Initializing Your Phone

• 1). Go outside, switch on the phone and pull out its antenna.
  
  
• 2). Go to "Menu" and select "System Preference". Select "SAT only" to set the phone to only use satellite networks.
  
  
• 3). Go back to the menu and select "Network," then select "Sat Registration." This will allow your phone to sync up with the satellite and record your GPS coordinates. This process can take up to 20 minutes.
  
  
• 4). Go back to "System Preferences" in the menu, and select your preferred option. Choose "GSM only" or "SAT only" to use GSM or satellite networks at all times. Choose "GSM preferred" or "SAT preferred" to allow the phone to switch from one mode to the other if the preferred network is unavailable.
