How to Insert Micro-SIM Card and Connect the Battery

UNSCREW SCREWS
Unscrew the 4 screws counterclockwise that are located on the bottom of the device.
COVER REMOVAL
Remove the cover. ****
SIM CARD INSERT
Insert the SIM card as shown with PIN request disabled. If PIN request is enabled, refer to Security info1 on how to enter it later in Teltonika Configurator2. Make sure that the SIM card’s cut-off corner is pointing forward to the slot. SIM slot 1 is closer to the PCB, while SIM slot 2 is the upper one.

BATTERY CONNECTION
Connect the battery as shown to the device.
ATTACHING COVER BACK
After configuration (refer to PC Connection (Windows)1), attach the device cover back.
DEVICE IS READY
Screw in all screws. The device is now ready to be mounted.

SIM card insertion/ removal must be performed when device is powered off – external voltage and internal battery disconnected. Otherwise SIM card might be damaged or device will not detect it.
FMX6 devices use Standard size SIM cards for SIM1 and SIM2. Currently most of the SIM cards provided by operators can be disassembled into 3 parts Standard/Micro/Nano. Depending on the SIM card construction – during device usage in harsh conditions, SIM assembly might come apart which causes instability when connecting to operator.

To avoid such risk:

If possible – ask operator for Standard SIM card with solid construction (not pre-cut to 3 parts)
Do not use SIM cards that were previously disassembled (SIM was taken apart previously)
If you plan to use only one SIM card
- insert it into SIM1 slot (lower slot)
- this ensures greater pressure on
  SIM contacts as the contact bed is pushed by PCB.

When 2 SIM cards are used simultaneously risk is mitigated as well – when SIM1 is inserted, a greater pressure is applied for SIM2, so SIM parts are harder to come lose.

PC CONNECTION (WINDOWS)

Power-up FMC640 with DC voltage (8 – 32 V) power supply using supplied power cable. LED’s should start blinking, see “LED indications1”.
Connect device to computer using Micro-USB cable or Bluetooth connection:

MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS

CONNECTING WIRES

Wires should be fastened to the other wires or non-moving parts. Try to avoid heat emitting and moving objects near the wires.
The connections should not be seen very clearly. If factory isolation was removed while connecting wires, it should be applied again.
If the wires are placed in the exterior or in places where they can be damaged or exposed to heat, humidity, dirt, etc., additional isolation should be applied.
Wires cannot be connected to the board computers or control units.

CONNECTING POWER SOURCE

Be sure that after the car computer falls asleep, power is still available on chosen wire. Depending on car, this may happen in 5 to 30 minutes period.
When module is connected, measure voltage again to make sure it did not decrease.
It is recommended to connect to the main power cable in the fuse box.
Use 3A, 125V external fuse.

CONNECTING IGNITION WIRE

Be sure to check if it is a real ignition wire i. e. power does not disappear after starting the engine.
Check if this is not an ACC wire (when key is in the first position, most of the vehicle electronics are available).
Check if power is still available when you turn off any of vehicles devices.
Ignition is connected to the ignition relay output. As alternative, any other relay, which has power output when ignition is on, may be chosen.

CONNECTING GROUND WIRE

Ground wire is connected to the vehicle frame or metal parts that are fixed to the frame.
If the wire is fixed with the bolt, the loop must be connected to the end of the wire.
For better contact scrub paint from the spot where loop is going to be connected.

DECLARATION OF IMEI ASSIGNMENT
The IMEI number is used by a GSM network to identify valid devices and therefore can be used for stopping a stolen phone from accessing that network. For example, if a mobile phone is stolen, the owner can call their network provider and instruct them to blacklist the phone using its IMEI number. This renders the phone useless on that network and sometimes other networks too, whether or not the phone’s subscriber identity module (SIM) is changed.
