Weather, you must activate it.

IMEI number and authorization code
to complete the online portion of
activation before you go outdoors.
5Go outdoors to an open area with a
clear view of the sky, and point the
antenna on the device toward the sky
for optimal performance.
6Wait while the device communicates
with the Iridium satellite network.
NOTE: It may take up to 20 minutes to
activate your device. The device must

Iridium Satellite Network
Your device requires a clear view of
the sky to transmit messages and track
points over the Iridium satellite network.
Without a clear view of the sky, your
device attempts to send the information
until it acquires satellite signals.
TIP: For the best connection with
satellites, place the device with the
antenna pointed toward the sky.
