Getting Started Guide
Items Included in Your ORIGOSafe™ Kit
Your ORIGOSafe™ kit contains the materials your installer needs to install the ORIGOSafe™ in your
vehicle. Below is a diagram and brief description of everything that should be included in your kit:
ORIGOSafe™ Unit (1)
12V Relay Harness (1)
ORIGO™ Sticker (1)
12V Relay (1)
ORIGO™ DriveCase (1)
Service/Valet Cards (5)
(Some items enlarged to show detail)
Inline Fuse Holder (1)

Installation
In order for your ORIGOSafe™ warranty to apply, the device must be installed in your vehicle by a
certified installer (a list of certified installers can be found at driveorigo.com). Your installer has been
trained on the proper methods of installation of your ORIGOSafe™.
If possible, it will be best to meet with the installer in person when scheduling the installation.
Determining the mounting location of the ORIGOSafe™ within the vehicle and any mounting hardware
necessary in advance of the scheduled install will give the installer time to order the correct mounting
brackets, etc. from vendors like RAM Mount , ProClipUSA, or Panavise.
The ORIGOSafe™ can be installed without any additional mounting hardware; however, the vehicle-
specific mounts can facilitate an install with no screw holes.
Step-by-Step Guide to Pre-Install Meeting
1. Determine who the Administrator(s) will be for this vehicle. Be extremely careful not to share the
Administrator PIN with anyone but the Administrator. If you reveal this pin to a user who is not an
Administrator, you will compromise the effectiveness of the solution.
2. Provide the installer with the make, model, and year of the vehicle. Give them the VIN if possible. You
will also need to inform them if it is a remote start vehicle.
3. Look over the vehicle with the installer if possible, to locate your preferred mounting site for the
ORIGOSafe™ docking station.
4. Discuss vehicle use with installer to determine if the Parking Brake integration is necessary, and for
which drivers. If the vehicle is primarily going to be used by a teen, there is no need to integrate the
parking brake, as ORIGO™ recommends this feature not be granted to teens, or any other driver who
may abuse that feature.
5. Schedule appointment. Remember that your installer may have to order mounting equipment, and
your installation will have to wait until that order arrives.
6. Save any documentation of the installation for your records, and fill out the Installer Information
section at the end of this manual.
Once you have had the ORIGOSafe™ installed, you will only be able to start your vehicle when an
authorized phone is properly inserted into the ORIGOSafe™. See below for step-by-step guide on
everyday operation!

Normal Operation Guide
Step-by-Step Normal Operation 1. Insert the ORIGOSafe™- approved cell phone into the
ORIGOSafe™. (See Administrator Quick Reference Guide for
instructions on adding a cell phone to the list of Authorized
Users, and other programming/configuring functions)
2. The ORIGOSafe™ will immediately verify whether the
cell phone is authorized for use in the vehicle. If the cell phone
is approved, the LED on the right side of the dock will turn from
red to green, indicating that the vehicle may now be started and
operated normally.
3. The approved cell phone must remain in the docking
station for the duration of the “trip” (the period from the time the
engine is started until it is shut off again).
4. At the conclusion of vehicle operation, the engine can be
shut off in the normal manner. Once the engine is shut down, the cell phone can be safely
removed from the ORIGOSafe™ without penalty.
Cell Phone Removal While Engine is Running
If the cell phone is removed from the docking station while the engine is
running, the ORIGOSafe™ will sound an alarm until either the phone is
replaced or the vehicle is turned off. During the duration of the alarm, the
LED on the right side of the ORIGOSafe™ will flash red. After the phone is
replaced, this LED will remain red.
The red LED indicates the occurrence of an “event”, which will be marked
in the “trip counter” (see description in Terms). Under the factory default
settings, only one removal is permitted per trip. This means that if the
phone is removed from the docking station during a trip, when the engine
is turned off, the phone is removed from the list of authorized users, and
cannot be used to restart the vehicle.
At this point, an administrator must be contacted to either a. re-authorize
the phone or b. provide the driver with a One Time Use Code in order to start the vehicle (See
Section titled One Time Use Codes).

6
Terms
Event
An event is an incident in which the phone is removed from the ORIGOSafe™ while the vehicle’s engine
is on (resulting in sounding of the ORIGOSafe™ alarm), which is recorded by the trip counter and
cumulative counter.
Trip Counter
The trip counter is a tool used by the administrator to track the number of phone removals from the
ORIGOSafe™ docking station. Each removal is counted as an event. A trip is the duration of time from
when the vehicle is started to when it is turned off.
The factory default setting for the trip counter is one removal, after which the vehicle will not restart
following the conclusion of the trip in which the event took place. The driver must then contact the
administrator to either have the phone re-authorized or receive a One Time Use Code before being able
to start the vehicle again.
Cumulative Counter
The cumulative counter is similar to the trip counter, but it counts the total number of phone removals or
events in a calendar month. After exceeding the cumulative number of events allowed/configured by the
administrator, the phone will become unauthorized, and cannot be used to start the vehicle. The driver
must then contact the administrator to either have the phone re-authorized or receive a One Time Use
Code before being able to start the vehicle again.
Configuring Your ORIGOSafe™
See the Administrator Quick Reference Guide included with this manual for a full list of the Admin-
configurable functions of the ORIGOSafe™ and their corresponding keystrokes.
Special Features
Service/Valet Mode
When the vehicle needs to be temporarily operated by drivers who are not on the list of authorized users
(such as mechanics, valets, etc.) the keypad can be used to allow temporary
access to the vehicle.
The administrator will create a 4-digit Service/Valet code to provide to these guest
users which, when entered into the keypad, will allow the vehicle to operate for a
short period of time before the ORIGOSafe™ sounds an alarm. The code will be
written on the Service/Valet cards provided in the ORIGOSafe™ kit.
After a configurable amount of time in use, (factory default is 3 minutes) the LED will flash red, and an
alarm will sound. This alarm will continue until one of the following actions is performed: a. the code
is re-entered (after turning off the vehicle) b. the vehicle is turned off c. an authorized phone is docked.
The Service/Valet Code can be entered and used as many times as needed by the guest driver.
However, there is a 15 second buffer that runs between each use.

7
Service/Valet Instructions:
1. Turn ignition to “on” position.
2. Enter 4-digit Service/Valet PIN into keypad, followed by “ENTER”. LED light on the right side of
the ORIGOSafe™ docking station will turn green.
3. Turn ignition over to start vehicle.
4. You now have 3 minutes to move the vehicle. After 3 minutes, the LED will begin to flash red and
the alarm will sound.
One Time Use Codes
6-digit One Time Use Codes allow the vehicle to be started and driven without an authorized phone in
the ORIGOSafe™.
The OTU code is only valid from the moment the vehicle is started until it is turned off, After which the
code is deleted from the list of acceptable codes and will no longer work in future attempts to start the
vehicle.
When using a One Time Use Code, once the vehicle is turned off, the guest driver will need to enter
another One Time Use Code in order to operate the vehicle again.
The administrator can create an unlimited number of 6-digit One Time Use Codes to provide to guest
users of the vehicle, or to authorized users in special circumstances.
Special One Time Use Codes
Special One Time Use Codes are 6-digit codes which allow the driver to stop and restart the vehicle an
unlimited number of times within a configurable number of hours.
Special One Time Use Codes are for authorized drivers who are temporarily unable to insert their usual
authorized phone into the ORIGOSafe™, but must stop and restart the vehicle many times throughout
their period of use (e.g. a bread truck driver making deliveries who has lost his or her phone but must
continue to make deliveries).
For these unique circumstances, a Special One Time Use Code may be provided to the driver.
Simply set the number of hours the driver should be able to operate the vehicle, and provide the driver
with the unique 6 digit code. They will then be able to freely operate, start, and stop the vehicle within the
period of time you configured.
After the duration of a Special One Time Use Code has expired, the code will be deleted from the list of
acceptable codes, and will no longer work in future attempts to start the vehicle.

Parking Brake Function
The Parking Brake Function is an optional feature intended only for drivers who will frequently be in
situations where they are idling with the vehicle in a stopped position (e.g. waiting in a car line at a school,
sitting at a truck stop, etc.)
This feature is configured by the Administrator as he or she sees fit;
Drivers who the administrator believes will be in these situations are
often the only drivers for whom this function is enabled.
How it works: When the parking brake is engaged, the driver will be
allowed to remove his phone from the ORIGOSafe™ docking station
without it being noted as an event and without triggering the trip counter
or cumulative counter.
If a user is authorized to use the Parking Brake Function, the amber
LEDs on the left side of the ORIGOSafe™ will turn green when the
vehicle is on and the parking brake is engaged, indicating that the
phone can be removed from the dock.
Accompanying the Parking Brake Function is a feature known as Soft Stop Time.
Soft Stop Time is a configurable grace period (default is 15 seconds) which the ORIGOSafe™ will allow
before counting an event in case you remove your phone from the ORIGOSafe™ while the parking brake
is engaged, and do not replace it before disengaging the parking brake.
If you replace the phone within the 15 seconds of Soft Stop Time while the beeping alarm/red LED flash
is going off, it will not be counted as an event.
Accessories
ORIGO™ DriveCase
The ORIGO™ DriveCase is a proprietary case for your phone designed by CaseMate
specifically for use with the ORIGOSafe™. Your phone is required to have an ORIGO™
DriveCase: The DriveCase ensures that your phone will be correctly guided into the
ORIGOSafe™ docking station. Attempted use without a DriveCase will not allow the
phone to connect to the ORIGOSafe™ and may damage the ORIGOSafe™ docking
station and/or your phone.
Adapter Block
In order to use the ORIGOSafe™with certain phones, an Adapter Block is necessary
to properly guide the phone in its ORIGO™DriveCase into the ORIGOSafe™. The
iPhone 4, iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy S3 and S4, and other leading smart phones are
not the same size, therefore an adapter is necessary to ensure that each is seated
properly within the ORIGOSafe™ and connects correctly.

Help!
Service/Valet Troubleshooting
If the vehicle does not turn on:
You may have entered an incorrect 4-digit Service/Valet PIN. Enter PIN again, followed by ENTER. If
vehicle still does not turn on, contact administrator.
If you’re driving, and hear an alarm:
The default Service/Valet period after entering the 4-digit PIN is 3 minutes. After 3 minutes, the alarm will
sound and the right-hand LED on the ORIGOSafe™ will turn red. If this occurs, simply stop the vehicle
and re-enter the service/valet pin to drive normally for another 3 minutes.
FAQs
Q: Will my phone ever run out of battery while docked in the ORIGOSafe™?
A: No. The ORIGOSafe™ will charge the phone the entire time it is docked, and the ignition is on.
Q: What happens if I turn my ignition to the “on” position without my phone in the ORIGOSafe™?
A: The ignition can be turned to the "on" position without a phone in the ORIGOSafe™. This enables the
stereo, air conditioning, and any other functions that may be available on the vehicle without the engine
running. This will also enable the phone to begin charging if it is placed in the ORIGOSafe™.
Q: What if my phone’s battery is dead and I need to start my car?
A: If your phone's battery is completely dead, it will not initially be recognized when inserted in the
ORIGOSafe™, but you are able to charge it enough to start your vehicle by doing the following:
iPhone: Option 1. Turn your vehicle ignition to "on," but don't try to turn it over. This will turn your
electric functions on, thereby charging the phone when it is set in the docking station. When the phone
has charged enough to turn on, it will automatically do so, and the vehicle can then be started. Option
2: Enter the service valet code, and drive in that mode (which will charge the phone as you drive); when
the alarm goes off at the end of the short service period, the authorized phone will automatically be
recognized (as it has now charged for 3 minutes), and you can continue driving as usual.
Samsung: Turn your vehicle ignition to "on," but don't try to turn it over. This will turn your electric
functions on, thereby charging the phone when it is set in the docking station. When the phone has
charged for approximately 3 minutes, remove it from the docking station and turn it on- the vehicle can
then be started.
Q: Will the ORIGOSafe™ ever turn my vehicle off while I am driving if I remove my phone?
A: No. The ORIGO™ will never shut your vehicle off, only prevent it from being turned on. If the phone is
removed from the ORIGO™ docking station while you are driving, a loud alarm will sound indefinitely
until either the vehicle is turned off, or the phone is replaced. This alarm going off, even for a second,
tells you that once you turn off your vehicle, you will no longer be able to start it again without first
contacting your administrator for a One Time Use Code.
Q: Can I still use my phone’s GPS while driving?
A: Yes, but only the audio function is safe to use while driving. To use your GPS while driving, you must
first enter the desired destination information before starting the vehicle. Once you have done this,
place the authorized phone in the ORIGOSafe™ and start the vehicle as usual. Now you can safely listen
to the verbal directions dictated to you by the phone's GPS function.
