Preparation
The Thuraya unit uses satellite communications which
requires direct line of sight to a Thuraya satellite. To
achieve the best connection, please note the following:
• High buildings, tall trees and mountains may
obstruct the line of sight with the satellite.
• In order to connect to the satellite network, the
satellite unit needs to receive the GPS location
data first. This may take several minutes if the
product is used in a new location.
• Always keep the antenna fully extended when
using the satellite unit.
Getting Started
Installing the Application
In order to use the satellite unit with your smartphone,
you need to download the Thuraya SatSleeve Hotspot
App for free from the App Store or Google Play and
install the application on your smartphone.
Inserting the SIM Card
A SIM card is required to connect to the Thuraya
satellite network. Make sure to insert the SIM card
before inserting the battery and turning on the
satellite unit.
