Airtime services must first be purchased for Iridium before use. Purchase Iridium airtime
directly from NAL Research or from any of Iridium certified airtime resellers.
Reading the entire manual is helpful to learn how to operate the SHOUT ts as a messaging
device. As a tracking device, you can quickly set up the SHOUT ts with just a few simple
steps shown below. However, a server is required to receive tracking reports.
1.
Turn on the SHOUT ts 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
>
Rpt Rate
menu
to set the reporting rate and turn
tracking on. The SHOUT ts 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 ts for use on the Iridium DoD EMSS
Gateway. However, accessing the EMSS Gateway is not authorized until the SHOUT ts 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.
