MAMBO2 HARDWARE MANUAL VERSION 1.0.12 SECURITYIMPORTANT FOR THE EFFICIENT AND SAFE OPERATION OF YOUR GSM-MODEM, READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USE!Your cellular engine MAMBO2 is one of the most exciting and innovative electronic products ever developed. With it, you can stay in contact with your office, your home, emergency services and others, wherever service is provided.This chapter contains important information for the safe and reliable use of the MAMBO2 device. Please read this chapter carefully before starting to use the cellular engine MAMBO2.2.1 General informationYour MAMBO2 device utilizes the GSM standard for cellular technology. GSM is a newer radio frequency („RF“) technology than the current FM technology that has been used for radio communications for decades. The GSM standard has been established for use in the European community and elsewhere. Your MAMBO2 is actually a low power radio transmitter and receiver. It sends out and receives radio frequency energy. When you use your modem, the cellular system handling your calls controls both the radio frequency and the power level of your cellular modem.For the use of the acquired devices SIM cards are needed, which are not included in the scope of delivery of the device. The SIM cards can be acquired e.g. by specific providers. From the use of the SIM cards can result additional costs, which are to be borne by the purchaser (client) of the devices. The seller does not cover the extra costs for the use of the devices. The seller gives no recommendation for the use of specific SIM cards and does not liable also for the fact that the devices are usable with all available SIM cards. The seller also covers no other costs, that are needed for the application of the customer in connection with this device.2.2 Exposure to RF energyThere has been some public concern about possible health effects of using a GSM modem. Although research on health effects from RF energy has focused for many years on the current RF technology, scientists have begun research regarding newer radio technologies, such as GSM. After existing research had been reviewed, and after compliance to all applicable safety standards had been tested, it has been concluded that the product is fit for use.If you are concerned about exposure to RF energy, there are things you can do to minimize exposure. Obviously, limiting the duration of your calls will reduce your exposure to RF energy. In addition, you can reduce RF exposure by operating your cellular modem efficiently by following the guidelines below.This confidential document is a property of FALCOM and may not be copied or circulated without previous permission.Page 8 of 23
MAMBO2 HARDWARE MANUAL VERSION 1.0.12.3 DrivingCheck the laws and regulations on the use of cellular devices in the area where you drive. Always obey them. Also, when using your MAMBO2 while driving, please pay full attention to driving, pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require. When applications are prepared for mobile use, they should fulfil road-safety instructions of the current law!2.4 Electronic devicesMost electronic equipment, for example in hospitals and motor vehicles is shielded from RF energy. However, RF energy may affect some malfunctioning or improperly shielded electronic equipment.2.5 Vehicle electronic equipmentCheck your vehicle manufacturer’s representative to determine if any on board electronic equipment is adequately shielded from RF energy.2.6 Medical electronic equipmentConsult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.) to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy.Turn your MAMBO2 device OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in the area instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using RF monitoring equipment.2.7 AircraftTurn your MAMBO2 OFF before boarding any aircraft. Use it on the ground only with crew permission. Do not use it in the air.To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a crew-member to use your modem while the plane is on the ground. To prevent interference with cellular systems, local RF regulations prohibit using your modem whilst airborne.2.8 ChildrenDo not allow children to play with your MAMBO2 device. It is not a toy. Children could hurt themselves or others (by poking themselves or others in the eye with the antenna, for example). Children could damage the modem or make calls that increase your modem bills.2.9 Blasting areasTo avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your device OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: „turn off two-way radio“. Construction crew often uses remote control RF devices to set off explosives.This confidential document is a property of FALCOM and may not be copied or circulated without previous permission.Page 9 of 23
MAMBO2 HARDWARE MANUAL VERSION 1.0.12.10 Potentially explosive atmospheresTurn your MAMBO2 device OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your modems or their accessories could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include fuelling areas such as petrol stations; below decks on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders.Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives, in the compartment of your vehicle, which contains your modem or accessories.Before using your modem in a vehicle powered by liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) ensure that the vehicle complies with the relevant fire and safety regulations of the country in which the vehicle is to be used.2.11 Battery safety The safety rules below are applied for the internal battery.

MAMBO2 HARDWARE MANUAL VERSION 1.0.15 MAMBO2 APPLICATION INTERFACE5.1 Power supplyYour MAMBO is powered by a rechargeable Li-Polymer battery. The power supply to recharge the internal battery of the MAMBO2 unit is drown from a valid USB port source which complies exactly with the USB standard. A compliant USB host source is specified to supply no more than 500 mA. The USB voltage is used to charge the internal battery. The current for charging the internal battery of the MAMBO2 device is limited to 450 mA. 5.1.1 Automatic shutdown Automatic shutdown takes effect if:•under voltage is detected when battery level runs low.The automatic shutdown procedure is equivalent to the initiated power-down, i.e. MAMBO2 logs off from the network and the software enters a secure state avoiding loss of data.5.1.2 Power saving SLEEP mode reduces the functionality of the modules of the MAMBO2 device to a minimum and, thus, minimizes the current consumption to the lowest level. Settings can be made using the $PFAL,Sys.Device.Sleep command. For details see examples in table below. Following SLEEP modes are supported by the MAMBO2 device: Ign Device wakes up when IGN (pin 13 MOLEX, AMP) changes its digital level from Low to High (performs a rising edge).Ring Device wakes up when the GSM module receives an SMS message.Timer=1:20:00 Device wakes up after the defined time has expired.Motion Device wakes up when motions are detected.Example $PFAL,Sys.Device.Sleep=Ign+Ring+Timer=1:20:00IMPORTANT: The sleep and wake-up procedures are quite different depending on the selected sleep mode. Please keep in mind the power saving with "Ring" parameter works properly only when PIN authentication has been done and the device is registered to the GSM network. If you attempt to activate power saving while the SIM card is not inserted or the PIN not correctly entered, the device responds error "ring shutdown aborted due to bad GSM coverage" and the power saving does not take place.
