Resetting the ICU
If the ICU stops responding, or stops receiving and sending data,
you may need to reset it. The Reset button is a recessed switch
located on the front panel, to the right of the LEDs.
To reset the unit, press and hold the Reset switch for more than one
second, and then release it.

Driver Alert Features
Each ICU unit has a Remote Alert Transmitter (RAT). The RAT is
a device that allows vehicle drivers to send a message if they need
immediate assistance. There are two ways for a driver to trigger an
alert:
• In-Vehicle Alert button (IVA)
• RAT Wireless Key Fob button
Figure 4. Driver Alert Options
Sending an Alert
When the driver triggers an alert, the ICU immediately wakes up
and sets a bit in Port 211 so that the software can transmit an alert.
The table below describes the two methods for a driver to send a
RAT alarm.
Alarm Type How to Send It Requirements
IVA Press one of the IVA buttons that
are directly wired into the ICU
unit: one in the vehicle cab, and
one in the back of the truck.
The driver must be in
the cab or the back of
the vehicle.
RAT Key
Fob
Press the button on the RAT Key
Fob.
Driver must be within
150 feet of the vehicle,
and within line of sight.

Quick Reference
Programming the Remote Alert Transmitter (RAT)
The ICU must be programmed to recognize a transmission from a
wireless RAT Key Fob. Each vehicle driver will have a RAT Key Fob.
Programming a RAT Button
To program the ICU to recognize a particular RAT Key Fob:
1. Remove the Access Denial Cover to get access to the RAT Pro-
gramming button located on the ICU connector panel.
2. Press and release the RAT Programming button on the ICU.
Use a pen tip or similar object to press the recessed button. On
the front panel, the LED for the RAT will show a solid light,
indicating that the terminal is in Learn mode.
3. When you see the solid RAT LED, you have 10 seconds to
press the Key Fob button in this sequence:
a. Press and release the RAT Key Fob button.
b. Press and hold the RAT Key Fob button until the RAT
LED indicator starts to blink on the ICU.
4. The blinking light shows that the RAT Key Fob has been suc-
cessfully programmed. It will trigger a RAT alarm if a driver
presses the RAT button on the Key Fob.
Deleting a RAT Button
This procedure deletes the programming information for all RAT
Key Fobs programmed into an ICU:
1. Remove the Access Denial Cover to get access to the RAT Pro-
gramming button located on the back panel of the ICU.
2. Press and hold the RAT Programming button on the ICU. Use
a pen tip or similar object to press the recessed button. On the
front panel, the RAT LED shows a solid light.
3. Wait for the RAT LED to turn off. Then release the RAT Pro-
gramming button.
4. All programming information has now been deleted from the
ICU. Pressing a RAT Key Fob button will not trigger an alert.
Note that this does not affect the IVA Alert buttons.

Basic Troubleshooting
This table provides guidelines for troubleshooting some basic
problems on the ICU. If you cannot solve the problem using these
guidelines, please contact Customer Service for advanced
troubleshooting and repair.
Problem Action
Terminal does
not start.
Make sure the External Power cable is connected to
the ICU terminal and to a vehicle power source.
Check the vehicle battery. If it is depleted (dead), re-
place the vehicle battery.
Make sure the Vehicle Accessory Power (ACC) wire is
connected to a switched 12 VDC Power Source. If it is
not, then vehicle ignition will not wake the terminal.
In-Vehicle Alert
(IVA) does not
work.
Make sure the IVA cable has not come unplugged from
the ICU terminal .
Make sure neither of the IVA buttons has been stuck
in the “on” position. If this happens, it prevents either
IVA cable or the RAT Key Fob buttons from working.
Check for obvious problems with the cable, or with
the ICU hardware.
Remote Alert
(RAT) does not
work.
Make sure the terminal has been programmed to work
with the RAT Key Fob. Clear the RAT Programming
from the ICU. Then reprogram it with the existing
RAT Key Fob. See page 7 for instructions.
The RAT Key Fob may be faulty. Repeat the program-
ming process with a new RAT Key Fob.
Make sure neither of the IVA buttons has been stuck
in the “on” position. If this happens, it prevents either
IVA cable or the RAT Key Fob buttons from working.

Quick Reference
GPS data is miss-
ing or incorrect.
Make sure the GPS antenna cable is in good condition,
and connected securely to the terminal.
The vehicle may be in an area where there is poor GPS
coverage (e.g., parkades, tunnels, deep valleys or areas
with many tall buildings).
There may be a problem with either the software, or
with the GPS radio. Contact Customer Service for ad-
vanced troubleshooting and repair.
Terminal is not
receiving data or
transmitting
data (BSWD and
RAT radios).
Make sure the antenna cables are in good condition,
and connected securely to the terminal.
Check to see if there are problems on the network.
You may be in an area of poor coverage. Drive to an
area where you know the radio coverage is adequate.
There may be a problem with either the software, or
with an internal radio. Contact Customer Service for
advanced troubleshooting and repair.
