  • Motorola Iridium 9500
  • Motorola Iridium 9505
  • Iridium 9505A
  • Iridium 9522
  • Iridium Core 9523
  • Iridium 9555
  • Iridium 9575
  • Iridium 9575 PTT
  • Iridium 9602
  • Iridium 9603
  • Iridium 9604
  • Iridium 9704
  • Iridium DBL Interface / Port
    • It's Some cursed proprietary thing on an RJ-45 connector...

I'm about to get some of those and considering to setup a bounty to get these up and running...

  • There's like a crate of 9505 phones staring at me and all they miss are batteries, SIM cards, chargers and maybe some antennas.
    • Batteries are easy to source; worst-case gotta wire up some DC/DC adaptor to make it think it always got 3,8V or something...

And no, neither Motorola nor Iridium feel the need to make documentation available!

The chargers (or their cables) are failing & frailing so much you can't find them even used at a reasonable price.

  • And because of the proprietary connector you can't just adapt a cheap DC/DC brick to it…

Maybe you can get car chargers for them too?

  • None of the public manuals list the device connector pinouts and voltages…
    • If I had a working charger for the Irdium 9500 / 9505 I eould've already found the charging pins with a multimeter.

But thanks.
I'll keep a look at it and see if they got what I'm looking for.

  • Will amend this post if that helped…

https://manualmachine.com/search/?q=iridium%209500&id=21100535&key=iridium9500

Some have developer docs as well as user guides.
