Troubleshooting

Q: 

How do I test my Globalstar phone?

A: 

To test your Globalstar phone and to ensure that it is
working properly, call the following number from the
handset: 

#8378 (#TEST)

. This is a free call. 

Q:

How do I charge the battery?

A: Install only Qualcomm batteries

; check that the

battery contacts are clean and dry; check the charger
connection; check the battery temperature. If it is too
warm allow it to cool before recharging it. Replace the
battery if it is several years old.

Q: 

What happens if my battery is draining quickly?

A: 

Check that your Globalstar satellite antenna is pointing
straight up and has clear view of the sky to conserve
battery life. Set the backlight option to 

“OFF”

. Replace

the battery if it is several years old. Check the battery
temperature. If temperatures are too warm or too cold,
battery life is decreased. 

Q: 

I’m having a problem making/receiving calls.

A: 

Rotate or fully extend the appropriate antenna. In
Globalstar satellite mode, be sure the satellite antenna
has a clear view of the sky. Check that you selected the
correct service mode:

• Press and hold 

<*>

to display the mode menu, and

press ‘

2’

for Globalstar.

• Remove all service providers from the 

Prohibited

List

• If 

“Service Not Found”

displays, check the auto

preference and mode selection settings.
