RADIATION WARNING
Highlevelsofradiofrequencyradiation areconsideredhealth hazardous.Although
no single value of “safe radiation level” has been agreed upon by all countries,
the American National Standards Institute (ANSI/LEEE C95.1-1992) recommends
that people should not be exposed to radiation stronger than 1 milliwatt per
square centimetre at the frequencies used in the Nera WorldPro terminal.
Accordingly, the operator of the terminal should ensure that the area extending
0.5 metre from the front of the antenna be kept clear of personnel when the ter-
minal is transmitting.
OBTAINING LICENSING FOR INMARSAT TERMINALS
Under rights given under ITU Radio Regulations, local telecommunications administrations establish and enforce
national rules and regulations governing types of emissions, power levels, and other parameters that effect the
purity of signal, which may be radiated in the various frequency bands of the radio spectrum.
To legally operate an Inmarsat terminal, it is necessary to obtain permission from the local telecommunications
regulatory authorities of the country you are operating within. Using your terminal in any country without per-
mission causes you to run the risk of confiscation of the terminal or legal action from local authorities. Normal
practice for taking telecommunications into another country is to apply for a license before travel. If a license has
not been obtained before travel, the equipment may be put into storage by local authorities until such time as a
license is obtained.
All specifications are subject to change without notice.
FCC Notice
USE CONDITIONS
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE:This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions,may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY RADIATION
This device complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.The antenna
used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 50 cm from all persons and
must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
CAUTION
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user's authority, which is
granted by FCC, to operate this satellite terminal Nera WorldPro.

USER GUIDE
General
The Nera WorldPro satellite terminal is a small light-
weight satellite terminal providing transmission via
Inmarsat’s BGAN broadband data and voice service.
The Inmarsat BGAN system can be compared with the
3G Mobile network for cellular phones.
The terminal can be separated into two parts, so users
can choose between indoor and outdoor use, with no
need for an additional external antenna.
Combined with the Nera WorldSet for voice source, it
is ideal for users who need to set up a complete broad-
band mobile office in frequently changing locations.
Voice and data connections can be used simultaneously.
All services are supported in spot beam, see the Satellite
Coverage Map.
Applications
Remote access - high-speed access to your corporate
network, enabling access to company and customer
information.
Internet access -access the Internet at speeds up to
384kbps.
Email - send and receive email via the Internet or
email applications.
Telephony - make phone calls via a peripheral handset
at the same time as accessing data applications.
Streaming - select guaranteed quality of service up to
64kbps on demand, e.g. for video, audio.
File transfer - send and receive large files.
INTRODUCTION
Store and forward - save and send files e.g. video.
SMS - Short Message Service
Key benefits
Ultimate portability - at around half the size of a
laptop and weighing less than 1 kilo, it is the smallest
and lightest terminal in the BGAN range.
Simultaneous voice and broadband data - access your
data applications and make a phone call at the same
time.
Easy configuration - the terminal can also be config-
ured directly from the Nera WorldSet.
Highly flexible - uniquely designed to split into two
separate units, so the antenna can be placed outside,
while you work indoors in comfort - with no require-
ment for an additional external antenna.
The terminal can be connected to a laptop via the USB
port or Bluetooth, and via Ethernet from Q2 2006.
Global coverage - provides service anywhere within
the BGAN coverage area.
Easy to use - with the one-patch antenna design, it
takes less than a minute to locate a satellite commu-
nications signal.The service can be accessed via BGAN
LaunchPad on your laptop, or an on-box user interface
with self-explanatory indicators.
Robust - purposely designed to operate in challenging
environmental conditions.
Completely secure - connect seamlessly via your pre-
ferred VPN application.

Terminal modes
Toggling between Pointing mode and Standby mode
is done using the Activate button.
Pointing mode
Nera WorldPro enters the pointing mode automati-
cally when powered on.The terminal exits point-
ing when pressing Activate or registering onto the
Inmarsat BGAN Network via BGAN LaunchPad or Nera
Worldset.
The buzzer in the Antenna Unit is active when in
pointing mode.
The buzzer can be turned off/on, or its level adjusted
from LaunchPad or Nera WorldSet.
Standby mode
In this mode the terminal logs onto the Inmarsat
BGAN system and becomes operational.
When charging the battery indoors with no intention
to operational, you can exit the Pointing mode (turn
off the sound) by switching to Standby mode.
Toggle between Pointing mode and Standby mode by
pressing the Activate button.
Sleep mode
Sleep mode is a state the terminal enters after 10sec-
onds in Standby mode, when logged onto the Inmar-
sat BGAN system and running on batteries only.
The terminal will wake up when activities occur like:
• Incoming calls / incoming SMS
• When using BGAN LaunchPad / Nera WorldSet.
• Making a call / sending SMS.
• Loosing satellite signal / alarm ocurred.
In sleep mode only the battery indicator is ON.

SIM card
The SIM card carries subscription information from
your Net service provider on an integrated circuit.
The card must be of the type USIM, which are subscrib-
er identity modules designed for 3G mobile telephony.
The SIM card has its own set of Inmarsat Mobile
Numbers (IMN) on which the user can be contacted
irrespective of the Nera WorldPro used.
All outgoing calls will be billed to the owner of the SIM
card.
The SIM card is protected by a SIM PIN (Personal Iden-
tification Number). Contact your Net service provider
if you do not have the PIN code.
If entering wrong PIN code, operation with that
particular SIM card will lock-up after three failed at-
tempts. You must then use the SIM unblock code (PUK
code) provided by your Net service provider to unlock
the card. Contact your Net service provider if you do
not have the PUK code.
To change or disable the PIN code, see later in this
manual.
The SIM card can store various information, e.g.:
• SIM PIN code (Personal Identification Number)
• APN (Access Point Name)
• Phone book
• SMS messages sent and received
• Allowed and preferred Net service providers.
• Inmarsat Mobile Number (IMN)
• Service Provider information

The SIM card must be installed prior to installing
the battery. SIM card to be slid all the way into the slot.
3The battery is enclosed with the Nera WorldPro, and
must be installed before it can be charged. Charge for
24hrs the first time.
4Remount the battery compartment cover. Cover
locks SIM card in slot.
Normal charge time is 3hrs.
