This manual covers the operation of the CalAmp SMC-GPRS Embedded Wireless Modem.
Specifications described are typical only and are subject to normal manufacturing and
service tolerances.
CalAmp reserves the right to modify the equipment, its specification or this manual without
prior notice, in the interest of improving performance, reliability or servicing. At the time of
publication all data is correct for the operation of the equipment at the voltage and/or
temperature referred to. Performance data indicates typical values related to the particular
product.
No part of this documentation or information supplied may be divulged to any third party
without the express written consent of CalAmp.
Products offered may contain software which is proprietary to CalAmp. The offer or supply

Mod m Us
The SMC-GPRS modem is designed and intended for use in fixed and mobile applications.
“Fixed” assumes the device is physically secured at one location and not easily moved to
another location. Please eep the cellular antenna of the SMC-GPRS at a safe distance from
your head and body while the modem is in use (see below).
Important
Maintain a distance of at least 20 cm (8 inches) between the transmitter’s antenna and any
person while in use. This modem is designed for use in applications that observe the 20 cm
separation distance.
Int rf r nc Issu s
Avoid possible radio frequency (RF) interference by following these guidelines:
•The use of cellular telephones or devices in aircraft is illegal. Use in aircraft may
endanger operation and disrupt the cellular networ . Failure to observe this
restriction may result in suspension or denial of cellular services to the offender,
legal action or both.
•Do not operate in the vicinity of gasoline or diesel-fuel pumps unless use has been
approved and authorized.
•Do not operate in locations where medical equipment that the device could interfere
with may be in use.
•Do not operate in fuel depots, chemical plants, or blasting areas unless use has been
approved and authorized.
•Use care if operating in the vicinity of protected personal medical devices, i.e.,
hearing aids and pacema ers.
•Operation in the presence of other electronic equipment may cause interference if
equipment is incorrectly protected. Follow recommendations for installation from
equipment manufacturers.

Mobil Application Saf ty
•Do not change parameters or perform other maintenance of the SMC-GPRS while
driving.
•Road safety is crucial. Observe National Regulations for cellular telephones and
devices in vehicles.
•Avoid potential interference with vehicle electronics by correctly installing the
SMC-GPRS. CalAmp recommends installation by a professional.
