About Your Phone

Globalstar/GSM 900

The R290 phone operates in either Globalstar satellite or GSM 900 cellular mode.

Operators & Subscriptions

Before you can use your phone you must obtain a dual-mode subscription to a network. The services included in your dual mode subscription depend on your choice of operator and/or subscription. Therefore, some of the services and functions described in this manual may not be accessible to you. For a complete list of the services included in your subscription, please contact your service provider.

SIM Card

You will receive a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card with your subscription. The SIM card must be a dual mode SIM card in order for your phone to operate in both GSM and Satellite modes.

The SIM card contains a computer chip that keeps track of your phone number, the services you ordered from your service provider and your Phone Book information, among other things.

NOTE:

If a single mode SIM is inserted the phone will not work unless it is set to operate in that mode, i.e. GSM only or Satellite only, see “Mode Switch” on page 11.

Your PIN

Your operator will provide you with a security code or Personal Identity Number (PIN) when you receive your SIM card. This number allows you to access the network. The first time you turn on your phone you are prompted to enter your PIN (if the PIN is activated.) Your PIN may also be required when you change settings in your phone. Some services require a second PIN, the PIN2.

Enter your PIN carefully. If you enter your PIN incorrectly three times in succession, the SIM card will be blocked. If this happens you can unlock it by using a Personal Unblocking Key (PUK) code. Contact your operator to obtain this code. See “Unblocking with Personal Unblocking Key (PUK)” on page 40.

Store your PIN in a safe place. It is your protection against unauthorized use of your phone. Do not write it on your phone or place it where someone might see it.
