Unscrew 6 screws counterclockwise that are located on the bottom of the device.
Remove the cover.
Insert Micro-SIM card as shown with PIN request disabled or read our Wiki how to enter it later in Teltonika Configurator. Make sure that Micro-SIM card cut-off corner is pointing forward to slot.
Connect battery as shown to device.
After configuration, see “PC Connection (Windows)”, attach device cover back and screw in all screws.
Device is ready to be mounted.

PC Connection (Windows)

Power-up FMB204 with DC voltage (6 – 30 V) power supply using power cable. LED’s should start blinking, see “LED indications”.
Connect device to computer using Micro-USB cable or Bluetooth connection:
- Using Micro-USB cable
  You will need to install USB drivers, see “How to install USB drivers (Windows)”
- Using Bluetooth
  FMB204 Bluetooth is enabled by default. Turn on Bluetooth on your PC, then select Add Bluetooth or other device > Bluetooth. Choose your device named – “FMBxxx_last_7_imei_digits”, without LE in the end. Enter default password 5555, press Connect and then select Done.
You are now ready to use the device on your computer.

How to install USB drivers (Windows)

Please download COM port drivers from here.
Extract and run TeltonikaCOMDriver.exe.
Click Next in driver installation window.
In the following window click Install button.

Setup will continue installing the driver and eventually the confirmation window will appear. Click Finish to complete the setup.

Configuration (Windows)

At first FMB204 device will have default factory settings set. These settings should be changed according to the user’s needs. Main configuration can be performed via Teltonika Configurator software. Get the latest Configurator version from here. Configurator operates on Microsoft Windows OS and uses prerequisite MS .NET Framework. Make sure you have the correct version installed.

The downloaded Configurator will be in a compressed archive. Extract it and launch Configurator.exe. After launch software language can be changed by clicking in the right bottom corner (Figure 10 Language selection).

The configuration process begins by pressing on the connected device
(Figure 11 Device connected via USB).

After connection to Configurator Status window will be displayed

(Figure 12 Configurator Status window).
Various Status window tabs display information about GNSS, GSM, I/O, Maintenance and etc. FMB204 has one user editable profile, which can be loaded and saved to the device. After any modification of configuration, the changes need to be saved to the device using Save to device button. Main buttons offer following functionality:

Load from the device – loads configuration from the device.
Save to device – saves the configuration to the device.
Load from file – loads configuration from file.
Save to file – saves the configuration to file.
Update firmware – updates the firmware on the device.
Read records – reads records from the device.
Reboot device – restarts the device.
Reset configuration – sets device configuration to default.

Most important configurator section is GPRS – where all your server and GPRS settings can be configured and Data Acquisition – where data acquiring parameters can be configured. More details about FMB204 configuration using Configurator can be found in our Wiki.

Quick SMS configuration

The default configuration has optimal parameters present to ensure best performance of track quality and data usage. Quickly set up your device by sending this SMS command to it:

set param 2001:APN;2002:APN_username;2003:APN_password;2004:Domain;2005:Port;2006;0″

Note: Before SMS text, two space symbols should be inserted.

GPRS settings:

2001 – APR
2002 – APN username (if there are no APN username, empty field should be left)
2003 – APN password (if there are no APN password, empty field should be left)

Server settings:

2004 – Domain
2005 – Port
2006 – Data sending protocol (0 – TCP, 1 – UDP)

Default configuration settings

Movement and ignition detection:

Vehicle movement will be detected by the accelerometer
Ignition will be detected by vehicle power voltage between 13,2 – 30 V

Device makes a record On Moving if one of these events happen:

300 seconds passes
Vehicle drives 100 meters
Vehicle turns 10 degrees
Speed difference between last coordinate and current position is greater than 10 km/h

Device makes a record On Stop if:

1 hour passes while vehicle is stationary and ignition is off

Records sending to server:

If device has made a record it is sent to the server every 120 seconds

After successful SMS configuration, FMB204 device will synchronize time and update records to configured server. Time intervals and default I/O elements can be changed by using Teltonika Configurator or SMS parameters.

Mounting recommendations

Connecting wires
- Wires should be fastened to stable wires or other nonmoving parts. Any heat emitting and/or moving objects
  should be kept away from the wires.
- There should be no exposed wires. If factory isolation was removed while connecting the wires, the isolation material should be applied.
- 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 and the wires should not be loose.
- Wires cannot be connected to the board computers or control units.
Connecting power source
- Be sure that after the car computer goes to sleep mode, power might be still available on the power wires. Depending on the car model, this may happen in 5 to 30 minutes period.
- When the module is connected, measure the voltage again to make sure it did not decrease.
- It is recommended to connect to the main power cable in the fuse box.
- 3 A, 125 V external fuse shall be used.
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.

PAY ATTENTION! Connecting the power supply must be carried out in a very low impedance point of on-board vehicle network. Connecting the GND at an arbitrary point to the mass of the car is unacceptable, as static and dynamic potentials on the line GND will be unpredictable, which can lead to unstable FMB204 operation and even its failure.
