IsatDock2 Drive (ISD2 DRIVE) FAQ

Powering Up/Restarting
My unit powers off once the ignition is switched off or the key is removed after 20 minutes.
This is normal operation; however, connecting the ACC cable to a constant power source on the
vehicle/vessel will rectify this, if such an operation scenario is required.

No Power on IsatDOCK
Check power is connected to the interface unit.
If applicable, check the vehicle ignition is in ACC or IGN or ON position.
Ensure the Connector cable to the IsatDOCK is firmly fitted.
Check al lthe connection cables to and from the IsatDOCK.

IsatPhone Pro does not stay powered on

Remove the IsatPhone Pro, remove the battery and reinsert again into the docking station
ensuring the connection is firm and clicks into place.

The IsatPhone Pro prompts me "Enable charging? Y/N"

If the IsatPhone has firmware version 4.0.0 loaded, this message will appear when the phone is
powered on for the first time. Please select Y (Yes) to enable charging.
This message will not appear again, unless the phone is reset to factory defaults via the menu.
If you do accidently select N, you will need to re-upgrade the firmware on the IsatPhone Pro and
select reset to factory defaults.

My battery has stopped charging?

After the IsatPhone handset in the IsatDOCK becomes 100% fully charged, the battery will stop
charging until the voltage drops below 4.1V. Then it will start charging again, provided the
Internal Board Temperature of the IsatDOCK (taken from Falcon) is less than or equal to 38C. The
IsatPhone Pro battery is a lithiumion cell which has a safety temperature range whilst charging of
0 to 45 degrees Celsius (32 to 113 degrees Fahrenheit). Due to the increased heating effects on
the IsatPhone Pro handset whilst it is docked and being charged, it is ideal for the ambient
temperature to be at least 18 degrees below the 45oC upper limit for the handset to charge the
battery whilst docked. If the battery temperature exceeds this limit, then the IsatPhone Pro may
cease charging until the temperature is reduced. The battery itself will not charge until the core
temperature drops below the 45C point.

SIGNAL / ANTENNA

Can I use any kind of cable in combination with my Inmarsat Active/Passive Antenna?
Only cable kits supplied by Beam will operate correctly with the Inmarsat antennas. Each cable kit
has been made to meet the specific specifications of the antenna and Inmarsat network. The cable
kit not only provides Satellite connectivity but also GPS which is required for the Inmarsat service
to function correctly. In the case of Active Antennas, then the cable kit also provides power to the
antenna as well. You must use Passive cable kits with the ISD700 and Active cable kits with the
ISD710/715 and 720. Failure to use the correct Beam cables can damage the antenna, stop the
service from performing properly and void your warranties.

What is the maximum length of antenna cable I can use with my Passive Inmarsat Antenna?
Antenna cables for the Passive Inmarsat Antenna start at a length of 10 meters and go up to 50
meters. If you need to go longer, you may be better off looking at using an Active antenna to get
access to the longer cable kits.

I am using the Beam recommended antenna cable with an Active antenna, yet I don't get a
proper connection, what can I do?
Make sure that the cable is correctly connected to both the antenna and the unit. Also, please
check whether there are no kinks in the cable. See the cable kit specifications to ensure the
maximum bend radius has not been exceeded anywhere. Also check the cable kit has not be altered
in anyway, the cable kits CANNOT be shortened.
Check that the antenna is positioned properly, has a clear view of the horizon and there are no
other obstacles or RF interference. Also check the Inmarsat coverage map to ensure coverage is
available at your location.

Does RF Interference affect the satellite signal?

All wireless devices, including satellite telephones, are susceptible to RF (Radio Frequency)
interference from other electronic devices. This problem is especially evident when numerous
antennas and broadcasting devices are located within close proximity to each other.
A good example would be onboard a ship. It is important that certain considerations be taken
into account for best performance when an Iridium system is installed.
Causes of RF Interference:
Some subscribers have contacted Iridium regarding the loss of signal quality when they operate
their equipment near active INMARSAT terminals. The power with which INMARSAT units transmit
can overpower the Iridium unit’s ability to properly maintain a quality connection with the Iridium
satellite constellation. INMARSAT terminals are often found in the same locations as Iridium
subscribers, such as harbors, airports and especially onboard ships.
The location of the INMARSAT unit’s antenna in relation to the Iridium unit’s antenna plays a
significant role in determining the degree of signal degradation that an Iridium subscriber can
expect to experience. All Iridium units are susceptible to this interference, regardless of the type
of antenna being used.
Generally speaking, an Iridium unit, be it a handset using its integral antenna or a fixed terminal
when attached to an externally mounted antenna and located within 15 and 45 meters (50 to 150

We Deliver Solutions tailored to your needs

feet, respectively) of an operating INMARSAT Mini-M / GSPS / Fleetphone / IsatPhone link or
Standard-C terminal, will likely experience degraded performance.
Inmarsat antennas can experience interference from other Inmarsat devices as well as radar or
broadcast services and other RF transmitting devices.
Other sources of RF interference such as Globalstar units, radar devices and broadcast stations
can provide interference for Iridium units, but usually are not encountered as frequently as
INMARSAT terminals.
Refer also to Inmarsat/Iridium Antenna User Guide.

How do I know if my IsatPhone Pro is registered on the Inmarsat network?

The IsatPhone will indicate "Inmarsat" in the top left corner of the screen display and when the
handset is registered and able to make calls on the network.

What is the difference between a Passive and Active Antenna?

The exact difference is the Passive antenna is a non-powered Directional antenna that can ONLY
be used in fixed applications where the antenna will never move. This antenna does require to be
manually pointed at the Inmarsat satellite when initially installed.

The Active antenna is a Powered omni directional antenna that can be used for mobile
applications where the antenna will move like on a ship or vehicle. The antenna doesn’t require
manual pointing to the satellite. The power to the antenna is provided by the docking unit and
does not require an additional power source.
Any Beam Inmarsat Dock or Terminal can support any Active or Passive Inmarsat antenna.

My Terminal/Docking Station continues to display "Searching Satellite/Network."

Ensure your terminal’s antenna is installed where there are no obstructions and has a clear line of
sight to the satellite with no obstacles which could block the signal.
Check the antenna cable and all connections are secure and no bends or breaks/cuts in the cable.
Check for any RF interference near the antenna that maybe causing problems. If there is, shut
them down and re test, if works ok, then you will have to relocate the antenna elsewhere.
Check with your service provider that the service has been activated.
Check your coverage map to ensure service is available at your location.
If problem persists, contact your service provider.

How do I know if my TR400/OC400 is registered on the Inmarsat network?

The signal LED on the terminal will change to GREEN (Good Signal Registered) or YELLOW (poor
signal registered) when it is able to make calls on the network.

My phone does not display a GPS position.

Some national policies do not allow users to access their GPS information in particular locations.
Your terminal continues to access the GPS satellites as usual, but your terminal will not display its
GPS location.

The signal bars are low or fluctuating and call quality is poor on my Inmarsat Service.
Ensure all antenna connectors are tight.
Make sure the antenna is operating in a location where it can see the satellite and there are no
obstructions.
Ensure that BEAM certified antenna cabling is being used and that there are no sharp bends or
cuts in the cable, and the cable has not been modified in anyway.
If using a fixed passive antenna, ensure it is orientated correctly and pointing at the satellite.

Can I install Surge Arrestors with my Inmarsat products?

There is a possibility to use a Surge Arrestor with the Inmarsat Docking Stations. Please contact
your Beam Reseller for pricing. The lead time for these cables will be approx 3-6 weeks after
placing the order.

The Satellite device fails to register with the Satellite service after 60 seconds.

SIMPIN / PUK / PHONE LOCKING

Why doesn't my SIM card work?

Is the card inserted the correct way?
Is the gold chip visibly damaged or scratched? If so, return the card to your service provider.
Check the SIM and phone contacts. If they are dirty, clean them with an antistatic cloth

What is a SIM PIN?

The Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) often referred to as a simcard, typically is provisioned and
issued by a Service Provider (SP) with an associated Personal Identification Number (PIN),
sometimes referred to as PIN1. It is possible to request simcards without PINs. When the satellite
device first powers on, if the unit is set to request that the user enters the PIN code then until this
has been successfully completed, the unit will not register, place calls or receive calls.

My SIM PIN is blocked?

If you enter the PIN incorrectly 3 times, the SIM card locks, and you need to enter the PUK. You
must use the PUK code supplied by your Service Provider to unlock the SIM. If you don't have a
PUK code, please contact your Service Provider.

The Terminal / Phone or SIM has been lost or stolen.

Contact your service provider as soon as possible so your terminal / phone or SIM can be barred.

TRACKING

How does the GPS tracking work?

The Beam Inmarsat terminals or docking units supports periodic position reporting or manually
activated position reports via SMS. The device can be programmed to send at a regular interval
whenever the unit has power or alternatively whenever the TRACK button on the device is pressed.
The position report is send via SMS to a predetermined destination which can be another SMS
service or email address. The device also supports the use of a Panic Alert which is a two button
press on the dock or via an external button input I/O to the dock to generate an Emergency Alert
message from the device, this is also via SMS and takes priority over the periodic position message.
The device can also be remotely polled for a current position report. The SMS messages can be
sent to your own designated tracing application.

Alert and Tracking not working with an external button.

If the Beam alarm loop is going to be used with an external button, remember to enable this
external loop in the device software settings. Once enabled, the loop will be armed and activated
with an open-loop condition.
To avoid false triggering, be sure to have the normally closed button wired into the alert loop,
before applying power.

Clearing an Alert
To clear the alert mode press and hold the Track button for seven seconds. A single beep will
sound, and the LED will show re-armed state (GREEN).

A tracking alert keeps being sent even after clearing.

Make sure that if using the alert/alarm loop that a normally-closed switch is being used.
If the alert/alarm loop is not being used, then disable the option ‘Activate emergency mode when
the alarm/alter loop is broken’ in the Advanced Tracking options within the Falcon software.
