Please watch the following video to set up your GO exec device and install the Iridium App.

Key Points

  • Insert the sim card.

  • Plug the GO! exec in with the supplied charge to a wall socket and charge it to 100%.

  • Go outside.  Find a clear view of the sky and the horizon to use the device.

  • Flip the antenna up, connect it to an external antenna, or gently press the power button for up to 15 seconds.

Check the Status bar at the top of the Iridium GO! exec app. If you see a satellite connection with signal bars, a white Bluetooth logo and a fully charged battery, you are ready to move on to Step 4: How to set up SOS with the Iridium GO! exec.

Quick Tips

  • If your IOS or Android device is unable to connect using the App, and the App status bar displays "Please connect to the Iridium GO! exec Wi-Fi", you can also connect by opening your device's Wi-Fi settings, selecting the Iridium Wi-Fi network and using the default password, which is: password

     

  • On iOS devices you may also need to disable "Limit IP Address Tracking" in the iPhone's Iridium Wi-Fi network settings so that your Iridium GO! exec App can establish a connection to the device.
