PC Connection (Windows)
1. Power-up FMB204 with DC voltage (6 – 30 V) power supply
using power cable. LED’s should start blinking, see “LED
indications”.
2. Connect device to computer using Micro-USB cable or
Bluetooth connection:
•Using Micro-USB cable
▬You will need to install USB drivers, see “How to install
USB drivers (Windows)”
•Using Bluetooth
▬FMB204 Bluetooth is enabled by default. Turn on
Bluetooth on your PC, then select Add Bluetooth or
other device > Bluetooth. Choose your device named –
“FMBxxx_last_7_imei_digits”, without LE in the end.
Enter default password 5555, press Connect and then
select Done.

How to install USB drivers
(Windows)
1. Please download COM port drivers from here.
2. Extract and run TeltonikaCOMDriver.exe.
3. Click Next in driver installation window.
4. In the following window click Install button.
Setup will continue installing the driver and eventually the
confirmation window will appear. Click Finish to complete the
setup.
Configuration (Windows)
At first FMB204 device will have default factory settings set. These
settings should be changed according to the user's needs. Main
configuration can be performed via Teltonika Configurator
software. Get the latest Configurator version from here.
Configurator operates on Microsoft Windows OS and uses
prerequisite MS .NET Framework. Make sure you have the correct
version installed.

Configuration process begins by pressing on connected device
(Figure 11 Device connected via USB).
After connection to Configurator Status window will be displayed
(Figure 12 Configurator Status window).
Various Status window tabs display information about GNSS,
GSM,I/O, Maintenance and etc. FMB204 has one user editable
profile, which can be loaded and saved to the device. After any
modification of configuration the changes need to be saved to
device using Save to device button. Main buttons offer following
functionality:
1. Load from device – loads configuration from device.
2. Save to device – saves configuration to device.
3. Load from file – loads configuration from file.
4. Save to file – saves configuration to file.
5. Update firmware – updates firmware on device.
6. Read records – reads records from the device.
7. Reboot device – restarts device.
8. Reset configuration – sets device configuration to
default.
Most important configurator section is GPRS – where all your
server and GPRS settings can be configured and Data Acquisition
–where data acquiring parameters can be configured.
More details about FMB204 configuration using Configurator can
be found in our Wiki.

best performance of track quality and data usage.
Quickly set up your device by sending this SMS command to it:
Note: Before SMS text, two space symbols should be inserted.
GPRS settings:
•2001 – APN
•– APN username (if there2002
are no APN username, empty
field should be left)
•– APN password (if there2003
are no APN password, empty
field should be left)
Server settings:
•– Domain2004
•– Port2005
•– Data sending protocol2006
(0 – TCP, 1 – UDP)
Default configuration settings

On Moving if one of these events happen:
300 seconds passes
Vehicle turns 10 degrees
Vehicle drives 100
meters
Speed difference
between last coordinate
and current position is
greater than 10 km/h

Mounting recommendations
•Connecting wires
▬Wires should be fastened to stable wires or other non-
moving parts. Any heat emitting and/or moving objects
should be kept away from the wires.
▬There should be no exposed wires. If factory isolation was
removed while connecting the wires, the isolation material
should be applied.
▬If the wires are placed in the exterior or in places where they
can be damaged or exposed to heat, humidity, dirt, etc.,
additional isolation should be applied and the wires should
not be loose.
▬Wires cannot be connected to the board computers or
control units.
•Connecting power source
▬Be sure that after the car computer goes to sleep mode,
power might be still available on the power wires.
Depending on the car model, this may happen in 5 to 30
minutes period.
▬When the module is connected, measure the voltage again
to make sure it did not decrease.
▬It is recommended to connect to the main power cable in
the fuse box.
▬3 A, 125 V external fuse shall be used.
•Connecting ignition wire
▬Be sure to check if it is a real ignition wire i. e. power does
not disappear after starting the engine.
▬Check if this is not an ACC wire (when key is in the first
position, most of the vehicle electronics are available).
▬Check if power is still available when you turn off any of
vehicles devices.
▬Ignition is connected to the ignition relay output. As
alternative, any other relay, which has power output when
ignition is on, may be chosen.
•Connecting ground wire
▬Ground wire is connected to the vehicle frame or metal
parts that are fixed to the frame.
▬If the wire is fixed with the bolt, the loop must be connected
to the end of the wire.
▬For better contact scrub paint from the spot where loop is
going to be connected.
PAY ATTENTION! Connecting the power supply must be
carried out in a very low impedance point of on-board
vehicle network. Connecting the GND at an arbitrary
point to the mass of the car is unacceptable, as static
and dynamic potentials on the line GND will be
unpredictable, which can lead to unstable FMB204
operation and even its failure.
