Indication of switching on 
 

By connecting the white wire to the vehicle‘s ignition you will avoid any 

possibility of the vehicle telephone running the vehicle‘s battery flat. In fact, 

the switching on indication will only allow the car kit to be switched on and 

off when the vehicle is switched on and off.  
 
Note: If you switch off the vehicle while a call is in progress, the call 
will not be interrupted.  
 
Globalstar wire 
 

The Globalstar wire is a 5 m long coaxial wire for connecting the amplifier 

to the cradle. These two units must only be connected to each other using 

the Globalstar wire provided in the pack.  

 
Note: Do not cut or modify the Globalstar wire. 
Ensure that the Globalstar wire is positioned inside the vehicle in 
such a way that it is protected from the weather.  
 
Globalstar magnetic external antenna  
 

The Globalstar external antenna (provided in the pack) must be installed 

for satellite communication using the car kit. The antenna is fitted with a 

magnet which allows it to be positioned temporarily on a metal surface  

(e.g. the vehicle‘s roof). It must face the sky and there must be no 
obstacles near it. 

The Globalstar  antenna is connected by means of the red and black 

connectors via the respective jacks on the amplifier.  

 
Note: The antenna has been designed to withstand a maximum 
speed of 160 km/h (99 mph). 
The antenna is fitted with a 2 m wire.
