If the right most part of the signal strength bar is grey, it indicates that the level has previously
been higher than the current level.
4.
When you have the highest signal strength you
can obtain, press
OK
on the keypad.
The EXPLORER 500 now tries to establish a connection to the BGAN network.
The display shows the progress as follows:
•
SEARCHING
:
The EXPLORER 500 searches for the network operator. Note that the search procedure can
be very short, so you may not see this text.
•
REGISTERING
:
The EXPLORER 500 is registering itself on the network.
If the GPS position has not yet been acquired at this point, the display may show
NO GPS
. For further information, see the Troubleshooting Guide on page 143.
•
READY
or
DATA
:
READY
means the EXPLORER 500 is registered on the network and is ready to go online. If
you have already connected a computer, the display shows
DATA
instead of
READY
.
CANCEL
:
If you press
C
instead of
OK
, you exit the pointing menu and the display shows the Main
screen with the message
POINT NOW?
.
If the PIN has been accepted, you now have access to the menu system, but you will not be able to
connect to the BGAN network, because the signal strength has not yet been accepted.
WARNING!
After accepting the signal strength, keep the minimum safety
distance of 0.6 m to the antenna. The antenna may radiate microwave power as
soon as the signal strength is accepted.
Note
The display may show a different text than
READY
or
DATA
if there is more important
information to show. For example, the display will show
ENTER PIN?
if you pressed C
at the first request for a PIN. See also the Troubleshooting Guide on page 143.
