1.0 PURPOSE
The 9602-AB is a 9602-LP with internal Iridium antenna, GPS antenna and LiIon battery. When a data
terminal equipment (DTE) is connected to the 9602-AB with SatTerm software installed (or any terminal
emulator software), the DTE can be used to setup the operating parameters of the 9602-AB via a USB port.
A DTE can be a desktop computer, a laptop computer or a micro-controller. Users are referred to the 9602-
LP operating manuals on how to set the 9602-AB operating parameters.

3.0 CHARGING THE 9602-AB
The 9602-AB is designed with an internal 1.95 A-Hr rechargeable Li-Ion battery. It is shipped with the
internal battery partially charged. User should fully charge the 9602-AB before use. There are two ways of
charging the 9602-AB. One is to use the supplied AC wall adapter. The other is to connect to a standard USB
device—make sure to use the USB cable provided with the 9602-AB. With the AC wall adapter, the charging
time is approximately five hours. Charging time using a USB port depends on the type of USB port. USB 1.0
should be able to charge the 9602-AB in about a day assuming the port is capable of producing an output
current of 100mA. USB 2.0 can charge in about four hours assuming the current output of 1.5A.
