2.5 Battery handling safety
When your device has a battery pack you must also observe the following cautions:
If the battery pack is mishandled, the battery pack can burst, cause a fire or even chemical
burns.
Do not crush and do not expose the battery pack to any shock or force such as hammering,
dropping or stepping on it.
Do not short circuit and do not allow metal objects to come into contact with the battery
terminals.
Do not expose to high temperature (limiting values provided in user manuals and datasheets)
such as in direct sunlight.
Do not incinerate or dispose of in fire.
Do not handle damaged or leaking lithium ion batteries.
Caution! If an incorrect type of battery is used for replacement, there is a high explosion risk.
Dispose used batteries according to the environmental requirements.
Any installation and/or handling during a lightning storm is prohibited.
When it comes time to replace your batteries, make sure you are disposing of the old batteries
properly so no laws are broken. Check with your local solid waste management district for any
outlets for household battery recycling. Everything from AAA cells to mobile phone batteries
and button cells must be separated from household rubbish. For disposal of small quantities of
batteries, see if your local hardware/auto parts store or battery retailer will accept them for
recycling. Recycling bins in shops or other recycling points can also be used. Note, that most
large battery recycling agencies and disposal companies are usually set up to serve industrial
or municipal customers with bulk amounts of batteries rather than individuals.

4. Device preparation
In order for the device to work you have to configure it
and insert a SIM card. To do so, you have to open the
device’s enclosure. It has no screws; the top part can be
easily removed using a screw driver or a similar tool ( see
figure on the right ).
4.1 Opening/Closing the device
Use a screwdriver or a similar tool to open up the plastic
housing of the device. It is recommended to use a “slot”
type screwdriver ( see figure on the right ). Inappropriate
tools might cause permanent damage to the device.
FM-Plug4/4+ PCB is made out of 3 smaller PCB’s parts. The main PCB with the OBD connector is at the
bottom. PCB with the GSM modem and antenna is at the top. PCB with the GPS/GLONASS module and
antenna is on the left side. These parts must be joined together ( see figure below ) before placing them
into the plastic housing.
To correctly assemble the device you have to know the exact positions of all the plastic pins used to
hold the PCB in place ( see below ).
Proper assembly sequence:
1. The bottom part of the fully assembled PCB goes under the plastic pin 1 ( see below ).
2. The other side of the PCB is pressed down under the plastic pins 2 and 3 until you hear a
“click” sound, which indicates that the PCB is locked in its place.
3. Finally use a small screw to fasten the PCB ( see below ).
To correctly seal the plastic housing of the device, start by placing the plastic lid at either side of the
device ( see figure below ). Then push the remaining side down until the housing is fully closed.

5.2 Default configuration
The purpose of the default configuration is to help configure the FM device for the first time in order to
send basic data to the server. The latest version of the configurator can be downloaded on our
documentation website.
System requirements:
Operating system: MS Windows 7/8/10
The latest version of the Microsoft Framework.
Follow these steps to load the default configuration:
1. Open the configurator folder and run FM4 configurator.exe. The configurator will open.
2. Select your FM device from the drop-down list. Tco4 HCV is selected by default.
3. Click the File tab, located at the top left side of the configurator, and select Open default CFG.
Configuration file information
The configurator will display additional information regarding the loaded configuration. The following
information will be displayed at the top of the configurator once the configuration is loaded:
1. Configuration source –can be one of the following:
Configurator –means that the configuration is loaded from the PC.
Device [Device_IMEI] –means that the configuration was received from the FM device.
2. FM device FW version –will be displayed only if the configuration was received from the
device.
3. FM4 configurator version –displays the configurator version on which the currently loaded
configuration was made.
4. Target device –displays the FM device model for which this configuration was created or from
which device it was downloaded.
5. CFG Tag –additional information that you can save with the configuration file. The maximum
length is 32 symbols, only printable ASCII characters are allowed.
6. Last edited –displays the date and time when the configuration was last edited. If the
configuration was edited from a computer, the time will be the same as the computer’s local
time. If the configuration was received from the device, and the device currently has no time
from any source, the date and time will be shown as the beginning of this century (2000/01/01
00:00:00).
7. If any changes were made to the currently loaded configuration, a small “*” symbol will appear
next to the name of the configuration.

Other essential configuration steps:
Default parameters will be loaded. However, you will need to enter the other parameters on your own.
1. Select which protocol will be used: UDP protocol is less reliable than the TCP but also uses less
traffic. TCP uses more internet traffic, but it is more reliable. Choose one according to your
needs.
2. Enter an IP address (255.255.255.255 format) or a Domain Name (no longer than 40
characters) along with a Port in the Connection settings where the device will send collected
data. No default server is provided.
3. Fill the APN settings (Access Point Name). This includes the APN name, user login and
password (if login and password are needed). No default APN is provided.

5.3 Advanced configuration
The configuration tool is quite similar to the ones used
for other 4th generation devices. Overview of the
configuration is described in sections.
The File menu gives you access to control
configuration files. Choose New/Save/Open CFG to
perform the corresponding action. CFG means full
configuration file.
New CFG wizard –It helps users to go through all basic configuration steps.
The Tools menu contains:
Language selection options: English or Russian are available.
Diagnostics tool.
Save/Open DIFF allows you to create a DIFF file. DIFF files are used to change only one or few certain
parameters without a need to upload the full configuration to the device. It is useful, when updating
over-the-air.
Attention
A DIFF file will save all made changes to a configuration. For example changing a number in the IP
filed, or marking a checkbox, but, if a change was made, and afterwards reverted to the previous state
(checkbox checked, and unchecked afterwards), this will not be marked as a "change made". DIFF will
only record changes made to the initial configuration (a loaded pre-set configuration is considered an
initial configuration). Particular attention must be taken, when creating a DIFF file, to avoid accidental
changes to the configuration.
The control panel on the left-hand side allows you to select and control the device.
Select the COM port that the device is connected to and click “Connect”. At this
point the FM4 configurator checks the compatibility between itself and firmware in
the device. Every firmware version is released together with a recommended FM4
configurator. More information about different firmwares and recommended
configurators for them can be found in firmware changelogs. After the compatibility
check, three outcomes are possible:
1. The firmware and configurator versions are compatible. Go ahead and continue
configuring the FM device.
2. The configurator is too old for the current firmware version. An error message
will appear. The “Send CFG” and “Get CFG” buttons will be disabled. You will
need to download a new version of the configurator, recommended for the
firmware version.
3. The firmware is too old for the current configurator version. An error message will appear. The
configurator will suggest to update the firmware automatically. To update the firmware, click
“Yes”. The firmware will be updated to the version supported by the configurator. This can be
done without an internet connection. Click “No” to close the message without updating the
firmware. If the firmware is not updated, the “Send CFG” and “Get CFG” buttons will be
disabled. We highly recommend using the latest firmware and configurator.
The “Send CFG” and “Get CFG” buttons are used to send and receive the configuration file to/from the
device.

5.3.1 Global settings
The first part of the configuration tool is “Global” settings. Global includes connection settings and other
settings independent from the profile settings –global settings are the same for all profiles.
Connection settings –here you should enter server IP and port that the device should connect to.
The IP can be entered in the numeric format: 255.255.255.255. You can also use a Domain name (not
exceeding 40 characters). IP2 is a backup IP address, which is used when the device is unable to
connect to the first server.
Note
Please have in mind that ports for TCP and UDP transfer protocols usually are different –please select
the correct transfer protocol and enter the correct port.
Two servers –checkbox changes the logic described above. It enables a two servers mode –
the same data is repeatedly transmitted to another server with IP2, unless we get a timeout. IP1
is dedicated IP for server, from which we get the ACK’s for our record packets sent. After we get
the ACK from this IP, record data is considered as successfully transmitted to the server and it is
removed from the memory.
In this mode data is sent to IP2 only when connection to the IP1 is established. Packet, which is
sent to the IP1 server is also sent to the IP2 server.
Only records are going to be send to the IP2. Data packets such as Transparent Channel,
Tachograph, SD card, Garmin will not be send to the IP2.
Unable to send data:
When unable to establish connection to IP1, device does not connect to the IP2 as well. When
connected to IP1 and doing data transmission, but IP2 is unreachable –after receiving ACK from
IP1 server, data is removed from memory, which can cause information loss in IP2 server.
Note
Two server mode doubles the amount of data that is being sent. Before using this functionality consider
the cost which arises from the higher data traffic.

Note
Older firmware versions also including the FM-Plug4 00.01.03.02 are no longer supported. If any bugs
are found in these firmwares, they will not be fixed.
Periodical redirect –clicking on this button will open the “Periodical redirect” window. This
functionality is used to periodically redirect the FM device to a specified server to initiate
automatic configuration or firmware updates when using 3rd party tracking software. The
following settings can be changed:
IP –the IP address of the server.
The default value is 92.62.134.34;
Port –the port of the server. Note:
the redirection is done using the TCP
protocol. The default value is 9015.
Period –how often the device
should connect to the server. The
period is measured in hours. The
default value is 0 hours. The
maximum value is 168 hours (1
week). If it is set to 0 hours, the functionality is disabled.
Once the period timer passes, the device checks the following conditions:
If there are unsent records in device memory;
If the GSM level is lower than 9;
If the power supply voltage status is 0 (refer to the version SMS command);
If the device is in a critical process.
If at least one condition is true, the device waits until no conditions are true. If none of the
conditions are true, the device connects to the previously configured server. The device then
initiates updates and closes the connection. After the connection to the server is closed, the
period timer is reset to zero.
Protocol sections allows you to choose from two protocols. UDP protocol is less reliable than the TCP,
but also uses less traffic. TCP uses more internet traffic, but it is more reliable. Choose one according to
your needs.
Note
If the IP, port or APN fields are greyed out when the device is connected to the configurator, their
values cannot be changed.
APN settings are needed for internet connection. These settings must be provided by your mobile
network provider. Without APN settings the device will not send any data.
Configuration password allows to lock the configuration –without the password no one can change
the device configuration via cable. However, over-the-air update ignores the configuration password.
Send data without GPS fix –device cold-start often causes problems because it is not sending data,
therefore the user is unable to see parameter values until GPS fix is obtained. This functionality allows
data sending even when there is no GPS fix. A full functionality description can be found in “Send data
without GPS fix” document on our documentation website.
When the device loses GPS fix, there is no way to determine its location. GSM tracking feature can be
used to obtain an approximate location in densely urbanized areas, where GNSS signal is not available.
A full functionality description can be found in “Send data without GPS fix” document on our
documentation website.
Towing detection –with Towing detection driver can be informed, that his car is being towed.
Information about such event is sent to the server, therefore driver might still have time to come back
