Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of your QUALCOMM

Globalstar GSP-2800/2900 Fixed Satellite Phone!

The QUALCOMM Globalstar Fixed Satellite Phone (QGFS P)

is easy to use, versatile, and dependable. It combines the ready

availability of a two-wire telephone interface with the sup erior

performance of a state-of-the-art digital wireless technology

known as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), and the

Globalstar system.

Your QGFSP consists of the following: a radio antenna unit

(RAU), a junction box that minimizes damage from lightning

strikes, a power supply, a telephone, and assorted cabling.

Note

In this book, we call the complete unit, including your

telephone, the QUALCOMM Globalstar Fixed

Satellite Phone or QGFSP. When we talk about the

QGFSP, we’re talking about your entire Globalstar

installation, not just your telephone.

These elements allow you to make and receive telephone calls

using the Globalstar satellite system. The Globalstar system

makes clear, high quality voice, data, and fax communications

possible.

Note

Data and fax require network support. Please contact

your service provider to see if these features are

available in your area.

The QGFSP equipment required to make and receiv e telephone

calls over the Globalstar system must be installed and

maintained by your service provider. The inside wiring may

have been installed before you purchased the QGFSP. If not,

you or your service provider need to prepare your building for

telephone service.
