  If you are experiencing low signal strength or poor call quality with your Inmarsat Docking Station, make sure all antenna connectors are tightened. Ensure that the antenna has a clear view of the satellite without obstructions. Verify that you are using BEAM certified antenna cabling without sharp bends or cuts. If you're using a fixed passive antenna, confirm that it is correctly oriented and pointed towards the satellite.

  Dropped calls on your Inmarsat Docking Station may occur due to satellite signal obstruction from buildings, bridges, tunnels, or large vehicles when you are moving. Check the antenna connection and ensure the antenna cable is not damaged. Make sure that only approved antenna cable has been used.

  If your Inmarsat Docking Station cycles ON/OFF and the handset isn't registering, ensure the power supply provides at least 3.5A at 12 volts. If powered by a battery, check that the connections are tight and the contacts are clean.

Why does my Inmarsat Docking Station and handset turn OFF every 20 minutes?
- M
  Mrs. Alicia OrtegaAug 20, 2025
  If your Inmarsat Docking Station and handset turn off every 20 minutes, ensure the Ignition/Accessories wire is connected to power. If this wire is not connected, or if it's connected to ground, the docking station will enter sleep mode after 20 minutes by default.

  If the other party has no audio when using your Inmarsat Docking Station, ensure the privacy handset is docked in its cup when not in use. Check that the MUTE function is not activated (indicated by a red light). Also, check the signal strength on the handset. Finally, ensure that the headset connector at the base of the IsatPhone 2 is not obstructed by dust or foreign objects.
