USER MANUAL for Retrofit eCall the smart collision detector TEP110
1. Conditions of use To use the Retrofit eCall, your car must be equipped with a 12V power outlet socket or cigarette lighter (SAE J563). To ensure unrestricted functionality of the TEP110, the power socket should be in the driver's immediate field of vision, for example, in the center console. There should be sufficient space at the outlet to enable the insertion of the device. You will also need a smartphone with one of the following operating systems: » Android from version 2.3.4 » iOS from version 8 and iPhone from model 5 The device's USB charging socket delivers up to 1.5A charge current. Depending on the attached device and application situation the charging current to be delivered is regulated downwards up to 0.5A to prevent overheating. When using the USB charging socket on the device for other devices, such as for example an external navigation system, there may be limitations in the functionality of the external device (e.g. transmitting traffic reports). Please refer to your device manufacturer with regard to this matter. The device is designed for operation without charging function for an operating temperature of - 30°C to + 75°C. Please see further information in section 3 of this document.
2. Safety instructions Use the device only in vehicles and in conjunction with a socket in the vehicle according to the standard SAE J563. Check that the device is as deep as possible and firmly placed in the 12V power outlet socket. The contact springs in the base of unit apply a particularly strong clamping force and are executed asymmetrically. This should largely offset tolerances in the diameters of different devices. Do not use the device if it only sits loosely in the socket. If this is the case take the device out of service immediately and remove it from the 12V power outlet socket. Otherwise there is a danger that the device will not correctly recognize driving events properly or not at all. The device could also come loose, fall into the footwell and block one of the pedals. The device is always a safety risk if it is not used properly. For more information on proper use and how to insert the device please refer to the operating instructions. The device must be plugged directly into a socket that is installed permanently in the vehicle so that acceleration forces acting on the vehicle body are transmitted directly to the device and can be measured by it. The use of an intermediate adapter or connecting cable is not permitted. If the USB charging function is used ensure that the device to be charged is connected to the device via a USB charging cable and not inserted directly into the socket (e.g. a USB flash drive). The unintentional leverage forces could cause the device to come loose, fall into the footwell and block one of the pedals or fail to properly detect driving events. Before each journey check the operability of the device.
Its LED should light up permanently and the smartphone app must not display a warning or error message. If you have heated the cigarette lighter or another thermal device in the 12V socket, please leave approximately 1 minute time for the socket to cool down before inserting the device. Protect the device from moisture and observe the appropriate care instructions in Section 4. If the vehicle must be started with an external jumper lead please remove the plug from the socket before starting to avoid any damage to the device. Never open the device. Ensure that children do not play with the device. Small parts could come loose and be swallowed by small children. The device may interfere with the operation of medical equipment (such as pacemakers). People with an implanted medical device should not remain in the vicinity of the device to rule out any potential hazard. If necessary make inquiries with manufacturer of the medical device to ascertain whether it is immune to external radio signals such as Bluetooth. Always include the operating instructions if the device is passed to another person. If the device has a partial or temporary fault take it completely out of service. The flawless and reliable operation of the device cannot be guaranteed if it is faulty.
3. System limitations The device is designed without its own power supply. It is powered by the vehicle’s power circuit. In severe accident situations it may happen that the power supply to the device is interrupted before it has transmitted the message to the smartphone. In this event the automatic emergency reporting will not work. In addition, a collision report will not be transmitted if the smartphone is destroyed as a result of an accident or if the smartphone battery is discharged. In exceptional cases, it may be the case that the device cannot accurately analyze the accident situation: » Minor accident, however, unit has only detected driving over uneven ground or driving over the curb. » No accident, however the device reports minor accident. This is due to the fact that the device does not know the location that it is installed in and acceleration forces vary greatly depending on the vehicle model, the load distribution and the direction of forces. The acceleration values obtained allow a conclusion to be drawn about the accident severity. Nevertheless, cases cannot be excluded in which the device will report a “normal” accident and personal injury still occurs, (e.g., the occupant is not wearing a seatbelt, side impact) and vice versa. The collision indication system cannot prevent accidents, nor completely detect an accident, it merely represents a system to provide assistance in an accident situation. The USB port supplies a charging current of up to 1.5A. It is capable of charging common smartphones, navigation devices and, for example, tablet PCs. However, the charging process may take longer than with power supply via the conventional accessories of the device being charged. The charging function is regulated depending on the temperature – the charging current is reduced if the temperature rises above a threshold value inside the device.
The device’s service can also only be guaranteed if the smartphone can dial into a mobile network. The service will not work without adequate network coverage or an activated telephone contract. If you have dialed into a foreign network the only available option is manual triggering. You are then connected to emergency services such as 911 or 112. If your insurer provides a service center abroad you will be connected with this service. 4. Care instructions Only clean the device with a slightly damp cloth or an anti-static cloth. Do not use solvents or microfiber cloth. Never use a dry cloth, otherwise there is a risk of a static electric charge. The use of chemicals or household cleaners is prohibited because their contact with the device may result in changes in the surface. On contact with liquid: » Remove the device from the socket » Drain the liquid, pat the device dry » Store the device for at least 72 hours in a dry, warm place (not an oven, microwave, etc.)
