SAFETY SUMMARYSAFETY SUMMARY
The following general safety precautions must be observed during
all phases of operation, service and repair of this equipment. Failure
to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere
in this manual violates safety standards of design, manufacture and
intended use of the equipment
Thrane & Thrane A/S assumes no liability for the customers failure to
comply with these requirements.
MICROWAVE RADIATION HAZARDSMICROWAVE RADIATION HAZARDS
During transmission this telephone radiates Microwave Power from
the antenna unit. This radiation may be hazardous if exposed directly
to human close to the antenna. During transmission, make sure that
nobody gets closer than the recommended minimum safety distance.
GROUND THE EQUIPMENTGROUND THE EQUIPMENT
The chassis of the main electronic unit must be firmly grounded to
the vehicle body through a short low impedance wire from the
grounding screw terminal located at the front of the electronic unit

KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITSKEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS
Operating personnel must not remove equipment covers.
Component replacement and internal adjustment must be made by
qualified maintenance personnel. Do not replace components with
the power cable or battery connected. Under certain conditions,
dangerous voltages may exist even with the power cable removed.
To avoid injuries, always disconnect power and discharge circuits
before touching them.
DO NOT SERVICE OR ADJUST ALONEDO NOT SERVICE OR ADJUST ALONE
Do not attempt internal service or adjustments unless another
person, capable of rendering first aid resuscitation, is present.

This manual describes the Capsat®Telephone.
The Capsat®Telephone is a mobile Inmarsat-phone mini-M terminal which provides access
to international telephone, facsimile and data networks.
SSATELLITEATELLITE TTELEPHONEELEPHONE CCOMMUNICATIONOMMUNICATION
Operating the Capsat®Telephone is much the same as making direct international telephone
calls from an ordinary telephone.
The difference is that the Capsat®Telephone communicates directly with a satellite and
therefore does not rely on a local telephone operator to route the call to the desired
destination. Instead, the calls to/from the satellite are routed by designated Land Earth
Stations (LESs) which also communicates with the same satellite as the telephone terminal.
The necessary requirements to operate a satellite telephone is that
a) the terminal is registered by a service provider (i.e. payment arrangements).
b) the location where the telephone is located is covered by a satellite, and
c) there is a free line of sight from the antenna of the terminals to the satellite.
The satellite system used by the Capsat®Telephone is operated by the international
organisation, Inmarsat. The system consists of four satellites which combined guarantee
world-wide coverage (see appendix B for coverage maps).
When working with the Inmarsat-phone mini-M system, the following abbreviations are often
used:
MES Mobile Earth Station.
This is the name that Inmarsat uses for terminals.
E.g. the Capsat®Telephone is a MES. Mobile refers to the fact that the terminals are re-
locatable.
Earth Station is a satellite communication term.
LES Land Earth Station.
The LES is located at the "other" end of the MES's satellite link. The LES connects to the
local telephone networks and manages calls to and from the MES.
NCS Network Co-ordination Station.
The NCS is responsible for assigning communication channels to the MESs. In case of
NCS failure the MESs will switch to "Stand-Alone" mode. In Stand-Alone mode
designated LESs in each ocean region will act as NCS.
