Airtime services must first be purchased for Iridium, cellular, or both before use. Purchase
Iridium airtime directly from NAL Research or from any of Iridium certified airtime resellers. A
cellular micro SIM card, including prepaid SIM cards, on a network that supports 2G GSM/GPRS
and 3G UMTS/HSPA services is required for the SHOUT 3G. A 4G LTE-only network will not
support the SHOUT 3G. NAL has validated SHOUT 3G operation on both AT&T and T-Mobile
networks. Due to network device requirements, the Verizon network is not supported. Request
an account that supports SMS service, packet switch data service, or both.
Reading the entire manual is helpful to learn how to operate the 3G as a messaging device. As a
tracking device, you can quickly set up the 3G with just a few simple steps shown below.
However, a server is required to receive tracking reports.
1.
Turn the 3G on by holding down the Power/Back button
for about two seconds.
2.
Go to the
Tracking
>
Format
menu
to set the report format.
3.
Go to the
Tracking
>
Links
menu
to select a network(s).
4.
Go to the
Tracking
>
Rpt Rate
menu
to set the reporting rate and turn tracking on.
The 3G is now in tracking mode and ready to send position reports. No further action is
required. The unit automatically goes to “sleep” in between reports.
Important:
NAL Research can enable the SHOUT 3G for use on the DoD EMSS Iridium Gateway
(only for the Iridium network, not the cellular network). However, accessing the EMSS Iridium
Gateway is not authorized until the SHOUT 3G is provisioned (signed up for airtime).
Unauthorized attempts to access the EMSS Gateway will result in immediate disabling of the
offending device, which must then be returned to NAL Research for repair. See webpage
for more information regarding DoD EMSS service provisioning.
