Follow these simple steps to set up the XX25 and connect it to the EXPLORER™ 700:
Step 1: Install a fuel cartridge in the XX25. Step 2: Turn the power switch on the fuel cell to “ON”. It is recommended to allow airflow on all sides of the XX25 for cooling purposes. Step 3: The EXPLORER™ 700 battery must be inserted before you connect the XX25 fuel cell. The EXPLORER™ 700 continuously measures the battery temperature and will automatically ensure that charging only occurs if the battery temperature is within the range of 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F). The green Power LED will flash rapidly if outside above-mentioned temperature range. Step 4: Use the UltraCell tether to connect the XX25 to the EXPLORER™ 700 terminal. Connect the other end of the cable to the DC input connector on the EXPLORER™ 700. Step 5: The green LED left to the display is constantly lit as long as the battery is charging (figure 4). When the battery is fully recharged, the green LED is turned Off. If the EXPLORER™ 700 is switched on, the green LED will be flashing shortly every 2 seconds when fully charged. The XX25 can run unattended and will shut down automatically if power output drops below 7-8 EXPLORER™ 700 terminal is about fully charged). The XX25 can be restarted by simply switching it Off and On again. It is recommended to change the Power Up Mode setting in the EXPLORER™ 700 to Manual, so it does not power up automatically each time the fuel cell is connected. Please follow below steps to set it up.
Step 1: Press the▼ button. Step 2: Press the ▼ button until SETTINGS appear. Press OK. Step 3: Press the ▼ button until POWER UP MODE appears. Press the OK button. Step 4: Press the ▼ button once and select MANUAL by pressing OK.
You can preserve power by following below guidelines: · Point the EXPLORER™ antenna carefully to obtain best possible signal strength. · Upgrade the EXPLORER™ 700 software version to 1.02 or latest software release (Advanced Power Management). · Switch Off the EXPLORER™ 700 when not used. · Turn Off interfaces not being used (please refer to EXPLORER™ 700 User Manual, Chapter 4). Following was tested and measurements were performed: #1 Start-up time @ 20ºC (68ºF) ambient temperature was measured to 30 minutes. #2 hours 25 minutes. The fuel cell switched off automatically and the EXPLORER™ 700 internal battery was at that point charged to 100%. #3 network (ready to receive incoming calls) was tested to be approx. 3 h 15 min. The fuel cell switched off automatically and the EXPLORER™ 700 internal battery was at that point charged to 99%. #4 One 250cc cartridge was able to fully charge two EXPLORER™ 700 batteries from 0 to 100%. *** NOTE *** Effective January 2007, the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) has agreed to a new provision allowing passengers and crew of commercial aircraft to carry onboard portable electronic devices powered by fuel cell systems, along with spare fuel cartridges (IEC PAS 62282-6-1). Regulations vary depending on country. Please contact UltraCell for more information. When connected to the BGAN network, dial 57# or +870772001899. You will then be required to follow the recorded message. You will be asked to select a PIN number (4 characters or more), then you will be asked to leave your name. Finally you will be asked to set-up a greeting message. When you receive a voicemail the network will send an SMS message to the terminal to inform you. You can then dial the short code 57# to pick up your voice mail message. Full Voicemail Procedures/Wording Below. "Good afternoon.

And Inmarsat has prepared a small software file, available for download here, which automatically configures the client computer or server. The window size on an IP connection effectively sets the number of packets ¿in flight¿ between origin and destination, at any given time. Setting an optimum window size is particularly relevant for channel Partners undertaking customer demonstrations, and for end-users users who frequently access the same servers with applications such as FTP (e.g. media customers, or corporate customers accessing intranet sites). The optimum window size for BGAN is 128k (default setting on many systems is 64k).

We cannot guarantee that problems resulting from modifications to the registry can be solved. Use the information provided at your own risk. Inmarsat will not be liable for any issues or problems that may arise in using this software. To set the window size for systems running Windows XP or Windows 2003, follow the instructions below: How to use automatic registry key entry to manage a client computer 1. Inmarsat supplies two .reg files that will automatically configure the client computer or server to use the recommended TCP parameters. Choose the appropriate file to match your operating system. 2. The two files are: 3. Save the relevant .zip to your desktop and uncompress. 4. Double click the .reg file to change parameters. When the following screen appears click "yes" to continue: 5. When the following screen appears click "OK" to finish. 6. Re-boot your PC for the changes to take effect. Note: Windows NT does not support windows scaling and therefore only supports a 64k window size. Hence running Windows NT over BGAN will give a lower performance than other operating systems. How to configure TCP parameters manually Use the following settings when configuring the TCP parameters. Please ensure you re-boot after the settings have been entered.
