Installing the Handset

The handset can be mounted using a standard-sized microphone clip mount (included).

Select a mounting position for the handset. The handset should be placed in a location which is easy for the user to see and reach (arm’s length) and which does not impede the user’s movements or vehicle operation.

The handset is rated for 25 feet of cable. CAT5 or better is recommended. The handset comes equipped with 6 foot coiled type cable.

Commissioning Procedure

In order for the unit to operate on the MSAT Network, it must first be commissioned – authorized for use. This task is generally only performed by qualified service personnel.

If the unit has never been commissioned, it will power up in dealer mode. You can also access this function even after the unit has been commissioned if you are authorized to do so.

1.Power up the radio and press the 5 key within 1 second of the appearance of the “SEARCHING” message on display.

2.You are prompted to enter the DEALER PASSWORD (authorized personnel will have this password). Type it in and press OK.

3.You are then prompted to select the antenna type: TRACKING (for mobile applications) or OTHER (for future applications). Use the arrow keys to scroll to the appropriate option and press SELECT.

4.You are then prompted for each of the Commission Parameters: Control Channel Frequency (CFC), Pilot Channel Frequency (PFC), and Security Access Code (SASK). In each case, you are asked to type in the parameter and then press STORE to go onto the next parameter.

5.After you enter the set of values, a CONTINUE? Prompt asks you if you want to proceed with commissioning. Press YES to continue or NO to cancel the commissioning process. If you choose to proceed, two screens are displayed in succession:

COMMISSIONING indicates the general commissioning process is underway

COM: PVT indicates the Performance Verification Test is underway.

If the entire commissioning process is successful a COM: SUCCESS screen is displayed. Control then reverts to the initial Idle Mode screen.

If commissioning is not successful, you will receive a failure message (Network indicates that commissioning has failed, refer to figure 22 – Error Code Diagnostics on the following pages). Contact your Service Provider for assistance.
