.
Your phone operates in ACeS or GSM mode, allowing you to place satellite calls
from remote areas, then when you return to an area with reliable cellular ser-
vice it allows you to switch over to the less expensive cellular mode.
Your phone is designed to roam the remote areas of the world with you,
whether you are travelling on international business, for pleasure, or for an
emergency. Your phone will be a valuable communication tool whether you
are a vacationer on holiday, a world business traveller, or a member of a geo-
logical survey, disaster relief, or search and rescue team. Whether you are a sci-
entist, an explorer, or a retired person living out your dream of travelling
around the world, you are no longer limited by ordinary telecommunication
systems which may be inconvenient or out of reach.
Your phone sets a new standard for others to follow while meeting the highest
standards for durability, service and sound. It comes packed with features that
help you stay in touch with the world from anywhere in the world.
These features include:
◗
Satellite mode for areas where cellular service is not available
◗
Cellular service for areas where it is available
◗
Voice, data and fax calls
◗
A phone book where you can store names and phone numbers
◗
An alarm clock, calendar, and calculator
This guide introduces you to your phone and shows you how to get the most
out of it. Before you start, read “Safe and Efficient Use” on page 77.
