2.2. Recommendation for both type:
Move the switch inwards (I) to activate the internal battery.
The switching ON of the internal battery requires a running system. This is
about 10 seconds after ignition (the led 4 must be lit then unlit).
Move the switch outwards (O) to deactivate the internal battery.
The switching OFF of the internal battery is instant. Thus, don't switch off the
internal battery if the device is running without be connected to an external
battery.
The SIM card PIN code must be deactivated.

3. Preparing/installing the device
3.1. Connect the GPS external antenna
3.2. Choose the appropriate location for mounting
The ideal location for mounting the device is under the dashboard. However, some
types of coated windshields, as well as windshields with an in-screen heating system
can block GPS signals. External antenna should never be covered by any kind of
object or material, especially not by metal or aluminium. Transmission and reception
of GPS signal is however not hindered by plastic or normal glass. Moreover, put at
least 20 cm between the antenna and a speaker.

3.4. Pin out & Wires description
Power supply may be derived directly from the vehicle’s main power or from the
board installation. In the first case, it is an absolute must that a fuse on the main cable
is present.
Ignition wire must always be connected to the vehicle’s ignition OR tied with
the permanent positive to the vehicle’s battery.
Ground must be always connected first. It is mandatory to add a fuse (2A) to
the permanent positive. The closer to the connection point with vehicle
power.

3.5. Plug the device to the external battery
The device must have a direct connection with the main power (external battery).
Mobile Devices advise against the use of intermediate system.
1.
Check that all the inputs implied in the wake-up reasons configured on your
device are not connected.
2.
Plug the device (black wire) to the ground of the external battery.
3.
Plug the device (red wire) to the permanent positive of the external battery.
4.
Plug the device (white wire) to the ignition (after contact).
In some case, the use of a circuit breaker can let the ignition (after contact) active.
Thus, the device will be ON indefinitely. So, it’s important to find a signal where the
ignition can be ON or OFF.
Moreover, it is imperative to insulate the GPS antenna in order to avoid it get in touch
with the car’s chassis.
The device should be always plugged to :
The ground of the external battery.
A ground point defined by the vehicle manufacturer (if different from
the ground of the external battery).
A circuit breaker should never be enabled as long as:
Ignition is active.
Ignition goes OFF since less than 2 minutes. This is the time for the
device to do a proper shutdown.
It is mandatory to add a fuse (2A) to the permanent positive. The closer to
the connection point with vehicle power.
4. Inputs activation threshold
Here are inputs activation thresholds (voltage).
Ignition (active high) is active if voltage greater than 3V (disabled if smaller
than 1V)
Alarm (active low) is active if voltage is below 1V (disabled if greater than 3V)
Digital Input1 (active low) is active if voltage is below 0.5V (disabled if greater
than 3V)
Note: Range voltage on inputs is 0-30V
5. Ouputs information
The two Outputs are active low and they can deliver up to 300mA.
Note: Outputs have a pull-up resistance of 10Kohms

8. FCC Regulations:
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiated radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.

9. RF Exposure Information
This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.
This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for
exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the U.S. Government.
This device complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. In order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency
exposure limits, human proximity to the antenna shall not be less than 20cm (8 inches)
during normal operation.
