High Power Alerting
If someone tries to call you in SAT mode, but
field strength is insufficient, the call cannot
be transmitted. Instead of this you will hear a
special ringing melody and the message
’
SAT Altering, Find Improved Reception’ indicated
on the display and the High Power Alerting
symbol (#) is displayed:
In High Power Alerting mode a call cannot be
accepted unless the user moves to a better
place for SAT signal reception (see "Introduc-
tion"), it can only be rejected and the High
Power Alerting melody can be silenced.
The call, however, will remain active as long
as the caller doesn’t end it.
Turn High Power Alerting melody off
Press
Silent
The High Power Alerting melody is
silenced, you can take measures to
accept the call (see below)
Reject the call
’Rejecting’ the call in this case means that the
mobile phone does not try to get a connec-
tion any longer.
Press Reject
The call is definitely terminated
Measures to accept the call
– Try to find a place for improved reception
– Pull out the mobile phone’s antenna
– Point it to the estimated satellite position
– Watch the field strength indicator
As soon as field strength is strong
enough the warnings disappear
from the display; now you can
accept the call as usual
If the call cannot be accepted, it is diverted to
your voice mailbox or another phone number
if activated.
