For your safety
Basic safety instructions
Please read the following safety instructions carefully before using the product for the first time.
▪Do not operate the terminal while driving in road traffic. Come to a standstillin order to use the
unit.
▪Before maintaining or repairing the tractor, always disconnect the connection between the tractor
and the terminal.
▪Before charging the tractor battery, always disconnect the connection between the tractor and
the terminal.
▪Before welding on the tractor or implement, always disconnect the power supply to the terminal.
▪Do not make any unauthorized modifications to the product. Unauthorized modifications or use
may impair safety and reduce the service life or operability of the unit. Modificationsare
considered unauthorized if they are not described in the product documentation.
▪Follow all recognized safety, industrial and medical rules as well as all road traffic laws.
▪The product does not include any user serviceable parts. Do not open the casing.
▪Read the operating instructions to the agricultural device which you want to control by using the
product.
Terminals with GSM modem
If the terminal is fitted with a built-in GSM modem, this will emit radio waves when it is switched on.
These can interfere with other equipment or be harmful to human health.
You should therefore follow the instructions belowwhen the terminal is fitted with a GSM modem:
▪If you wear a medical device, ask your doctor or the device manufacturer how to proceed in
order to prevent risks. Medical devices such aspacemakers or hearing aids may be sensitive to
the radio signal of the built-in GSM modem.
▪If you wear a pacemaker, keep the terminal away from the pacemaker.
▪Switch off the terminal as soon as you are close to a gas station, chemical plant, biogas plant or
any other location where combustible gases or fumes may be present. These gases can be
ignited by a spark and explode.
▪Always maintain a distance of at least 20 cm between the GSM antenna and your body.
▪Never switch the terminal on in an aircraft. Make sure that it isnot accidentally switched on
during flight.
▪Never connect the terminal by means of a power supply to the mains network. Only use the
vehicle battery.
Using a camera
The camera serves solely for observing the implement functions in non-safety-related working areas
of the agricultural implement.
In certain situations, the camera image may appear on the screen with a delay. The delay depends
on the respective use of the terminal and can also be affected by external factors and devices.
For this reason, please note the following information:
▪Do not use the camera to assist with steering the vehicle: not in road traffic, and not on private
properties.
▪Do not use the camera to watch the road traffic or when driving into intersections.
▪Do not use the camera as a rear view camera.

For your safety
Layout and meaning of warnings 1
30302710-02-EN V7.20160121 7
▪Do not use the camera as a visual aid for controlling the implement, especiallywhen a delayed
reaction can lead to risks.
▪Using a camera does not exempt you from your due diligence obligation to pay attention to
safety when operating the implement.
Layout and meaning of warnings
All safety instructions found in these Operating Instructionsare composed in accordance with the
following pattern:
WARNING
This signal word identifies medium-risk hazards, which could potentially cause death or serious
physical injury, if not avoided.
CAUTION
This signal word identifies low-risk hazards, which could potentially cause minor or moderate
physical injury or damage to property, if not avoided.
NOTICE
This signal word identifies actions which could lead to operational malfunctions if performed
incorrectly.
These actions require that you operate in a precise and cautious manner in order to produce
optimum work results.
There are some actions that need to be performed in several steps. If there isa risk involved in
carrying out any of these steps, a safety warning will appear in the instructions themselves.
Safety instructions always directly precede the step involving risk and can be identified by their bold
font type and a signal word.
1. NOTICE! This is a notice. It warns that there is a risk involved in the next step.
2. Step involving risk.
User requirements
▪Learn how to operate the terminal correctly. The terminal may not be operated by anyone who
has not read the Operating Instructions.
▪Please read and carefully observe all safety instructions and warnings contained in these
Operating Instructions and in the manuals of any connected vehicles and farm equipment.
Intended use
The terminal is intended exclusively for use in agriculture as well as in wine-growing, fruit-cultivating,
and hop-growing operations. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any installation or use
of the terminal that deviates from or exceeds the scope of intended use.

Product description
Performance description
The terminal is available in two hardware versions:
▪With GSM modem and with camera connections
– Complete functionality:
– It is the prerequisite for work with the farmpilot portal;
– On the rear side you can find two camera connections and one connection for the GSM
antenna.
▪Without GSM modem and without camera connections
You can find out the terminal version you have on the connections on the terminal rear side.
All applications of Müller-Elektronik available are installed on the terminal. But first you must activate
some of them.
See also: Activating licenses for full versions of the software [➙46]
The following applications are activated:
▪SERVICE – this application configures the terminal.
▪TRACK-Leader – a modern system enabling the driver of an agricultural vehicle keep exact
parallel lanes on the field.
▪Tractor-ECU - this application enables you to configure allsensors connected to the terminal and
to input the position of the GPS receiver.
▪File Server - This application isused to define a save location on the terminal. This save location
can be used by all ISOBUS implements which do not have their own USB interface.
▪Serial Interface - This application enables a data exchange between the terminal and an on-
board integrated display/controller via the serial interface. In this way, you can also use the GPS
signal for machines which are not ISOBUS-compatible. You can transfer target rates to the on-
board integrated display/controller or switch sections.The data is sent using the LH5000 or ASD
protocols.
– If you want to use the ASD protocol, you must activate the "ASD-Protocol" license.
You can test the following application for 50 hours free of charge:
▪SECTION-Control – automatic boom section switching. Additional module for TRACK-Leader.
▪VARIABLE RATE-Cont. – with this application you can work with prescription maps saved as
shp files. Additional module for TRACK-Leader.
▪TRACK-Leader TOP – automatic steering. Additional module for TRACK-Leader.
▪FIELD-Nav – this is the first navigation software that contains all navigable paths, takes
movement restrictions into account and leads directly to the field or other agricultural destination.
The following applications are installed, but deactivated until you have activated a license:
▪ISOBUS-TC – this is the certified ISOBUS task controller from Müller Elektronik. In this
application you can use the terminal for processing all tasks previously planned on the PC.
▪ISOBUS-UT - interface for controlling ISOBUS job computers. As soon as this application is
activated, the terminal complies with the ISOBUS standard ISO 11783. It can then be used as an
ISOBUS terminal (UT) on all implements that meet the requirements of this ISOBUS standard,
regardless of the manufacturer.
If you also want to operate ISOBUS job computers with the terminal, you must activate this
application.
