Warnings and notices

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user
to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product.

Please read the installation guidelines, as well as the safety and operating instructions before operating your device. Follow all instructions and heed all warnings in the installation guide.

There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by a wrong battery type. Please discard empty battery according to local regulations.

Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

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.

FCC RF Exposure Information (SAR)

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 United States.

During SAR testing, this device is set to transmit at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands and placed in positions that simulate RF exposure in usage near the body with the separation of 15 mm. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.

The exposure standard for wireless employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: A6GC4D-4MUSABV8.

For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage near the body is 0.94 W/kg.

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.

SAR compliance for body operation is based on a separation distance of 15mm between the unit and the human body.

OBD connector pin out

OBD adapter wires

This adapter is only used to connect the OBD to a computer (laptop/desktop).

Preparing/installing the device

Those operations may need the use of specific tools like :

• Small cross-head screwdriver for the screw.
• Small slotted screwdriver to remove the cover.
• Thin tweezers to insert/remove the SIM card.

Open the device

Remove the screw using Small cross-head screwdriver

Insert slotted screwdriver to pop-out the top cover and extract it.

Move apart the side of the device first and then pull the back cover out of his spot.

Device is now open

Insert the SIM card

The micro SIM card slot is located between the two electronic cards.

Insert the card with contact on bottom into the slot and push it as far as it will go.

Once inserted the SIM card looks like this:

Properly close the device

First, check that the hole of the electronic card is correctly inserted in the plastic part.
If it’s not inserted please move smoothly the electronic cards right and left to place it in correct position.

Second, check that the micro USB port is correctly inserted on its place.
If it’s not inserted please move smoothly the electronic cards to place it in correct position.
