Motherboard mounting suggestions for the 9603/9603N Transceiver 1. This example of a host system motherboard footprint is shown for illustrative purposes only. The host system may require a different PCB layout or mechanical arrangement. 2. The 9603/9603N is designed to be incorporated within a host system. As such, the antenna or cable distribution system that feeds the host system should be terminated in a robust RF connector that is suitable for the end-application. 3. Safety isolation requirements for external antennas or cable distribution systems should also be taken into consideration when designing the motherboard. A suitably safe design for the RF connections should be incorporated into the host system motherboard, ideally using a chassis-bonded ground connection to the antenna cable shield. 4. The surface below the modem should be a conductive ground plane such that the modem bonds to the motherboard ground system thus reducing the possibility of radiated emissions. This also requires that the mounting screws be properly tightened to 10 cNm of torque. 5. The modem is to be installed in a service access only area not accessible by untrained personnel. Warning- Although the modem dissipates very little power, its use in ambient temperatures in excess of 60 degrees C will make the caseworks considerably hot.

The +5V Inputs and 0V supply returns are used to supply DC power to the 9603/9603N and ensure that enough current can be drawn across the connector without the 9603/9603N malfunctioning during transmit due to lack of current supply. Note that all power and ground pins should be connected externally. The DC power supply requirements for the 9603/9603N are summarized in Table 9 below. Note that these requirements apply to DC power measured at the 9603/9603N User connector input and not at the output of the power supply. Long power supply cables can cause a voltage drop sufficient to cause the voltage to be out of specification at the physical power supply input to the 9603/9603N.

** Note: Includes Tx Burst droop. This is the supply voltage range of the 9603; the 9603N has an extended supply voltage range of
+5 V +/- 0.5 V The external power supply needs to guarantee the following:
The supply voltage droop over for a 8.3ms burst of 1.5A current should not be more than 0.2 Volts1. 2 The power supply should limit the in-rush current to 4 Amps maximum The power source shall provide for over current protection in case of device malfunction. The supply noise should be less than the limits in the following profile:
100 mVpp 5 mVpp 10 mVpp 5 mVpp above 5 MHz measured in 1 MHz bandwidth. from 0 to 50 kHz at 1 MHz measured in 50 kHz bandwidth at 1 MHz measured in 1MHz bandwidth 1 On the 9603N the supply droop should not be more than 0.5 volts. 2 In rush limit refers to the impedance of the modem when it is unpowered is very low. When power is supplied from an unlimited supply the instantaneous current can exceed 4 Amps If the current exceeds this value damage can occur. This can be limited in several ways, included using a supply that cannot provide more than 4 Amps instantaneously; or providing some series inductance/resistance to the supply lead.

The 9603/9603N starts up when power is applied and the power on/off input is high. As long as the input voltage is applied, logic high on this line turns the transceiver on and a logic low turns it off. If this line is not required then it must be connected directly to the +5 V supply. Note that this on/off control is similar to the Iridium 9601 and 9602 products, but it is not the same as the 9522, 9522A or 9522B products. Prior to turning off the modem a flush memory (AT*F) command should be issued to ensure all memory write activity is completed. When a transceiver has been turned off, Product Developers should not reapply power on a unit until more than 2 seconds has elapsed after power has reached 0V. Additionally, if a unit does not respond to AT commands, power off the module, wait for 2 seconds and then power it back on. When a 9603/9603N is powered off the power on reset circuit requires 2 seconds for voltages to decay. If the 2 second wait time is not adhered to the reset circuit may not operate and the modem could be placed in a non-operational state. The state is not permanent and can be rectified by the above procedure. 3.2.2 Typical Power Usage Profile This section is designed to give the Product Developer some insight to the electrical power profile that the 9603/9603N uses. It does not describe every situation and permutation possible. It should be used as a starting point for the Product Developer to continue its own development design. The actual usage profile can vary for a number of reasons:
1) View of the sky if in poor visibility of the sky where a clear line of sight is not available between the transceiver and the satellite. 2) The higher the antenna VSWR the higher the current consumed 3) How often the 9603/9603N module is activated/deactivated by the Host Controller system 4) Manufacturing variation from transceiver to transceiver. The host system designer should ensure their design covers for worst case power consumption scenarios. Proprietary & Confidential Information Distribution of guide restricted to product developers only Information contained in this guide is subject to change without notice. 22 Iridium 9603 SBD Transceiver Product Developers Guide Revision 3.1 3.3 Serial Data Interface The data/fax serial interface is an RS-232 9-wire interface at 3.3V digital signal levels over which the 9603/9603N and FA transfer commands, responses, and SBD message data. With respect to this interface, the 9603/9603N behaves as a DCE (Data Communication Equipment), and the FA behaves as a DTE (Data Terminal Equipment). If RS-232 voltage levels are needed, the FA must include an LVTTL/RS-232 level-shifter. Autobaud is not supported. The baud rate can be set via the AT+IPR command. The default rate is 19200 bps. See the ISU AT Command Reference Specification for information on the data/fax interface. 3.4 Network Available Output This is a digital output that can be used by an application to know when the transceiver has visibility to the satellite network. This is useful in applications where the transceiver may move around terrain that reduces the amount of time that clear line of sight to the satellite constellation is available. The Product Developer can use this output to preserve battery life by reducing the number of attempted transmissions by including this logic output in the application decision logic. Network Available means only that the 9603/9603N can successfully receive the Ring Channel, or, put more simply, it can see an Iridium satellite. Network Available is not a guarantee that a message can be successfully sent. The Network Available state is evaluated every time the Ring Channel is received or missed. If the Ring Channel is visible, then that is typically every 4 seconds. If the Ring Channel is not currently visible, then the update period can be as long as 2 minutes, depending on how long the lack of satellite visibility existed. This is because the 9603/9603N attempts to conserve power by increasing the ring search interval while the satellites are not visible. Every time a ring search fails, the time to wait is increased and eventually limits at 120 seconds. If Network Available is currently off, the Field Application may still attempt an SBDI[X] session. This will force the 9603/9603N Transceiver to look for the Ring Channel immediately, and on finding it, to attempt to send the message. In this case Network Available will not come on immediately. The Network Available does not turn on while in a +SBDI session. It will however turn on 4 seconds later assuming that the Ring Channel is present. After the SBD session completes, the 9603/9603N performs a new Ring Channel search sequence, at the end of which Network Available gets turned on. That can take between 4 and 12 seconds. The wait time between search windows is reset to 4 seconds every time a search succeeds. Otherwise it continues to increase. So if the +SBDI attempt fails to find the ring channel, the search window does not reset to 4 seconds. Note that the behavior of +CIEV:1 is identical in to that of the Network Available output. 3.5 DC Supply Indicator Output A DC supply indicator signal is provided by the 9603/9603N which could be used directly for driving an LED to provide a visible indication that the Transceiver supply is on. Alternatively the output signal could be used in application logic to determine if the internal Transceiver power supply is on.

The part number is U.FL-R-SMT-1. This is a surface mount connector that is directly attached to the 9603/9603N module. The U.FL connector mates with a pigtail which can link to an antenna. Note: The 9603/9603N module has a different antenna connector than other Iridium transceivers. Note that for safety reasons, the RF connector on the 9603/9603N module should not be directly connected to an external antenna cable or cable distribution system. Paragraph 7.3 of EN60950-1:2006 safety standard requires that users are protected against high voltages that might appear on these cables. This can be achieved either by inserting a high-voltage isolating capacitor in series with the signal or by grounding the shield of the coaxial cable. The 9602 RF connector has limited voltage capacity;
therefore, protection needs to be provided in the host application. Developers are encouraged to review the EN60950-1:2006 standard for additional details. 4.2 Antenna Implementation 4.2.1 Antenna Characteristics The 9603/9603N should be connected to an Iridium-band antenna with the following antenna connector characteristics as described in Table 11. Table 11: Antenna Characteristics Parameter Impedance Gain (maximum) Polarization VSWR (in Iridium band) VSWR (out of band) Value 50 Ohms nominal 3dBi RHCP 1.5:1 3:1 4.2.2 Important Design Guidance for the 9603 The 9603* requires a load, i.e. antenna plus cable, to present a VSWR of less than 3:1 over the frequency range of 1.2 GHz to 2.0 GHz at the 9603 RF connector. This is the out-of-band VSWR requirement. In the event a particular antenna design does not meet the out-of-band VSWR requirement, a combination of cable loss and passive attenuation, i.e. an attenuator, can be used to satisfy the out-of-band VSWR requirement provided the total attenuation, cable plus attenuator, between the 9603s RF connector and antenna does not exceed 3 dB. A minimal amount of attenuation should be used to meet the out-of-band VSWR requirement for best performance as well as a lower VSWR in the Iridium band.
*Note: The above design guidance applies only to the 9603 and not the 9603N Note: Existing certified antennas will require different RF connector types than those for the 9601, 9602, 9522, 9522A and 9522B Proprietary & Confidential Information Distribution of guide restricted to product developers only Information contained in this guide is subject to change without notice. 24 Iridium 9603 SBD Transceiver Product Developers Guide Revision 3.1 4.3 RF Interface Specifications The RF interface requirements for the 9603/9603N are summarized in Table 12 below. Table 12: General RF Parameters Parameter Value Frequency Range 1616 MHz to 1626.5 MHz Duplexing Method TDD (Time Domain Duplex) Input/Output Impedance 50 Multiplexing Method TDMA/FDMA 4.4 Radio Characteristic s Table 13 contains radio characteristics of the 9603/9603N SBD Transceiver. Table 13: Radio Characteristics Parameter Average Power during a transmit slot (max) Value 1.5W Receiver sensitivity (Typical level at module connector)
-116dBm Max Cable loss permitted (Note 1) Link Margin Downlink (Note 2) Link Margin Uplink (Note 2) 2dB 13dB 7dB Note 1: Cable losses should be minimized. The total implementation loss for an antenna, connectors, cable, lightening arrestor and any other RF component between the transceiver and the antenna should not exceed 3dB. The total cable loss between the antenna and the modem includes losses in the motherboard. Implementation loss higher than this will affect the Iridium link performance and quality of service. Solutions with a loss higher than 3dB will not meet the requirements of Iridium Solution Certification. Note 2: Link Margins are given assuming a free-space propagation model. 4.5 S-meter Performance The numbers reported over the AT command interface indicate the signal strength of the ring channel. Care should be taken when using the S-meter readings for comparisons between devices. Of particular note are the following:
1. There is a 0.5 dB tolerance on calibrating the S-meter. 2. Each bar represents a 2 dB increment 3. Multiple ring channels can be present at the same time so units can lock to different signals. 4. If the reading is near the decision threshold it would be easy to see a 1 bar difference 5 AT Command Set Description The 9603/9603N is configured and operated through the use of AT commands. See the ISU AT Command Reference for the full set of AT commands and responses. Note that versions 3.2 and earlier of the ISU AT Command Reference do not mention the 9603/9603N. Subsequent versions of the reference will do so. At the time of writing of this version of this document, all information contained in the ISU AT Command Reference for the 9602 applies equally to the 9603/9603N. For differences in AT command support between 9603/9603N software releases, see the relevant software release notes, which are made available to authorized Iridium VARs and VAMs on the Iridium Developer Extranet. It is the responsibility of Product Developers to check compatibility of applications software with the AT Commands on all 9603/9603Ns used for both development and commercial deployments.

Proprietary & Confidential Information 5 to Product Developers Only Distribution of Guide Restricted Information Contained in this Guide Iridium Communications Inc. 9602 SBD Transceiver Product Developers Guide is Subject to Change Without Notice Revision 1.2 (DRAFT 2) 1 Product Overview The Iridium 9602/9602N Short Burst Data Only Transceiver (9602/9602N) is designed to be integrated into a wireless data application with other host system hardware and software to produce a full solution designed for a specific application or vertical market. Examples of these solutions include tracking a maritime vessel or automatic vehicle location. The 9602/9602N only supports Iridiums Short Burst Data (SBD) capability. It does not support voice, circuit switched data, or short message service (SMS). The 9602/9602N is designed to meet the regulatory requirements for approval for FCC, Canada, and CE assuming an antenna with a gain of ~3 dBi and adequate shielding. This allows the 9602/9602N to be integrated into a variety of wireless data applications or retrofitted into existing SBD only applications that utilize SBD with the current Iridium 9601, 9522A, 9522B or 9522 L-Band transceiver-based products. (Note that additional development work will be required). Such finished products, when integrated together, require regulatory and safety testing to be conducted by the integrator. The 9602/9602N is a single board transceiver provided as a black box transceiver module with all device interfaces provided by a single multi-pin interface connector in addition to the antenna connector. The Product only provides the core transceiver.

This example of a host system motherboard footprint is shown for illustrative purposes only. The host system may require a different PCB layout or mechanical arrangement. 2. The 9602/9602N is designed to be incorporated within a host system. As such, the antenna or cable distribution system that feeds the host system should be terminated in a robust RF connector that is suitable for the end-application. 3. Safety isolation requirements for external antennas or cable distribution systems should also be taken into consideration when designing the motherboard. A suitably safe design for the RF connections should be incorporated into the host system motherboard, ideally using a chassis-bonded ground connection to the antenna cable shield. 4. The surface below the modem should be a conductive ground plane such that the modem bonds to the motherboard ground system thus reducing the possibility of radiated emissions. This also requires that the mounting screws get properly tightened to 7 pound-inches of torque. 5. The modem is to be installed in a service access only area not accessible by untrained personnel. Warning- Although the modem dissipates very little power, its use in ambient temperatures in excess of 60 deg C will make the caseworks considerably hot. Iridium Communications Inc.

The +5V Inputs and 0V supply returns are used to supply DC power to the 9602/9602N and ensure that enough current can be drawn across the connector without the 9602/9602N malfunctioning during transmit due to lack of current supply. Note that all power and ground pins should be connected externally. The DC power supply requirements for the 9602/9602N are summarized in Table 9 below. Note that these requirements apply to DC power measured at the 9602/9602N User connector input and not at the output of the power supply. Long power supply cables can cause a voltage drop sufficient to cause the voltage to be out of specification at the physical power supply input to the 9602/9602N.

* Note: The average power consumption will vary depending on the view of the satellite constellation from the antenna. The external power supply needs to guarantee the following:
The supply voltage droop over for a 8.3ms burst of 1.5A (9602)/ 1.3A (9602N) current should not be more than 0.2 Volts. The power supply should limit the in-rush2 current to 4 Amps maximum The power source shall provide for over current protection in case of device malfunction. The supply noise should be less than the limits in the following profile:
100 mVpp 5 mVpp 10 mVpp 5 mVpp from 0 to 50 kHz at 1 MHz measured in 50 kHz bandwidth at 1 MHz measured in 1MHz bandwidth above 5 MHz measured in 1 MHz bandwidth. 2 In rush limit refers to the impedance of the modem when it is unpowered is very low. When power is supplied from an unlimited supply the instantaneous current can exceed 4 Amps. If the current exceeds this value damage can occur. This can be limited in several ways, included using a supply that cannot provide more than 4 Amps instantaneously; or providing some series inductance/resistance to the supply lead.

The 9602/9602N starts up when power is applied and the power on/off input is high. As long as the input voltage is applied, logic high on this line turns the transceiver on and a logic low turns it off. If this line is not required then it must be connected directly to the +5 V supply. Note that this on/off control is similar to the 9601 product but it is not the same as the 9522, 9522A or 9522B products. Prior to turning off the modem a flush memory (AT*F) command should be issued to ensure all memory write activity is completed. When a transceiver has been turned off, Product Developers should not reapply power on a unit until more than 2 seconds has elapsed after power has reached 0V. Additionally, if a unit does not respond to AT commands, power off the module, wait for 2 seconds and then power it back on. When a 9602/9602N is powered off the power on reset circuit requires 2 seconds for voltages to decay. If the 2 second wait time is not adhered to the reset circuit may not operate and the modem could be placed in a non-operational state. The state is not permanent and can be rectified by the above procedure. 3.2.2 Typical Power Usage Profile This section is designed to give the Product Developer some insight to the electrical power profile that the 9602/9602N uses. It does not describe every situation and permutation possible. It should be used as a starting point for the Product Developer to continue its own development design. The actual usage profile can vary for a number of reasons:
1) View of the sky if in poor visibility of the sky where a clear line of sight is not available between the transceiver and the satellite. 2) The higher the antenna VSWR the higher the current consumed 3) How often the 9602/9602N module is activated/deactivated by the Host Controller system 4) Manufacturing variation from transceiver to transceiver. The host system designer should ensure their design covers for worst case power consumption scenarios. Figure 6 provides a graphical representation of the typical supply current profile of a 9602 SBD Transceiver sending and receiving SBD messages. Iridium Communications Inc.

The 9602/9602N presents a 9-wire data port to the FA (Field Application), where the interface is at 3.3V digital signal levels. With respect to this interface, the 9602/9602N behaves as a DCE
(Data Communication Equipment), and the FA behaves as a DTE (Data Terminal Equipment). The terms FA and DTE are used interchangeably throughout this document; similarly for the terms 9602 and DCE. Autobaud is not supported in 9602/9602N SBD Transceiver. The baud rate can be set via the AT+IPR command. The default rate is 19200 bps. 3.3.1 9-Wire and 3-Wire Operation By default, the serial interface operates as a 9-wire connection. Table 10 describes each of the signals, where input means an input to the 9602/9602N, and output means an output from the 9602/9602N SBD Transceiver. Iridium Communications Inc.

Active high data input [Data is transmitted from the DTE to the 9602/9602N]
0V Active low flow control input Active low flow control output RTS and CTS are used together to implement hardware flow control when enabled with AT&K3 Active low handshaking input AT&Dn controls how the 9602/9602N uses DTR:
Otherwise DTR set to OFF places the data port into UART test mode after 10 If set to AT&D0, DTR is always ignored. seconds, or immediately on boot-up. A subsequent transition of DTR to ON returns the data port to DCE mode and resets it to its power-on state. The UART test mode is provided for factory testing of the data port UART. An FA should never activate test mode; if it does, the 9602/9602N will stop responding to AT commands until the data port is returned to DCE mode. Active low handshaking output The 9602/9602N drives DSR ON when the data port is in DCE mode, and OFF when the data port is in test mode. The DTE may use this signal as an indication that the 9602/9602N is powered up and ready to receive AT commands. Active low ring indicator output The 9602/9602N drives RI ON when it receives a Automatic Notification from the network that a Mobile Terminated SBD Message is queued at the Gateway, and drives RI OFF after 5 seconds or when the DTE initiates an SBD session, whichever occurs first. Active low handshaking output DCD is driven OFF at all times. Signal RX TX GND RTS CTS DTR DSR RI DCD Note that the Ring Indicator (RI) pin is used by the 9602/9602N SBD Transceiver to indicate that a Mobile Terminated SBD (MT-SBD) message is queued at the Gateway. The Field Application can monitor this pin and use appropriate AT Commands to command the Transceiver to retrieve the MT-SBD message. The serial interface may be operated with a 3-wire connection, where only transmit, receive and ground signals are used. However the 9 wire interface offers better control and is the recommended implementation. Iridium is only able to provide limited 3-wire interface support. Due to the small code space and limited processing resources of the 9602/9602N the flow control is limited. When operating with a 3-wire connection, the following rules apply:
AT&Dn must be set to AT&D0 to ignore the DTR input AT&Kn must be set to AT&K0 to disable RTS/CTS flow control The other output signals may be connected, and operate as follows:
CTS driven ON (low) DSR operates as normal RI operates as normal DCD driven ON (low) Iridium Communications Inc.

1. RTS/CTS flow control, when enabled, is only used when the data port is in SBD data mode. In 2. AT command mode, RTS is ignored and CTS is driven ON (low). If the DC input to the modem is to be disconnected, the developer will need to tri-state the serial interface to prevent a possible latch-up condition. 3.3.2 Configuration Settings The 9602/9602N allows the DTE to configure the data port communication parameters. The three configuration types are active, factory default, and stored. The active configuration is the set of parameters currently in use. They can be changed by the DTE individually via specific AT commands. The factory default configuration is stored in permanent memory. This configuration can be recalled at any time through use of the AT&Fn command. Two groups of settings, or profiles, can be stored as user-defined configurations. The DTE first creates desired active configurations and then writes them to memory using the AT&Wn command. These profiles can be designated to be loaded as the active configuration upon 9602/9602N power-up through use of the AT&Yn command. The 9602/9602N can be reset without loss of power to these profiles through use of the ATZn command. The configuration settings are stored in S-register locations and are detailed further in the ISU AT Command Reference. 3.3.3 Modes of Operation The serial interface is always in one of three modes: command mode, SBD data mode or SBD session mode. When the data port is in command mode, AT commands can be entered to control the 9602/9602N. In command mode, flow control has no effect, with the RTS input ignored and the CTS output driven ON (low). When in SBD data mode, the 9602/9602N is transferring binary or text SBD message data to or from the DTE. In SBD data mode:
All characters from the DTE not forming part of the message data are ignored (i.e. no AT commands may be entered) No unsolicited result codes are issued. RTS/CTS flow control, if enabled, is active. When RTS is OFF (high), the 9602/9602N suspends transfer of data to the DTE; when CTS is OFF (high), the 9602/9602N expects the DTE to suspend transfer of data to the 9602/9602N. When in SBD session mode, the 9602/9602N is attempting to conduct an SBD session with the network. In SBD session mode:
The DTE must wait for the +SBDI [X][A]session result code. All characters from the DTE are ignored. Unsolicited result codes are issued where those codes have been enabled. Transitions between the modes of operation are performed automatically by the 9602/9602N in response to the SBD AT Commands; the DTE has no other control over the mode. Iridium Communications Inc. Proprietary & Confidential Information 26 to Product Developers Only Distribution of Guide Restricted Information Contained in this Guide Iridium Communications Inc. 9602 SBD Transceiver Product Developers Guide is Subject to Change Without Notice Revision 1.2 (DRAFT 2) 3.3.4 Serial port signal levels 3.3.4.1 Data Port Inputs The inputs on the 9602/9602N serial port (RTS, DTR and TXD) will operate correctly at 3.3V digital signal levels. RS-232 interface chips can be fitted to the host system motherboard if connection to an external RS232 link is required. Note that these may invert the digital logic level, so another inversion may be required. 3.3.4.2 Data Port Outputs The five outputs from the 9602/9602N serial port (DCD, DSR, CTS, RI and RXD) are all at 3.3V digital levels. 3.4 Hardware Failure Reporting If the 9602/9602N detects a hardware problem during initialisation, the 9602/9602N may be unable to function correctly. The 9602/9602N notifies the DTE of this situation by issuing an unsolicited result code at the end of initialisation:
HARDWARE FAILURE: <subsys>,<error>
where <subsys> identifies the software subsystem that detected the error, and <error> is the subsystem-specific error code. Any AT commands that cannot be handled in the failure condition will terminate with result code 4
(ERROR). 3.5 Network Available Output This is a digital output that can be used by an application to know when the transceiver has visibility to the satellite network. This is useful in applications where the transceiver may move around terrain that reduces the amount of time that clear line of sight to the satellite constellation is available. The Product Developer can use this output to preserve battery life by reducing the number of attempted transmissions by including this logic output in the application decision logic. Network Available means only that the 9602/9602N can successfully receive the Ring Channel, or, put more simply, it can see an Iridium satellite. Network Available is not a guarantee that a message can be successfully sent. The Network Available state is evaluated every time the Ring Channel is received or missed. If the Ring Channel is visible, then that is typically every 4 seconds. If the Ring Channel is not currently visible, then the update period can be as long as 2 minutes, depending on how long the lack of satellite visibility existed. This is because the 9602/9602N attempts to conserve power by increasing the ring search interval while the satellites are not visible. Every time a ring search fails, the time to wait is increased and eventually limits at 120 seconds. If Network Available is currently off, the Field Application may still attempt an SBDI[X] session. This will force the 9602/9602N Transceiver to look for the Ring Channel immediately, and on finding it, to attempt to send the message. In this case Network Available will not come on immediately. The Network Available does not turn on while in a +SBDI session. It will however turn on 4 seconds later assuming that the Ring Channel is present. After the SBD session completes, the 9602/9602N performs a new Ring Channel search sequence, at the end of which Network Available gets turned on. That can take between 4 and 12 seconds. Iridium Communications Inc. Proprietary & Confidential Information 27 to Product Developers Only Distribution of Guide Restricted Information Contained in this Guide Iridium Communications Inc. 9602 SBD Transceiver Product Developers Guide is Subject to Change Without Notice Revision 1.2 (DRAFT 2) The wait time between search windows is reset to 4 seconds every time a search succeeds. Otherwise it continues to increase. So if the +SBDI attempt fails to find the ring channel, the search window does not reset to 4 seconds. Note that the behavior of +CIEV:1 is identical in to that of the Network Available output. 3.6 DC Supply Indicator Output A DC supply indicator signal is provided by the 9602/9602N which could be used directly for driving an LED to provide a visible indication that the Transceiver supply is on. Alternatively the output signal could be used in application logic to determine if the internal Transceiver power supply is on. 4 RF Interface This section describes the physical characteristics of the RF connectors and specifications of the RF Interface. 4.1 RF Connector Types When mating to the 9602/9602N RF connector use MMCX male connectors from SAMTEC part number MMCX-P-P-H-ST-TH1. This is a thru hole printed circuit mount connector with the correct mechanical spacing to allow the 9602/9602N to fit flush on the motherboard. Note - this 9602/9602N module has a different antenna connector than Iridium transceivers. Both RF connectors on the 9602/9602N module are intended for an inter-board connection to the host system motherboard and should not be directly connected to an external antenna cable or cable distribution system. Additional information can be found at: http://www.samtec.com 4.2 ANT Connector The main RF connector for the 9602/9602N is the antenna connector, labeled ANT in the board silkscreen. This provides the RF connection between the 9602/9602N module and the host system motherboard. Note that for safety reasons, both RF connectors on the 9602/9602N module are intended for an inter-
board connection to the host system motherboard and should not be directly connected to an external antenna cable or cable distribution system. The EN609502 compliance standard outlines that telecommunications equipment needs protection from a 2KV spike. The MMCX connectors are not capable of 2KV operations therefore protection needs to be provided on the developers motherboard and a larger connector needs to be used. Developers are encourages to review the EN609502 compliance standards for additional details. Iridium Communications Inc. Proprietary & Confidential Information 28 to Product Developers Only Distribution of Guide Restricted Information Contained in this Guide Iridium Communications Inc. 9602 SBD Transceiver Product Developers Guide is Subject to Change Without Notice Revision 1.2 (DRAFT 2) 4.2.1 Antenna Characteristics The 9602/9602N should be connected to an Iridium-band antenna with the following antenna connector characteristics as described in Table 11. Table 11: Antenna Characteristics Parameter Impedance Gain Polarization VSWR (maximum operational) Value 50 Ohms nominal 3dBi RHCP 1.5 : 1 Note:
Existing qualified Iridium antennas may be used. (i.e. antennas designed for the 9601, 9522, 9522A Existing antennas will require different RF connector types to than those for the 9601, 9522, 9522A and 9522B) and 9522B 4.3 GPS Connector The second RF connector, labeled GPS in the board silkscreen, is a pass-through connection from the antenna path and is provided for GPS receivers that wish to share the main antenna. An overview of this circuit is provided in Figure 7. The following operational points should be noted when using GPS receivers connected to this point. o The GPS pass-through path is activated by detecting the presence of a DC voltage on the center-
pin of the GPS connector. The 9602/9602N uses the voltage from the GPS center pin to switch on the RX path and requires minimal current (<100uA). The GPS path activated when this center-pin voltage is higher than 1.2V (9602) / 1.6V (9602N). o There is a gain of approximately -3dB (9602) / +5.0dB (9602N) in the receive direction from ANT to GPS. o The GPS receive path is temporarily switched off during transmissions from the 9602/9602N. o As long as the 5V supply to the 9602/9602N is connected and the DC voltage on the GPS connector is present, the GPS pass-through path is made available. The GPS path is available even when the 9602/9602N module has been turned off using its ON/OFF control signal. If the GPS port is not used it may be left un-terminated with no adverse affect. o o The GPS receiver must present 50 ohm impedance across the Iridium band or SBD performance could be degraded. o The output return loss is typically -8 dB.

Table 13: Radio Characteristics Parameter 9602 Value 9602N Value Average Power during a transmit slot (max) Receiver sensitivity (Typical level at module connector) Max Cable loss permitted (Note 1) Link Margin Downlink (Note 2) Link Margin Uplink (Note 2) 1.6 W
-117dBm 2dB 13dB 7dB 1.6 W
-116dBm 2dB 13dB 7dB Note 1: Cable losses should be minimized. The total implementation loss for an antenna, connectors, cable, lightening arrestor and any other RF component between the transceiver and the antenna should not exceed 3dB. The total cable loss between the antenna and the modem includes losses in the motherboard. Implementation loss higher than this will affect the Iridium link performance and quality of service. Solutions with a loss higher than 3dB will not meet the requirements of Iridium Solution Certification. Note 2: Link Margins are given assuming a free-space propagation model. 4.6 S-meter Performance The numbers reported over the AT command interface indicate the signal strength of the ring channel. Care should be taken when using the S-meter readings for comparisons between devices. Of particular note are the following:
1. There is a 0.5 dB tolerance on calibrating the S-meter. 2. Each bar represents a 2 dB increment 3. Multiple ring channels can be present at the same time so units can lock to different signals. 4. The Test Interface Card (TIC board) implementation adds about 0.6 dB loss in the antenna path. 5. If the reading is near the decision threshold it would be easy to see a 1 bar difference Iridium Communications Inc.

The screen displays a welcome message and begins the setup process. Follow the on-screen instructions to continue the setup process. Step Two: Set up your airtime plan and Explore account Your inReach Explorer requires a satellite airtime plan and an online Explore account to send and receive messages, much like a mobile phone plan (Note: Your inReach Explorer GPS features will not work without a satellite airtime plan). The inReach uses Iridium's satellite network to track, share information, and send and receive messages. To choose your plan and set up your account, use the DeLorme Explore website:
Go online from your computer to explore.delorme.com and click Get Started then follow the instructions to create a new account. The Explore website prompts you for your IMEI number and Authorization Code; find these in the Setup Wizard on the inReach Explorer device. During the online account setup process, choose your inReach service plan, enter your payment information and contact details, and add your emergency contacts that will be used if your inReach Explorer is placed into SOS mode. Add contacts to your device by selecting the Contacts tab. Link your Twitter and Facebook accounts to share messages with your friends by selecting the Social tab. Set up your MapShare web page to let others follow your trip and send you messages on your inReach Explorer by adjusting the MapShare options on the Social tab. Create some commonly used text messages that are stored in your device, e.g. Busy, will reply later! Select the Messages tab and edit the Quick Text Messages. Write special Preset Messages that you think youll use often, e.g. Just arrived and doing well or Leaving now for my next destination. Select the Messages tab and edit the Preset Messages. Specify a group of recipients to whom youll send regular updates in the form of Preset Messages. Step Three: Check your connection The inReach Explorer needs a clear satellite signal from the sky to complete the setup process. Go outside and stand in an open area away from tall buildings, roof overhangs, and trees. When you set up your Explore account, DeLorme sent you a welcome message for testing your inReach. Your device receives this message during the activation process. When you have a clear view of the sky, press Enter to activate and receive your message. The activation process could take up to 20 minutes. Activation of your inReach with the Iridium satellite network is a one-time step that uses a different process than standard inReach functions. Please be patient while your inReach communicates with the Iridium network for the first time. To read your welcome message, select Messages from the device's home page and choose the new message from DeLorme. Send a test reply to DeLorme. You are allowed five free test messages per month. Select Type Reply, and then type a message using the on-screen keyboard. Press Send. DeLorme sends you an automatic reply when your message is received. Your inReach Explorer listens for waiting messages every 20 minutes by default. Select the Messages page and press Check Now to look for the reply from DeLorme. Setting up your inReach Explorer Step One: Sync your inReach Explorer After activating your inReach Explorer, set up the device with the information you will need while on your trip. On the Explore website, create your Contacts, Preset and Quick Text Messages, Waypoints, Routes, and set up your Social Media links. You can return to the Explore website at any time to change or update this information. After activating your inReach Explorer, set up the device with the information you will need while on your trip. On the Explore website, create your Contacts, Preset and Quick Text Messages, Waypoints, Routes, and set up your Social Media links. You can return to the Explore website at any time to change or update this information. Step Two: Calibrate your digital compass The inReach Explorer uses a digital compass to give accurate heading and bearing information whether youre stationary or moving. The device automatically checks compass calibration and tells you to calibrate when necessary. For best performance, calibrate your digital compass any time the device prompts you, or manually calibrate before a trip when you expect compass use to be important. To manually calibrate the compass, go to Settings>Compass & Altimeter, and then choose Calibrate Compass. Rotate the inReach, turning all six sides of the device to the ground. Continue until the inReach beeps to report successful calibration. Step Three: Calibrate your barometric altimeter The inReach Explorer uses a barometric altimeter to give accurate elevation readings when you are climbing or descending. The device automatically calibrates the barometric altimeter using GPS elevation each time it is powered on. Auto calibrating with GPS elevation is best if you do not know the correct elevation or pressure for your location. For best performance, manually calibrate your barometric altimeter when you can enter the atmospheric pressure from an accurate source like a local weather report. To manually calibrate the altimeter, go to Settings>Compass & Altimeter and choose Calibrate Altimeter. There are three methods to calibrate the altimeter:
Known Elevation Enter the true elevation from a source such as a trail marker or a topographic map. weather report. Known Pressure Enter the atmospheric pressure from a current source such as a local GPS Elevation Use this option if you do not know the correct elevation or pressure. Select a method and follow the on-screen instructions. Note: Manually calibrating disables auto-calibration until the device is restarted. Changes in weather conditions can impact barometric altimeter readings, so consider enabling auto calibration when weather is likely to change. Pairing the inReach Explorer While the inReach Explorer works as a stand-alone device, you have the option of using your inReach Explorer in conjunction with your mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet through a process called pairing. If you choose to pair your mobile device with your inReach, you will have increased functionality including mapping and access to your mobile devices Contacts list.

Checking Messages By default the inReach Explorer listens for waiting messages once every 20 minutes and downloads them. Every time a Message or Track Point is sent, waiting messages are also downloaded. (For example, if your inReach is set to send track points every 10 minutes, the device is also checking for waiting messages every 10 minutes.) Press Check Now to manually check for waiting messages. The Check page shows important information about the message checking process:
Last Check The last time a successful satellite connection was made. Next Listen The next scheduled time the device will check for new messages. Time to Next Listen A countdown timer to the next scheduled check for new messages. Tracking Your Location Track your trip and share your location details online with family and friends from anywhere in the world.

Then select Start Sending to begin, and select Stop Sending when you finish your trip or want to stop sending your trip details. Sharing Your Trip Information Send your friends live updates about your location by turning on MapShare on your Explore account online. Your location information from your device will appear on your MapShare web page that you can share with others using your personal Mapshare URL. Post your personal MapShare page link to social media so your friends and family can visit your Mapshare page to follow your trip and send you messages. From your inReach device, select Tracking> Start Sending to share your information to your MapShare page. You can disable the prompt to send a message with your MapShare information to friends or family members in Settings>Tracking. NOTE: Sending a MapShare link will turn on your MapShare page if you didnt already do so on the Explore website. Password-protect your MapShare page using the MapShare options on the Social tab of your Explore account. Sharing on Social Media Let your family and friends see your progress and updates on Facebook and Twitter. Link your Facebook and Twitter accounts on the Explore website using a computer or tablet. Select the Social tab and enter your usernames and passwords for your accounts. Once youve linked your accounts, youll be able to send updates to them through your inReach device. To send updates from your inReach, go to the Social page. Select the social accounts where you want to post, write your message, and press Send. When you return to the Social page, the social accounts you last selected will automatically be pre-selected. Remember that while you can post to your Facebook and Twitter accounts, replies to those posts will not be sent to you through the inReach. Adjusting the Tracking Intervals The default tracking interval for sending your location information to MapShare is 10 minutes. To change the tracking intervals, go to Settings>Tracking. Tip: Select Share after pressing Start Sending to send a Share message with a MapShare link at the start of your trip to let people know how to follow along. Adjusting the tracking intervals on inReach is not required, but doing so can offer greater flexibility depending on your trip speed and desired level of trip detail. inReach automatically records and stores tracking data in a trip log in the devices memory, whether or not you choose to send your track points to MapShare. Therefore, inReach allows you to adjust two different tracking intervals a send interval and a log interval. The send interval determines how often inReach transmits your tracking data to your MapShare page online. With most of our subscription plans, you can set inReach to transmit your location at intervals ranging from 10 minutes to 4 hours. (DeLormes Extreme subscription plan offers sending intervals as frequently as 2 minutes.) The log interval determines how often inReach records and stores tracking data in the devices memory. Data recorded at the log interval is NOT transmitted via satellite while you are in the field and it does not appear on your Mapshare page until you sync your device. The default log interval when you are sending track points to your MapShare page is 1 minute. The default log interval when you are not sending track points is also 1 minute. Set your inReach to log your location on your device at intervals ranging from 1 second to 10 minutes. A shorter log interval gives a high level of detail but fills the device memory quickly and uses more battery power. Tip: Upload your log data to your Explore account by syncing your device via your computer after your trip. When you are Tracking, info fields appear showing your send and log intervals, how many points are waiting to be sent to Mapshare, and how long until your tracking log is full. Tip: If you notice that several points have been queued for sending, ensure your inReach has a clear view of the sky. When you stop moving, your inReach rests and stops sending and logging new tracking points at normal intervals until you start moving again. A track point is sent once every four hours even when stationary. Tip: Clear the stored log on the Tracking page when starting a new trip to have full log capacity available. Creating Waypoints Mark important locations by creating Waypoints. Select Waypoints from the Home page of your inReach device. Choose New Waypoint or select the New Waypoint shortcut after pressing Enter twice on the Map page. After creating the waypoint, edit the name, symbol, and location details to more easily reference it. If you know the coordinates of your destination, mark the Waypoint ahead of time by creating a new Waypoint and then editing the Location field. Tip: If your known coordinates do not match the current inReach Explorer coordinates format, change the format in Settings>Units. Waypoints you create during your trip are also sent to your Explore and MapShare web pages for others to see. Navigating to a Destination Select a Waypoint, Message, or other location you would like to travel toward and choose Navigate. The Map page appears showing your current position, your selected destination, and an orange-highlighted route connecting the two locations. As you travel, a Finish field on the map reports the distance from your current location to your destination. The Map page rotates to show your direction of travel at the top of the map. The page always defaults to show your position and your destination on the map when Navigating. If you zoom in or out, the Map page returns to its default view when you press Quit to exit zoom mode. Tip: Change the map orientation and auto zoom options in Settings>Map. The Compass page shows Bearing and Distance information between your current location and the destination. A green arrow shows you how to stay on course as you move toward your finish. Viewing the Map The Map page shows your current location and your Tracking line along with any Messages or Track Points you have sent. Messages received from other inReach users appear on the Map page. Waypoints also appear on the Map page. Press the Enter button to display shortcuts for zooming in or out. Press the Up arrow to zoom in and the Down arrow to zoom out. Press the Enter button again to display shortcuts for picking and marking a Waypoint. Press the Up arrow to pick objects under the panned cursor location and press the Down arrow to mark a Waypoint. When not zooming or picking/marking Waypoints, press the directional arrows to pan the map and place the cursor over objects. When you select an object on the map, a Details page appears for the selected point. Press the Quit button to exit the controls for Pan, Zoom, or Pick/Mark Waypoint. Using the Compass The Compass page offers two modes that provide useful information when tracking without a destination or when navigating a route. While Tracking: View your current speed, elevation, and heading with the Compass page along with a rotating compass graphic that shows your heading in relation to the cardinal compass points. Speed The current speed according to GPS readings. Elevation The elevation of the device, calculated using the Barometric Altimeter and/or GPS. Heading The direction your device is facing, based on the digital compass reading, expressed in both cardinal direction and degrees true or magnetic north. While Navigating: View your destination, distance to finish, and bearing or course to the finish. A rotating compass graphic shows your heading, and a green arrow represents the bearing to your destination. Waypoint The name and symbol of the route destination. Distance The distance remaining from your current location to the finish. Bearing/Course The compass reading you must follow to arrive at your destination. NOTE: The Bearing field changes to display the Course when the inReach Explorer is moving. The device gathers location information from the GPS rather than the digital compass when in motion. Declaring an SOS NOTE: Only use SOS in a real emergency. From the Home page, press SOS, then select Emergency, and then select Compose to view the SOS page. Type the details of your emergency or select an SOS Preset Message and press Send. Tip: Unlock the SOS slider and hold the SOS button on the inReach Explorer to contact Emergency Response. Your message is sent to Emergency Response along with details of your location. When they receive your message, they respond with an acknowledgement, which appears in the SOS page. Reply to this message to let Emergency Response know that you are capable of interacting with them during the rescue. Your inReach sends an updated location report to Emergency Response every minute for the first 10 minutes of your SOS. To conserve battery power, location updates are subsequently sent every 10 minutes when moving and every 30 minutes when stationary. If you decide that you no longer need assistance, cancel your SOS message by selecting Cancel from the SOS page or by holding down the SOS button. Your inReach needs to successfully transmit this cancel request and receive a confirmation from Emergency Response before it returns to normal operation. Note: It is not possible to turn off your inReach Explorer when in SOS mode or when cancelling SOS mode. While your device is in SOS mode, the Status Bar will be highlighted in red until you cancel the SOS. Use the Earthmate App If you chose to pair your inReach Explorer to a mobile device during the setup process, you can use the Earthmate app for increased functionality. The mobile device and the inReach must stay within Bluetooth range of each other to use the Earthmate app during your trip. Tip: Make sure Bluetooth is turned on in your mobile devices settings to ensure it is successfully paired with the inReach. Download detailed topographic maps and NOAA nautical charts to use on your trip. Once downloaded, your maps are available through the Earthmate app throughout your trip. Tip: Download maps prior to leaving for your trip. The Earthmate app requires either a wi-fi connection or cellular coverage for map downloads. Use the Earthmate app on your mobile device to send and receive Messages or to start and stop Tracking via the inReach Explorer. All of your Messages and Tracking Points appear on your Earthmate app map showing your travel. Tip: Send a message from your vehicle or select Start Tracking to mark your starting point on your Earthmate app map. Messages sent using the Earthmate app or the inReach Explorer appear on both devices. Share a coordinate with someone else via a Message. Tap on the Earthmate app map to send a Reference Point with a coordinate for a location even if you arent currently at that location. (For example: Meet me here in four hours.) NOTE: An Earthmate app update is currently in development to bring the same Waypoint, Tracking, and Routes features found in the inReach Explorer to your mobile device.

Activating your inReach Explorer You must activate your inReach directly with DeLorme using the DeLorme Activation Portal and DeLorme Airtime Plans. Use of this device is governed by the Terms and Conditions outlined at files.delorme.com/support/inreachwebdocs/TC_inReach_ Consumer_US.pdf. If you do not agree to these Terms and Conditions, please return the inReach to the place of purchase or contact DeLorme Customer Care directly at contact.delorme.com. Step One: Power on your device. Turn your inReach Explorer on by holding down the power button until the Power On screen displays. Press the Left Arrow and then Enter. The screen will display a welcome message and begin the setup process. Follow the on-screen instructions to continue the setup process. Step Two: Set up your airtime plan and Explore account. Your inReach Explorer requires a satellite airtime plan and an online Explore account to send and receive messages, much like a mobile phone plan (Note: Your inReach Explorer GPS features will not work without a satellite airtime plan). inReach uses Iridium's satellite network to track, share information, and send and receive messages. To choose your plan and set up your account, use the DeLorme Explore website:
3 inReach Explorer Quick Start Guide Go online from your computer to explore.delorme.com and Write special Preset Messages that you think youll use often, e.g. Just arrived and doing well or Leaving now for my next destination. Select the Messages tab and edit the Preset Messages. Specify a group of recipients to whom youll send your regular updates. Preset Messages let you send a message you created ahead of time to a list of people you specified when creating the preset. You can send this message with just a few button presses. A Quick Text Message is a message you know youll use often when replying to or sending messages, and you dont want to type it each time. Send it with just a few button presses. Step Three: Check your connection. inReach Explorer needs a clear satellite signal from the sky to complete the setup process. Go outside and stand in an open area away from tall buildings, roof overhangs and trees. When you set up your Explore account, DeLorme sent you a welcome message for testing your inReach. Your device will receive this message during the activation process. When you have a clear view of the sky, press Enter to activate and receive your message. follow the instructions. You will be prompted for your IMEI number and Authorization Code; find these in the Setup Wizard on inReach Explorer. During the online account setup process, you'll choose your inReach service plan, enter your payment information and contact details, and add your emergency contacts that will be used if your inReach Explorer is placed into SOS mode. During the setup process you should also add the following details to prepare your inReach Explorer:
Add contacts to your device by selecting the Contacts tab. Link your Twitter and Facebook accounts to share messages with your friends. Set up your MapShare web page to let others follow your trip and send you messages on your inReach Explorer. Create some commonly used text messages that will be stored in your device, e.g. Busy, will reply later! Select the Messages tab and edit the Quick Text Messages. 4 The activation process could take up to 20 minutes. Activation of your inReach with the Iridium satellite network is a one-time step that uses a different process than standard inReach functions. Please be patient while your inReach communicates with the Iridium network for the first time. To read your welcome message, select Messages from the device's Home page and choose the new message from DeLorme. Send a test reply to DeLorme. You are allowed five free test messages per month. Select Type Reply, and then type a message using the on-screen keyboard. Press Send. DeLorme will send you an automatic reply when your message is received. Your inReach Explorer will listen for waiting messages every 20 minutes by default. Use the Check page and press Check Now to look for the reply from DeLorme.

After activating your inReach Explorer, set up the device with the information you will need while on your trip. During the activation process on the Explore website, you should have created your Contacts, Preset and Quick Text Messages, and set up your Social Media links. You can return to the Explore website at any time to change or update this information. Once youve made sure all of your Contacts, Preset Messages, and Quick Text Messages have been created, and your Social Media accounts have been connected, sync your inReach Explorer with your Explore account. Connect your inReach to your computer using your micro-USB cable. Go to the Sync tab in your online Explore account, and follow the directions on that page to add all of your information to the device. Step Two: Calibrate your digital compass. inReach Explorer uses a digital compass to give accurate heading and bearing information whether youre stationary or moving. The device automatically checks compass calibration and will tell you to calibrate if necessary. For best performance, calibrate your digital compass any time the device prompts you or manually calibrate before a trip when you expect compass use to be important. To manually calibrate the compass, go to Settings>Compass &
Altimeter, and then choose Calibrate Compass. Rotate inReach in a figure-8 pattern, turning all sides of the device to the ground, and continue until the device beeps to report successful calibration. Step Three: Calibrate your barometric altimeter. inReach Explorer uses a barometric altimeter to give accurate elevation readings when you are climbing or descending. The device automatically calibrates the barometric altimeter using GPS elevation each time it is powered on. Auto calibrating with GPS elevation is a good method if you do not know the correct elevation or pressure for your location. For best performance, manually calibrate your barometric altimeter before any trip during which high-
accuracy elevation readings are important. To manually calibrate the altimeter, go to Settings>Compass
& Altimeter and choose Calibrate Altimeter. There are three methods to calibrate the altimeter:
Known Elevation Enter the true elevation from a source such as a trail marker or a topographic map. Known Pressure Enter the atmospheric pressure from a current source such as a local weather report. GPS Elevation Use this option if you do not know the correct elevation or pressure. Select a method and follow the on-screen instructions. Note: Manually calibrating disables auto calibration until the device is restarted. Changes in weather conditions can impact barometric altimeter readings, so consider enabling auto calibration in these situations. 7 inReach Explorer Quick Start Guide Using the Earthmate App with your inReach Explorer Step One: Download the Earthmate app to your mobile device. While inReach Explorer works as a stand-alone device, you have the option of using your inReach Explorer in conjunction with your mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet through a process called pairing. Pairing your mobile device provides access to your phone or tablets address book and keyboard, as well as the ability to use Earthmate for the most critical inReach functions, including messaging, SOS, tracking, waypoints, routes, and unlimited access to download topographic maps and US NOAA charts. Download the free Earthmate app by visiting your mobile device's app store. The Earthmate app is available from the App StoreSM and Google Play.

Select inReach from the list of available devices on your Bluetooth menu. The devices must be within Bluetooth range to pair with each other. Your inReach will notify you when it has successfully paired with your mobile device. You only need to pair the devices once; from then on, the devices will communicate with each other anytime they are both turned on and Bluetooth is active. Your inReach will only pair with one device at a time. If you want to change the mobile device with which your inReach is paired, you will need to unpair it first. To unpair inReach Explorer go to Settings>Bluetooth>Connected and select Forget this device. With Bluetooth turned on, go to the Settings of your mobile device and select inReach from the list of devices. On an Android, select
"Unpair"; on an Apple device, select "Forget this device." After you have unpaired your inReach and mobile device, you can go through the pairing process again with a new mobile device.

Press Send to send your message. 9 inReach Explorer Quick Start Guide Tracking Track your trip and share your location details online with family and friends from anywhere in the world. Tracking allows you to send your trip details, including GPS coordinates, course, elevation and speed to your MapShare page online. To get started, select Tracking from the inReach Home page. Then select Start Sending to begin, and select Stop Sending when you finish your trip or want to stop sending your trip details. Adjusting the tracking intervals The default tracking interval for sending your location information to MapShare is 10 minutes. To change the tracking intervals, go to Settings>Tracking. Using the Extended Tracking mode (with a clear view to the sky) can increase the device's battery life by days or even weeks. Messaging and SOS are still available in this mode, but some features are automatically disabled. See the online help manual for details on use. Adjusting the tracking intervals on inReach is not required, but doing so can offer greater flexibility depending on your trip speed and desired level of trip detail. inReach will automatically record and store tracking data in a trip log in the devices memory, whether or not you choose to send your track points to 10 MapShare. Therefore, inReach allows you to adjust two different tracking intervals a send interval and a log interval. The send interval determines how often inReach transmits your tracking data to your MapShare page online. With most of our subscription plans, you can set inReach to transmit your location at intervals ranging from 10 minutes to 4 hours. DeLormes Extreme subscription plan offers sending intervals as frequently as 2 minutes. The log interval determines how often inReach records and stores tracking data in the devices memory. The default log interval when you are sending track points to your MapShare page is 5 minutes. The default log interval when you are not sending track points is 10 minutes. Data recorded at the log interval is NOT transmitted via satellite while you are in the field. (Note: Upload your log data to your Explore account by syncing your device via your computer after your trip.) Set your inReach to log your location on your device at intervals ranging from 1 second to 4 hours. A shorter log interval will give a high level of detail but will fill the device memory quickly and use more battery power. Note: Clear the stored log on the Tracking page when starting a new trip to have full log capacity available. SOS Request emergency help with your inReach device by selecting SOS. Please use the SOS function only in a real emergency situation. Your inReach device will contact GEOS, our 24/7 search and rescue monitoring center, who will then dispatch help to your location.

Use of this device is governed by the Terms and Conditions outlined at files.delorme.com/support/inreachwebdocs/TC_inReach_ Consumer_US.pdf. If you do not agree to these Terms and Conditions, please return the inReach to the place of purchase or contact DeLorme Customer Care directly at contact.delorme.com. Step One: Power on your device. Turn your inReach SE on by holding down the power button until the Power On screen displays. Press the Left Arrow and then Enter. The screen will display a welcome message and begin the setup process. Follow the on-screen instructions to continue the setup process. Step Two: Set up your airtime plan and Explore account. Your inReach SE requires a satellite airtime plan and an online Explore account to send and receive messages, much like a mobile phone plan. inReach uses Iridium's satellite network to track, share information, and send and receive messages. To choose your plan and set up your account, use the DeLorme Explore website:
Go online from your computer to explore.delorme.com and follow the instructions. You will be prompted for your IMEI number and Authorization Code; find these in the Setup Wizard on the inReach SE device. During the online account setup process, you'll choose your inReach service plan, enter your payment information and contact details, and add your emergency contacts that will be used if your inReach SE is placed into SOS mode. During the setup process you should also add the following details to prepare your inReach SE:
Add contacts to your device by selecting the Contacts tab. Link your Twitter and Facebook accounts to share messages with your friends. Set up your MapShare web page to let others follow your trip and send you messages on your inReach SE. Create some commonly used text messages that will be stored in your device, e.g. Busy, will reply later! Select the Messages tab and edit the Quick Text Messages. Write special Preset Messages that you think youll use often, e.g. Just arrived and doing well or Leaving now for my next destination. Select the Messages tab and edit the Preset Messages. Specify a group of recipients to whom youll send your regular updates. Preset Messages let you send a message you created ahead of time to a list of people you specified when creating the preset. You can send this message with just a few button presses. A Quick Text Message is a message you know youll use often when replying to or sending messages, and you dont want to type it each time. Send it with just a few button presses. Step Three: Check your connection. inReach SE needs a clear satellite signal from the sky to complete the setup process. Go outside and stand in an open area away from tall buildings, roof overhangs and trees. When you set up your Explore account, DeLorme sent you a welcome message for testing your inReach. Your device will receive this message during the activation process. When you have a clear view of the sky, press Enter to activate and receive your message. 5 inReach SE Quick Start Guide The activation process could take up to 20 minutes. Activation of your inReach with the Iridium satellite network is a one-time step that uses a different process than standard inReach functions. Please be patient while your inReach communicates with the Iridium network for the first time. To read your welcome message, select Messages from the device's Home page and choose the new message from DeLorme. Send a test reply to DeLorme. You are allowed five free test messages per month. Select Type Reply, and then type a message using the on-screen keyboard. Press Send. DeLorme will send you an automatic reply when your message is received. Your inReach SE will listen for waiting messages every 20 minutes by default. Use the Check page and press Check Now to look for the reply from DeLorme. Use the Check Now feature if you are only turning inReach SE on briefly to check for messages before powering off again. Time GPS Signal Sending Messages Waiting 6 Charging/

A 3D fix indicates a strong GPS satellite signal and accurate location information. Messages Waiting The number next to the envelope icon and the Messages page icon tells you how many unread messages are waiting. Bluetooth The Bluetooth icon appears when Bluetooth is turned on. The icon is highlighted when a mobile device is connected to your inReach. Charging A lightning bolt icon lets you know you are connected to external power and charging. A percentage appears to tell you how full your battery is. When the device reaches 100%, the lightning bolt is replaced with a plug icon to indicate the device is running from external power.

PeCe Naas OMNES TUV SUD BABT TCB Octagon House Concorde Way Segensworth North Fareham Hampshire, PO15 SRL, UK 1.45 FCC Modular Approval Requirements FCC ID: Q639603N To Whom It May Concern:
Please be advised that the above-referenced model be approved for modular approval in accordance with the FCC Rules and Regulations listed below with a description in italics following each rule:
7) The radio elements must have the radio frequency circuitry shielded. Physical/discrete and turning capacitors may be located external to the shield, but must be on the module assembly;
All of the circuits on the radio PCB are shielded by a metal fence and lid on the top and bottom Oy CAC ii) The module must have buffered modulation/data inputs to ensure that the device will comply with Part 15 requirements with any type of input signal;
The modules serial data/fax serial interface is buffered through a UART component in the Iridium DBB ASIC. The interface signals also pass though ESD protection and EMI suppression circuitry. The module must contain power supply regulation on the module;
The module includes power supply regulation translation the +5V power input provided through the user interface connector into a variety of power rails used internally at voltages of
+1.2V through +3.3V as per the schematic. iv) The module must contain a permanently attached antenna, or contain a unique antenna connector, and be marketed and operated only with specific antenna(s), per Sections 15.203, 15.204(b), 15.204(c), 15.212(a), 2.929(b);

VC CAYACMUROOL LOC ACRE CKY CMR AT Me (COC vi) The module must be labelled with its permanently affixed FCC ID label, or use an electronic display (See KDB Publication 997198 about labelling requirements);
A product approval label listing the modules FCC ID is affixed externally on one side of the 9603N (the IMEI label is affixed externally on the opposite side). vii) | The module must comply with all specific rules applicable to the transmitter. The grantee must provide comprehensive instructions to explain compliance requirements;
Instructions are provided in the Iridium 9603N Developers Guide. viii) | The module must comply with RF exposure requirements. For any transmitters intended for use in portable devices, SAR compliance must be demonstrated to be independent of the host device. See KDB Publication 447498 Item 2) as a guide to determine if a transmitter can be tested without being limited to a host device. I SAR compliance can only be demonstrated in specific host types or platforms, then the module type must be limited. The module has not undergone formal SAR compliance testing at this time and is specified as limited (i.e. non-portable). The MPE RF Exposure exhibit provided demonstrates compliance to General Population limits at 20cm distance. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, Hermon Pon VP, Technology Development and Network Engineering
