Installing and releasing your Iridium satellite phone
NOTE!
The Iridium 9555 phone has an antenna socket on the back near the top. The handset is delivered with
a rubber bung in this socket. It is important to remove this bung before attempting to place the phone in the
cradle. Failure to do so risks serious damage to the phone.
To install:
Locate the retaining latch on the
top right of the cradle, and rotate
clockwise.
Slide the base of the Iridium phone
downwards into the Phone Cradle,
aligning the slots on either end of
the phone’s connector with the
two alignment pins on the end of
the cradles’ connector.
Rotate the top of the handset back
onto the cradle; the antenna
connector will slip into the
antenna connector hole in the back
of the phone. Then rotate the
retaining latch anti-clockwise to
lock the phone in place.
To release the phone, reverse the above steps
