RADIATION WARNING
RADIO FREQUENCY RADIATION
HAZARD - KEEP CLEAR
2 METRES MINIMUM
High levels of radio frequency radiation are considered health hazardous.
Although no single value of “safe radiation level” has been agreed upon by all
countries, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI/LEEE C95.1-1992)
recommends that people should not be exposed to radiation stronger than
1 milliwatt per square centimetre at the frequencies used in the
WORLDCOMMUNICATOR terminal. Accordingly, the operator of the terminal
should ensure that the area extending 2 metres from the front of the antenna be
kept clear of personnel when the terminal is transmitting.
OBTAINING LICENSING FOR INMARSAT TERMINALS
Under rights given under ITU Radio Regulations, local telecommunications administrations establish and enforce
national rules and regulations governing types of emissions, power levels, and other parameters that effect the
purity of signal, which may be radiated in the various frequency bands of the radio spectrum.
To legally operate an Inmarsat terminal, it is necessary to obtain permission from the local telecommunications
regulatory authorities of the country you are operating within. Using your terminal in any country without
permission causes you to run the risk of confiscation of the terminal or legal action from local authorities. Normal
practice for taking telecommunications into another country is to apply for a license before travel. If a license has
not been obtained before travel, the equipment may be put into storage by local authorities until such time as a
license is obtained.
All specifications are subject to change without notice.

SIM card
The SIM card carries subscription information from
your Net service provider on an integrated circuit.
The WorldCommunicator used with the SIM card
assumes the identity of the SIM card.
The SIM card has its own set of Inmarsat Mobile
Numbers (IMN) on which the user can be contacted
irrespective of the WorldCommunicator used.
All outgoing calls will be billed to the owner of the
SIM card.
The SIM card is protected by a SIM PIN (Personal
Identification Number). Contact your Net service
provider if you do not have the PIN code.
If the PIN code entered does not match the PIN code
on the SIM card, operation with that particular SIM
card will lock-up after three failed attempts. You must
then use the SIM un-block code (PUK code) provided by your Net service provider to un-lock the
card. Contact your Net service provider if you do not
have the PUK code.
Note!
When the PUK is used, the SIM PIN is set to 1 2 3 4.
To change or disable the PIN code, see "Access
level" in the User Guide.
The SIM card can store various information, f.ex.:
• PIN code (Personal Identification Number)
• Phone book
• Allowed and preferred Net service providers
Note! When using SIM card, the accessibility of the
WorldCommunicator functions will depend on the
card supplier.
PIN code
The user is prompted for the 4-8 digit Personal
Identification Number each time the
WorldCommunicator is switched on:
• SIM PIN? (with SIM card).
• Phone PIN? (without SIM card).
The PIN protection can be disabled, see "Access
level" in the User Guide.

If not programming the Terminal Id and the corresponding MSN into the WorldCommunicator, all
periferal devices with the appropriate service will
respond to incoming calls.
To make an incoming call reach a particular device,
an MSN number and the Terminal Id “connected” to
the IMN number must be programmed into the
Modem Unit. The same MSN number must then be
programmed into the device.
