SatPaq Detached Mode
A SatPaq can be operated from a stable position (such as in a stand), aligned toward a satellite, and
detached from the phone. The phone will continue to communicate with the SatPaq over Bluetooth
from a distance up to about 30 feet. This makes it convenient to use a SatPaq even when you are
indoors. When you are in SatPaq Detached Mode, you can choose to have incoming messages
automatically retrieved and displayed in SpaceLinq for you when the app is in background mode.
The steps to align a SatPaq for Detached Mode operation are:
1) Tap the options pop-up menu (options icon, bottom right of the SpaceLinq screen).
2) Tap (Settings icon).
3) Tap “Communication Options.”
4) Tap (information icon) next to “Detached Mode.”
5) Watch the “Set Up Detached Mode” video.
6) Take your phone, SatPaq, and a stand outside.
7) To open the stand:
i. Hold it with the narrow side facing you.
ii. Push the center section away from the frame as far forward as possible.
iii. Lift the support away from the center section and set the tabs in the last position.
8) Attach the SatPaq to your phone.
9) Place the SatPaq in the stand on a flat surface and tap Detached Mode.
10) Once the Pointing screen opens, tilt and swivel the stand as needed to align the SatPaq with the
satellite icon inside the circle.
11) It may be necessary to move the stand to a different location to obtain a strong signal.
12) When the SatPaq is aligned, tap Done and remove the SatPaq and your phone from the stand,
leaving the stand in the same position.
13) Detach the SatPaq from your phone and place it in the stand with the SatPaq logo pointed toward
the satellite.
14) If you would like, turn on Auto Retrieve and select how often to have SpaceLinq check for new
messages when it is in background mode.
15) You can now be up to 30 feet away from the SatPaq when you send messages.
NOTE: When in Detached Mode, a D icon replaces the satellite or WiFi/cell icon on the SpaceLinq screen.
