03 Using the menu

NOTE

If the SAT icon is blinking or the displayed service area

appears to be incorrect, you may not be able to receive or

make SAT calls - in this case you can update the SAT

registration manually.

The SAT registration only works while your Thuraya XT DUAL

is in satellite mode (Menu > Network > System preference;

see next chapter).

A very powerful function of your Thuraya XT DUAL is to use the

phone either in satellite mode or in GSM mode which will give

you highest flexibility no matter in which area you are travelling.

And to make the usage even easier you can select the network

mode manually or you can set your preference and let the phone

find your preferred network mode (SAT or GSM) as soon as it

becomes available.

will only connect to the Thuraya satellite

network.

Your Thuraya XT DUAL will initially attempt to

access a SAT network, if no SAT network is

available it will automatically attempt to access a GSM network.

In addition you can set the time in minutes (15, 30 or 60 min)

when your XT DUAL shall try to scan again for the SAT network

while in GSM mode. The phone will then switch to SAT if the

service becomes available.

GSM only

If you select 'GSM only' your Thuraya XT DUAL will only connect

to a GSM network available in your area. Which GSM network

shall be selected can be set in the menu 'Preferred networks'

(see 6.4.).

network. If no GSM network is available it will automatically try to

access the SAT network. In addition you can set the time (15, 30

GSM networks.
