USING THE COMPUTER

Start-up and shut-down

The starting mode is selectable in Sunit Telematics

Manual on-off (default)

- on: Press the on/off button shortly
- off: Use the operating system’s Shut-down feature only.

Automatic starting

- you can set the automatic starting adjustments in Sunit Telematics (at Windows Control Panel)

Automatic shut-down

- you can adjust the mode of shut-down, delay and standby time in Sunit Telematics

Cold start

- the unit starts only after the pre-heating, when the temperature inside of the unit has reached +5°C.
Depending on the prevailing temperature, pre-heating can last up to 4 minutes.

With start of the unit, the following devices starts also:

- GPS is ready to receive data as soon as the operating system is running. GPS requires signal from
at least 3 satellites for location.
- if the optional phone is installed, the search of the network is performed automatically.

Display adjustments

The display is equipped with automatic adjustment of the backlight, therefore manual adjustment of
the brightness is not recommended except in the dark
- adjust the minimum brightness by following instructions given in page 8 or 9

the SIM card:

1. Open front panel by pressing and turning it from the bottom

2. Push SIM card firmly into the slot.

Remove SIM card by pressing it firmly and then pulling it out

NOTE! Disable PIN code query of the SIM card using mobile phone before installing the SIM
card.

3. Attach the front panel.

Placed in the front panel there is a filter to protect the CPU from dust. Therefore the front panel has
been equipped with a detector that indicates is the front panel attached. If the front panel is not
attached, computer will not start and the phone is not functioning.

Please handle the front panel carefully so the detector will not brake.

Connecting BUS 3USB+LAN cable

Central unit has a special BUS connector for 3x USB and LAN(ethernet 10/100 BASE) interfaces.
Connect BUS cable (see picture below) into the central unit’s

3xUSB/1xLAN-connector

and use

screws for locking the connector.

RESETTING THE COMPUTER

To solve telecommunication or location problems the telematics card may have to reset. In that case
the computer should be turned off by pressing on/off button for about 4 seconds. When the computer
has shut down, reset the telematics card by pressing the reset button using a pen, paper clip etc

Reset

MAINTENANCE

Do not scratch or press the cover of the device with sharp objects. You must not touch to the display
element with a sharp object. Do not fasten any accessories to the cover of the display or of the cen-
tral unit

To protect the electronics of the device, the covers must be always kept closed. The device contains
an internal heat management systems which controls the fan, so do not set any objects on or over
the central unit, which may prevent the ventilation of the device. If any failure occurs, please contact
the service.

Cleaning

- clean the filter of the CPU regularly
- keep the display and covers clean from dust, oil or other chemicals
- clean the device by using a weak detergent
- always use a soft towel for cleaning

Cleaning the filter

Open the front panel

The filter is located inside the panel.

Remove the filter and clean it. If the filter is very dirty, washing is recommended. Place the filter in
and attach front panel.

Alkaline or other solvent, alcohol and other similar chemicals must not be used!

Software maintenance

The computer runs with either a Microsoft Windows or a Linux operating system. Particularly the
Windows operating system is vulnerable to worms, viruses and attacks against known security holes.
It’s essential to keep your computer up-to-date with proper virus protection application, e.g. Norton
Anti-Virus or similar, and use Windows update -feature regularly. It is also very recommented to use
a software firewall, considering that there are many of them available freely from e.g. internet and
Windows XP has this feature build-in.

Become acquainted with the folder C:\Support. From there you will find device drivers, user guides
and utility programs.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR TAXI INSTALLATION

Demands for distance signal generator

The conditions for the compatibility between the taximeter and the distance signal generator

The distance signal generator output should produce low level by connecting taximeter pulse input
signal to ground. The current in that state must be strong enough to make voltage on pulse input to
go below maximum voltage level specified by manufacturer (Vin,low=3.5 max). The sufficient mar-
ginal for disturbance and setup time for stable voltage level must be also considered. The upper limit
for input frequency of distance pulses is 2 kHz. The minimum value for a constant of distance signal
generator is 500 pulses/km.

Installation and service of device

Installation and service of device is allowed only for educated and authorized service accepted by
device manufacturer. Opening device, braking the sealing or disconnecting cables is allowed only for
authorized service.

Instructions for installation and sealing can be found in enclosed document “Sunit Taximeter
SFDIN1-311121 installation, calibration and sealing instructions”.
