Qu ck start
The FLEXIFORCE GSM-02 works with contract as well as prepaid Sim cards. When using a
prepaid card, notice that some providers let the call credit expire after a certain time. Some
prepaid cards have to be upgraded once a year.
Be sure the card s act vated by your prov der before you nsert the card n the
GSM-02. Also, d sable the PINcode and the vo cema l, than the GSM-02 s
mmed ately ready for use.
After connecting the voltage with the GSM-02 wait till the green LED is permanently on. The
GSM-02 is gonna subscribe itself at the provider after connecting with the voltage. (It takes
1 or 2 minutes).
WHEN THE GREEN LED IS PERMANENTLY ON, THE UNIT IS ACTIVATED. THERE CAN
BE SWITCHED OR THERE CAN BE MADE A CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE.
A green LED that is permanently on indicates that the GSM-02 is ready for use. You can
programm the GSM-02 by following commands.
When the green LED has a interrupt sequence, the installed Sim card is not working or there
is no contact with the provider of the Sim card.
The red LED should have a slow interrupt sequence, this indicates that the unit is completely
activated.

The power supply of the GSM-02 Terminal has to be a single voltage source of POWER 5V-
24Vdc capable of providing a peak during an active transmission. The GSM-02 Terminal is
protected from supply voltage reversal. An internal fuse ensures an electrical safety accord-
ing to EN60950. This fuse is not removable. A fast acting fuse 0.8A with melting is neces-
sary to use with the GSM-02 Terminal at a 24V power supply system for vehicles. The power
supply must be compliant with the EN60950 guidelines.
REMARK: THE POWER SUPPLY IS INTERNALY CONNECTED FROM THE 4-PINS
CONNECTOR TO THE 24-PINS CONNECTOR. IF YOU USE THE ADAPTER, YOU HAVE
TO MAKE SURE THAT THE RED AND BLACK WIRE OF THE 24-PINS CONNECTOR DO
NOT CONNECT!!

regulation. Do not disassemble the product; any mark of tampering will compromise the
warranty validity. We recommend following the instructions of the hardware user guides for
a correct wiring of the product. The product has to be supplied with a stabili ed voltage
source and the wiring has to be conforming to the security and fire prevention regulations.
The product has to be handled with care, avoiding any contact with the pins because
electrostatic discharges may damage the product itself.
The use of this product may be dangerous and may have to be avoided in the following
areas: Where it can interfere with other electronic devices and where there is risk of
explosion such as gasoline stations, oil refineries, etc
Same cautions have to be taken for the SIM, checking carefully the instruction for its use.
Do not insert or remove the SIM when the product is in power saving mode. The system
integrator is responsible of the functioning of the installation; therefore, care has to be
taken to the external components of the module.
Should there be any doubt, please refer to the technical documentation and the regulations
in force. Every module has to be equipped with a original antenna with specific
characteristics. The antenna has to be installed with care in order to avoid any interference
with other electronic devices and has to guarantee a minimum distance from the body (20
cm). In case of this requirement cannot be satisfied, the system integrator has to assess the
installation against the SAR regulation.
