Why is my Iridium 9505A battery not charging?
If your battery won’t charge, check the charger to ensure it is properly connected and the contacts are clean and dry. Inspect the battery contacts to make sure they are also clean and dry. If the battery is warm, allow it to cool before attempting to recharge it. Consider the battery's age, as performance declines after several years, and replacement may be necessary.

Why does the battery drain so fast on my Iridium Marine GPS System?
A battery might drain faster than normal due to several factors. If you're in an area with variable coverage, it consumes extra battery power. Ensure your antenna is fully rotated and extended with a clear view of the sky to minimize power usage. If it's a new battery, it needs two to three charge/discharge cycles to perform optimally. Old batteries also decline in performance over time and may need replacing. Completely discharge the battery periodically, then charge it overnight. Extreme temperatures can also significantly reduce battery performance.
Why am I not receiving calls on my Iridium 9505A Marine GPS System?
If you are not receiving calls, first ensure that your phone is powered on. Check that the antenna is fully extended and rotated, and you have a clear view of the sky. Also, check the signal strength indicator to make sure you have adequate signal. Review your 'Call Forwarding' and 'Call Barring' settings, as these may be preventing you from receiving calls. Finally, check the ringer setting to ensure it is not turned off.
