Nera F33
GETTING STARTED
SIM card
The SIM card carries subscription information from
your Net service provider on an integrated circuit.
The Nera F33 used with the SIM card assumes the
identity of the SIM card.
The SIM card has its own set of Inmarsat Mobile
Numbers (IMN) on which the user can be contacted
irrespective of the Nera F33 used.
All outgoing calls will be billed to the owner of the
SIM card.
The SIM card is protected by a SIM PIN (Personal
Identification Number). Contact your Net service
provider if you do not have the PIN code.
If the PIN code entered does not match the PIN code
on the SIM card, operation with that particular SIM
card will lock-up after three failed attempts. You must
then use the SIM un-block code (PUK code) provided by your Net service provider to un-lock the
card. Contact your Net service provider if you do not
have the PUK code.
Note!
When the PUK is used, the SIM PIN is set to 1 2 3 4.
INTRODUCTION CONT’D
Note! Nera F33 can be used with or without SIM
card. The Net service provider, however, sometimes
requires the use of SIM card.
The SIM card is located on the rear panel of the Main
Communication Unit, see figure 6. The cover must
be removed to access the the card slot. The cover is
attached by two serrated screws. No tools are
required to loosen the screws.
When entering the SIM card, the terminal prompts for
SIM PIN:
Fleet F33
SIM PIN: _
To change or disable the PIN code, see User
Guide > Access level on the enclosed CD.
The SIM card can store various information, e.g.:
• PIN code (Personal Identification Number)
• Phone book
• Allowed Net service providers

TELEFAX SERVICE
General
Nera F33 provides access to Group 3 telefax service
via Terminal Adapter. The transmisson rate is
9.6 kbps.
Limitations
Nera F33 is fully compatible with the world’s leading
telefax machines and telefax software standards.
However, transmission may not be possible through
some of the telefax machines available on the
market. Please check with your Net service provider/
Nera Distributor before purchasing a telefax for use
with Nera F33.
Installation
For installation details, see Appendix B – Connecting up Nera TA, or Connecting up BCS iTA.
Transmission
Telefax calls made by Nera F33 are telefax only. Any
telephone handset connected to the telefax machine
can not be used.
To send a fax, use the same dialing sequence as
when making a call. See Various call procedures
earlier in this manual.
Note! On a telefax with keypad, enter
last digit before starting transmission.

DATA SERVICE
9.6 kbps data transmission
Nera F33 provides access to asynchronous
data services through its built-in modem
capability. The transmisson rate over the
satellite is 9.6 kbps, and any standard PC
with a serial port can be used.
Compressed data transmission
Built-in V42 bis / 44 compression provides
up to 4 x 9.6 kbps increase in transfer
speed between Nera F33 and shore of:
- text files
- web browsing
- e-mail
This mode takes affect when the
remote end is prepared for
communication using the V42bis/44
modem protocol.
Nera F33 will compress data if possible. No
setup is needed.

shall be made by a Nera qualified technician only.
The equipment should preferably be installed by a
Nera SatCom approved Installation & Service Agent.
Warranty is not valid until the "Nera SatCom AS
Warranty Certificate" (at the back of the Registration
and Warranty Certificate booklet enclosed with the
equipment) is signed by the approved Installation &
Service Agent, and returned to Nera SatCom.
Cables longer than 5 metres must be shielded. All
peripheral equipment must be grounded.
Grounding
Connection to all type of equipment meant for
operation together with Nera F33 should be done
while the unit is powered off. Peripheral equipment
using mains shall be connected to a grounded AC
power socket.

Always follow the installation guidelines described
later in this manual for each type of interface.
Ventilation of the Main Communication Unit
Ambient temperature range: 0 - 45oC.
To ensure adequate cooling of the MCU a 10 cm
unobstructed space must be maintained above
and below the unit.
See "Placing the Main Communication Unit (MCU)".
Failure to comply with the above rules for installation will automatically void the warranty.

APPENDIX A - INSTALLATION CONT’D
Location of Antenna Unit
Avoiding obstructions
The antenna has a beamwidth of ±5O at 3 dB and
ideally requires a free line of sight in all directions.
Any obstruction will cause blind sectors, resulting in
signal degradation or even loss of communication
with the satellite.
Degradation of the satellite signal can only be
completely avoided by placing the antenna higher
than any obstructions. This is often not feasible and
a compromise must be made to reduce the number
of blind sectors and cost of installation.
The degree of signal degradation depends on the
size of the obstructions; the distance to them must
therefore be considered.
Preferably, all obstructions within 3 m of the antenna
should be avoided. Obstructions less than 15 cm in
diameter can be ignored beyond this distance.
Radiation precautions
Personnel should not
be admitted in areas
closer than 1 m
from the antenna.
However, no
restrictions are
required when the
antenna radome
is installed at
A-2
MICROWAVE RADIATION !
NO ADMITTANCE WITHIN 1M
GETTING STARTED
least 2 m above the highest point accessible to
passengers.
Avoiding interference
Do not locate the Antenna Unit close to interfering signal
sources, or in such a position that the source (e.g. radar
antenna) radiates directly into the Nera F33 antenna.
The Antenna Unit should be separated as far as
possible from other transmitter/receiver antennas,
and preferably by at least 5 m from the antenna of
other communication or navigation equipment, such
as the antenna of the satellite navigator, the VHF
antenna, radar equipment, or other Inmarsat equipment.
Compass safe distance
For installation on British or Norwegian vessels, the
antenna should be located at a distance of at least
1.0 metres from the magnetic steering compass. Be
aware that requirements may vary from one country
to another.
Other precautions
Do not place the antenna close to the funnel, as
smoke deposits will then eventually degrade antenna
performance.
The antenna should be installed so that severe
vibration and shock are avoided.

Coax cable
A 25 metre coaxial cable type RG-223 (103154) is
supplied as standard.
For greater lengths, see the table below which lists
suitable double screened coax cables.
The coax cable should be secured by laying the cable in
a tube and/or by fastening the cable to avoid damage.
Optional antenna cable
Double screened 50 ohm coaxial cable must be used
for connection between the MCU and Antenna Unit.
A "pigtail" is required in each end for the RF 1/2" 50
type cable.
The maximum length of the coax cable is limited by
the DC and RF loss through the cable:
Maximum DC loss: R loop 4.0 ohms
Minimum/maximum RF attenuation at 1.6 GHz: 4/20 dB
Power source
The equipment operates from 11 to 32 Volts DC.
Maximum power consumption:
- transmit mode:
110 W
- receive mode (idle):
40 W
