Turning on the phone and kit
Prior to plugging the CPA (car power adapter) into the vehicles power source, place the patch antenna
out on the roof of the vehicle to avoid unnecessary RF exposure. Once the antenna is safely attached to
the roof, insert the Car Power Adapter into the vehicles power receptacle. If the phone is already in the
portable docking kit cradle, the phone will turn on automatically. If you insert your GSP-1700 into the
cradle after providing power to the GPDK-1700, the GSP-1700 will power up as soon as it is in the cradle.
Note
If you turn off the vehicle’s ignition during a call, the portable docking kit may or may not stay on.
Continuous power must be supplied to the portable docking kit by the vehicles power receptacle.
Charging the phone battery
When the phone is in the docking kit and the CPA is in a power receptacle, the kit will charge the
phone’s battery.
Hands-free mode
The portable docking kit allows you to use your phone more efficiently and safely while driving in your
vehicle. When the phone is properly attached to the cradle in the kit and powered up, you can speak in
the microphone and listen to the other party through the speaker while keeping both hands on the
wheel.
! Caution
You should stop the vehicle in a safe place before attempting to dial a number. If you must talk while
the vehicle is moving, use the hands-free microphone so that you can always concentrate on traffic
conditions.
If you turn off the vehicle’s ignition during a call, the call may be interrupted. It ultimately will depend
whether the vehicle’s power receptacle has power when the engine is turned off.
When you use hands-free mode
•
It is recommended that you use one-touch dialing or speed dialing to simplify key operations.
See the
QUALCOMM Globalstar GSP-1700 Phone User Manual.
•
Exercise extreme caution with traffic conditions.
Adjusting speaker volume
You can use the volume keys on the side of the phone to adjust the speaker volume. You can:
•
Adjust the phone speaker volume while on a call.
•
Adjust the ringer volume when the phone is not on a call.
