Special Instructions for using the SōlStar™ T-12g with the Globalstar GSP-1600 Satellite Phone
As with all solar charging
systems using a 12-volt
(cigarette lighter) adapter:
•Charger works best in
cloudless conditions and
full sun. Make sure that
charger fully faces the
sun.
•It takes approximately
3 hours to fully charge the
GSP-1600 in full sun
(4 bars on the battery
icon).
•It is best to monitor
charging status from time
to time (in case of clouds,
low light conditions, or
shade). Otherwise, phone
may display the “Charging
is Complete” message
prematurely. If the
“Charging is Complete”
message is displayed
prematurely, the phone
should be reset.*
•It is best to let the phone
charge for 5 minutes
before attempting to place
a call.

•In case the operator
disconnects the phone
from the charger in full sun
and message display
remains blank after
reconnecting, follow reset
instructions*.
* RESET INSTRUCTIONS:
Disconnect, then
reconnect cigarette lighter
adapter from base of
phone. Wait for full sun.
Folding Instructions for the SolStar™ T-12g Solar Charger
Fold the charger down the
centerline, active solar cells to
the inside.
Orient so the solar panel cord
out of the junction box is on
the “up” side.
Starting at the end away from
the cable, fold the charger
along its hinge-folds.
When both the hook and loop
sides of the Velcro are lined
up, press them together to
secure the folded unit.
Note: When correctly folded
and secured, the solar panel cord
out of the junction box will have
been folded inside the charger.
