Product Warranty (2 years)
Advantech warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its products will be
free from defects in materials and workmanship for two years from the date of pur-
chase.
This warranty does not apply to any products which have been repaired or altered by
persons other than repair personnel authorized by Advantech, or which have been
subject to misuse, abuse, accident or improper installation. Advantech assumes no
liability under the terms of this warranty as a consequence of such events.
Because of Advantech’s high quality-control standards and rigorous testing, most of
our customers never need to use our repair service. If an Advantech product is defec-
tive, it will be repaired or replaced at no charge during the warranty period. For out-
of-warranty repairs, you will be billed according to the cost of replacement materials,
service time and freight. Please consult your dealer for more details.
If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:
1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For example, CPU
speed, Advantech products used, other hardware and software used, etc.) Note
anything abnormal and list any onscreen messages you get when the problem
occurs.
2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your manual, product,
and any helpful information readily available.
3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return merchandize
authorization) number from your dealer. This allows us to process your return
more quickly.
4. Carefully pack the defective product, a fully-completed Repair and Replacement
Order Card and a photocopy proof of purchase date (such as your sales receipt)
in a shippable container. A product returned without proof of the purchase date
is not eligible for warranty service.

used batteries according to the manufacturers instructions.
17. THE COMPUTER IS PROVIDED WITH CD DRIVES COMPLY WITH APPRO-
PRIATE SAFETY STANDARDS INCLUDING IEC 60825.
18. 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.
19. CAUTION: Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis
whenever you work with the hardware. Do not make connections while the
power is on. Sensitive electronic components can be damaged by sudden
power surges.
20. CAUTION: Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching
the motherboard, backplane, or add-on cards. Modern electronic devices are
very sensitive to static electric charges. As a safety precaution, use a grounding
wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic components on a static-dissipative
surface or in a static-shielded bag when they are not in the chassis.
21. CAUTION: Any unverified component could cause unexpected damage. To
ensure the correct installation, please always use the components (ex. screws)
provided with the accessory box.
22. Caution text concerning lithium batteries:
23. "Rack Mount Instructions - The following or similar rack-mount instructions are
included with the installation instructions:
A) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may
be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to
installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that
the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not
compromised.
C) Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such
that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical load-
ing.
D) Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits
might have on over current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consid-

vii TREK-550/303 User Manual
eration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing
this concern.
E) Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be
maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other
than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips)."
Safety Precaution - Static Electricity
Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and the products from
damage.
To avoid electrical shock, always disconnect the power from your PC chassis
before you work on it. Don't touch any components on the CPU card or other
cards while the PC is on.
Disconnect power before making any configuration changes. The sudden rush
of power as you connect a jumper or install a card may damage sensitive elec-
tronic components.

TREK-550/303 User Manual 2
1.1 Introduction
The TREK-550 is a dedicated box computer for industrial vehicle fleets, transport
trucks, buses and taxis. TREK-550 combined with variety of I/O connectors can be
connected to devices like OBD-II or TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System). Dual
display/dual audio interfaces supporting different resolutions can deliver different
applications to different displays; eg: one application to a fleet driver and another to a
digital signage application.
Built-in wireless communications (WWAN) enable TREK-550 to send important
driver/vehicle/location/cargo information back to the control center. TREK-550 can
also operate in extreme environments with features like a wide working temperature
range (-30° to 70° degrees). TREK-550 also uses a special design to handle the crit-
ical issue of in-vehicle power. Special power protection (ISO7637-2/SAE J1455 Class
A/ SAE J1113) and car power management software (Ignition on/off, delay on/off, low
battery monitor) prevent electrical noise and surges from impacting the system,
guarding against damage from transient car power. TREK-550 also supports rear
view monitoring through the video in port. With this feature, a driver can monitor the
environment on two sides of the truck for driving safety. TREK-550 can also support
dead-reckoning feature, which means the truck can still be traced even if the driver is
driving in a tunnel.
