QUALCOMM Globalstar GSP-1600 Tri-Mode Phone User Guide

Getting Started
It is very important that you read this section because your tri-mode phone is unique – it combines satellite technology and cellular technology in one phone. For more detailed information on usage, refer to the other sections in this guide. If you need further assistance, see Solving problems, page 1.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Understanding your phone
Consider your phone as “two phones in one” because it requires operation in two distinct ways to make and receive two different types of calls:

• Satellite calls – Calls made via satellite. This is known as Globalstar satellite mode.
• Cellular calls – Calls made by cellular phone technology. There are two cellular modes: digital mode and analog mode.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Tip
The calling mode has probably been preset on your phone. To view or change the current setting, set your mode preference (see Auto Mode, page 50) so the mode is automatically selected when you turn your phone on (see Manual Mode, page 49).

Contacting customer service
You may have different service providers for Globalstar satellite service and cellular service. Contact the appropriate service provider for customer service.

Solving problems
If you have problems using your phone, see Troubleshooting, page 63. If you still have trouble, contact your satellite or cellular service provider.

Preparing for satellite calls

• If the security module is not properly installed, you can only make calls to emergency numbers and you cannot receive calls. Your satellite service provider installs and maintains the security module (see Security module, page 8, for more information).
• Charge and properly install the battery. See Battery Care and Maintenance, page 53.
• Rotate the Globalstar satellite antenna located on the back of the phone (see Phone features and keypad, page 5). You do not need to push or pull the antenna because it automatically extends as you rotate it and automatically retracts when stored.
• Move the antenna to its optimal position (pointing straight up to the sky) until it sets into one of two positions. You cannot make or receive a satellite call with the Globalstar satellite antenna stored.
• Getting Started
• Position yourself outdoors so that your view of the sky is clear to prevent dropped calls. For best performance, move away from tall obstacles such as buildings or trees. If you have a clear view of the sky, the satellites will have a clear view of you and the phone. The phone will not operate inside a building nor a vehicle unless you are using the car kit.
