SW version 3.19 & 3.20

Dear user, many thanks for choosing CommandCall CC2 unit. We believe this unit will fulfil your needs and
expectations.
Please leave ComamndCall installation into the vehicle to authorised Installation Centre as it must be
connected with other equipment of the vehicle (independent heater, alarm, ...).
GSM communication module CommandCall CC2 can be used in any type of vehicle due to its voltage auto
sensing feature (auto sensing 12 / 24V).
Integrated quad band GSM module Siemens enables CommandCall to work in all GSM networks. For user
comfort it is possible to use temperature values either in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
This manual describes step by step functions of GSM communications module CommandCall CC2 in point
of view of the user - describes the format of SMS control commands, behaviour of the device and reports
sent to the user, unit controls via phone call with tone dial functions, control via in the vehicle installed
ON/OFF push button and control by external clock.
Installation and work with PC Setup program used for initial CommandCall CC2 setup, unit installation in
the vehicle and its initialisation are described in separate Installations Manual.
Basic commands overview is helpful tool for the heater control in form of credit card which can be kept by
the user all the time ready to use.
this sign shows important warnings and remarks in this manual, please pay adequate
attention to them.
Before installing new SIM card into CommandCall control unit setup SIM card PIN to 0000
(default SIM PIN set during HW production). In the case you would like to have other SIM PIN
than 0000 such SIM PIN code must be written to CommandCall unit before its installation to the
vehicle by PC Setup !
By typing wrong SIM PIN code in the CommandCall PC Setup programme the SIM card
will be blocked (system tries to register to GSM network repeatedly and will use all 3
allowed attempts to give correct PIN code of the SIM card).
It is possible to use SIM card with disabled PIN code. In such case is SIM PIN code written to
CommandCall unit ignored.
SMS commands sent from free SMS gates of internet providers may be in some cases ignored
(SMS commands starting with text information are intentionally ignored, because the format of
SMS command is fixed and all SMS commands must start with number).
SMS reports are a kind of a feed back information on heater operation so it is important to
enable sending at least SMS reports when heater/ventilation is switched ON.

1. General description
GSM communication module CommandCall CC2 is used for transfer of control commands and reports
between the user and the vehicle via SMS in GSM network and via phone calls with tone dial function to
control connected device (independent heater) via control signals 300 mA.
CommandCall CC2 enables:
•control and monitoring of the status of independent heater in vehicle via SMS commands and reports
and by phone call with tone dial function
•to switch ON the heater (ventilation) by phone call ringing without establishing full connection - this
requires no charges from network operator
•to switch ON the heater (ventilation) and to switch it OFF by ON/OFF push button with LED indication
in the vehicle
•to toggle heater / ventilation mode by ON/OFF push button with LED indication in the vehicle
•to activate / deactivate external clock (e.g. if control signals of external clock are accepted or not by
main control unit)
•voice messages language selection for heater/ventilation control by phone call with tone dial function
(14 languages available)
•to measure actual in car temperature with indication of reaching preset limit values
•automatic temperature control within temperature interval (thermostat)
•to measure actual voltage of vehicle battery with indication of its decrease below preset limit value
•paging of car alarm and external device alarm status information with possibility to handle alarm states
independently or as logically related
•activation / deactivation of optional outputs +300 mA and -300 mA (simultaneous activation /
deactivation)
Integrated part of the CommandCall is built in GSM module (phone) supporting any GSM mobile operator
at 850/900/1800/1900 MHz. In the system may be used any post-paid or prepaid SIM card. In the case of
using prepaid SIM card it is important to watch SIM card validity (expiration) and keeping necessary credit
available on the card to be sure the system is ready to send SMS report to the user when needed. Some
mobile operators offer the feature of automatic maintenance of minimal credit.
Enabling / disabling functions of the system is done by activation/deactivating relevant checkbox (sending
SMS related to execution of specific function, activation/deactivation of selected function, selection to show
temperature in °C or °F, ...).
CommandCall CC2 memory can store up to 6 so called VIP phone numbers with granted special rights for
system control. VIP users can switch heater/ventilation by phone call ringing and they do not need to use
password in SMS commands or in tone dial phone call. It is possible to allow all other users to send SMS
commands without a password too (password disable function).

2. Unit control
The user communicates with in the car installed unit via sending and receiving SMS, by making phone call
with tone dial function or directly by ON/OFF push button in the vehicle. All mentioned ways of control is
possible to combine. Control signals of external clock can be override by SMS commands, by phone call
commands or by ON/OFF push button operation. It means if heater was switched ON by external clock
then SMS command “0” or pressing ON/OFF push button will switch OFF the heater.
Format of sent commands is fixed, the format (text) of SMS reports which CommandCall sends to the user
may be set during the unit installation. All parameters except PIN code of SIM card may be changed / set
during standard operation by specific SMS command.
Control by phone call is done through 2 way communication, when CommandCall CC2 delivers voice
messages to the user and accepts user’s commands given by pressing phone buttons during phone call.
Communication can be in preset language from 14 languages available (English, German, Slovak, Czech,
Swedish, Norwegian, Polish, French, Russian, Hungarian, Finish, Danish, Italian and Spanish).
It is important to activate only those checkboxes which reports are necessary for proper user information
and correct operation of the unit especially for giving feedback information to user when switching ON the
heater. Keep in mind, please, that sending SMS reports is charged according to used prepaid or post-paid
program of respective GSM network operator.
2.1. Switching ON the heater by phone call ringing

such case nothing happens. Incoming phone call is not indicated in the vehicle and pressing ON/OFF
push button has no influence on phone call handling.
b. after 10 seconds is phone call from phone number listed among VIP numbers rejected by the system
and is processed as command to switch ON heater (ventilation) for time equal to HTP parameter value.
If checkbox No.5 (9) is activated then SMS report “Heater ON by phone call ringing” or SMS
“Ventilation ON by phone call ringing” is sent to the caller phone.
c. if heater or ventilation is already ON when the phone call is ringing then incoming phone call is
accepted and handled in mode of phone call with tone dial function regardless it is VIP or normal phone
number.
d. every phone call made from the phone number which is not listed among VIP phone numbers is
accepted immediately and handled in mode of phone call with tone dial functions regardless heater
(ventilation) is ON or OFF.
e. if checkbox No.25 is not activated then every phone call is accepted immediately and handled in mode
of phone call with tone dial functions regardless it is made by VIP or non VIP phone number and
regardless heater (ventilation) is ON or OFF.
f. after HTP minutes expiration heater (ventilation) is automatically switch OFF.

2.3. Heater control by phone call with tone dial functions
Control by phone call with tone dial functions is made as 2 way communication where CommandCall CC2
plays voice messages to user and accepts user commands by pressing phone buttons during phone call.
This method is used to control only basic functions of the unit:
Button Function
0 switch OFF heater / ventilation
1 switch ON heater for preset time (duration) HTP minutes
2 switch ON ventilation for preset time (duration) HTP minutes
3 request for actual status of the unit
4 activate external clock (control signals of external clock will be taken into consideration)
5 deactivate external clock (control signals of external clock are not taken into consideration)
After phone call is established system requires password from unknown phone numbers (not listed among
VIP phone numbers). When valid password is entered system announces actual status of the unit (Heater /
ventilation ON or OFF) and requests user to input command. User gives valid command by pressing some
of phone buttons 0 to 5. System acknowledges accepting of the command by voice message and requests
next command.
User has 5 seconds time limit to input command (to press button). In the case user will press no
button within time limit system requests command input again. If user input no command even
after the third request phone call is terminated.

Pressing any other button than 0, 1 to 5 is evaluated as invalid command and system requests to
input command again. If user inputs 3 times invalid command in the sequence then phone call is
terminated.
In the case checkbox No.24 is activated and during phone call was given command „3“ then
immediately after phone call termination Status SMS will be sent to the user (caller phone).
Communication (playing voice messages) can be selected in one from 14 languages. Language selection
which will be used for voice messages (parameter LANG) can be done by SMS command 281:
xxxx281-LANG=LL, xxxx is user password and LL is positive whole number in range 1 to 14.
(1 = English, 2 = German, 3 = Slovak, 4 = Czech, 5 = Swedish, 6 = Norwegian, 7 = Polish, 8 = French, 9 =
Russian, 10 = Hungarian, 11 = Finish, 12 = Danish, 13 = Italian, 14 = Spanish).
