NOTE:
It may take up to 20 minutes to activate your device.
The device must send and receive several messages, which
takes longer than sending a single message during regular
use.
Iridium Satellite Network
Your device requires a clear view of the sky to transmit
messages and track points over the Iridium satellite network.
Without a clear view of the sky, your device attempts to send the
information until it acquires satellite signals.
TIP:
For the best connection with satellites, attach the device to
a backpack or to your upper body.

Checking for Messages
Your device listens for new messages at regular listen intervals.
Satellites announce recently sent messages, and your device
receives the message at the next listen interval. The default
interval is 10 minutes.
NOTE:
Your device must be in view of a satellite at the time of
the listen to receive messages.
You can force a check for messages by manually checking for
messages, sending a message, or sending a track point. During
a check, your device connects to satellites and receives
messages waiting to be sent to your device.
TIP:
You can adjust the listen interval to maximize battery life
