General Use
Refer to the instructions provided with your Iridium antenna to ensure proper placement. Clear line of sight to
the Iridium satellites is fundamental to satellite phone connectivity. Be sure the antenna will reach your desired
installation point inside your building. The Docking Station must be kept in a dry, climate-controlled space.
After the antenna is installed, simply connect the Docking Station to the antenna, attach an analog handset to
the Docking Station, insert your 9505-series handset and turn it off, connect the mini-plugs from the Docking
Station to the handset, and connect the power source to the Docking Station. Your unit automatically starts
when power is applied.
Before turning on your Docking Station, be sure that you have attached the
antenna and all peripherals you wish to use—telephone handset, modem
cable, etc. Connecting all peripherals first will ensure that the Docking
Station recognizes them during boot-up. The Docking Station does not
have a power switch. Instead, simply plug or unplug the power adapter to
turn the unit on or off.
We recommend you watch your 9505A handset screen closely during
Docking Station boot-up. The messages displayed will help you troubleshoot
your system should it not provide a clear signal (or any signal at all).
