Introduction
Thank you for having chosen Telit. Please read this manual carefully in order to be in a
position to make full use of your telephone’s capabilities.
Using your dual mode Satellite/GSM Telit Sat 550 Telephone, calls may be made and re-
ceived using both the GSM, 900 MHz cellular networks (on condition that an agreement
exists between your network operator and the network on which you are about to operate)
and using the Globalstar ®satellite network.
Despite your Sat 550’s advanced technology, it is extremely simple to use. It offers the
functions typical of a GSM telephone but in addition, using a very simple menu, it allows
you to make use of the enormous potential offered by Globalstar* network’s satellite cov-
erage.
On reading the first few pages of this manual, you will already be able to make and re-
ceive calls, memorise and recall telephone numbers in your telephone directory, and send
and receive short messages text (SMS).
* Find out about the coverage offered by the Globalstar network by speaking to your operator or service provider.
The Sat 550 telephone may be used in all European Union Countries. Youmay not be able to use it in other countries or regions due to local tele-
communication regulations.

Satellite Antenna
When in satellite mode, it is important that the satellite antenna be used correctly to allow
you to make full use of the potential offered by the Globalstar network.
Position of the antenna while in use
Before be
g
innin
g
a satellite call, the antenna must be rotated to the left or ri

round,
pointin
g
up to the sky, while the conversation is in pro

NOTE: In satellite mode it is important that the telephone and the satellite are in “si
g
ht” of
each other, to achieve maximum quality service. Hi
g
hest quality is therefore obtained
outdoors.
