SHOUT 3G User Guide (Version 1.0.0)

Quick Start
Airtime services must first be purchased for Iridium, cellular or both before use.
Iridium airtime can be purchased directly from NAL Research or from any of
Iridium certified airtime resellers. Any cellular SIM including prepaid SIM will work
on the SHOUT 3G.
User is encouraged to read the entire manual to learn on how to operate the 3G
as a messaging device. As a tracking device, user can quickly set up the 3G with
just a few simple steps shown below. However, a server is required to receive
tracking reports.
1.
Turn the 3G on by holding down the power/back button for about
two seconds.
2.
Go to Tracking/Format menu to set the report format.
3.
Go to Tracking/Links menu to select a network(s).
4.
Go to Tracking/Rpt Rate menu to set the reporting rate and turn
tracking on. The 3G is now in tracking mode and ready to send position
reports. No further action is required. The unit automatically goes to
“sleep” in between reports.
IMPORTANT: NAL Research can enable the SHOUT 3G for use on the Iridium
DoD EMSS Gateway (only for the Iridium network and not cellular network).
However, accessing the EMSS Gateway is not authorized until the SHOUT 3G is
provisioned (sign up for airtime). Unauthorized attempts to access the EMSS
Gateway will result in immediate disabling of the offending device, which must
then be returned to NAL Research for repair. Please see webpage
for more information regarding DoD EMSS service
provisioning.
