Call notification Software Upgrades
Your Thuraya XT-LITE allows you to
receive a notification of an incoming call
even if your satellite signal is too weak to
receive the call itself. This is particularly
useful when the Thuraya XT-LITE is in
your pocket with the antenna stowed, and
only has a weak signal.
1Fully extend the antenna of your
Thuraya XT-LITE.
2Ensure that you have direct line of
sight to the satellite.
3As soon as the signal strength
is strong enough, the warning
disappears from the display. You
can now accept the call as usual by
pressing the Call key.
A software upgrade is only required
if Thuraya releases a newer software
version. Before performing an upgrade
please check your current software
version under Security > S/W version to
see if an upgrade is required.

LITE upgrader file from www.thuraya.
com.
2Download the latest XT-LITE software
from www.thuraya.com.
3Power on your Thuraya XT-LITE with
a fully charged battery.
4Connect the PC and the Thuraya XT-
LITE using the USB cable.
5Double click the XT-LITE upgrader
icon on the desktop and the program
will guide you through the upgrade
process.
