SERIAL - MODEM
(data interface)
This function enables to connect an
external device (e.g.: portable com-
puter) to the CONNECT Nav system
that in this case will act as a modem.
To implement such configuration the
link between the external device and
the CONNECT Nav system connec-
tion (to be found in central position
under the dashboard) shall be per-
formed using the cable provided with
the system.
The max. data transmission speed is
that provided for the cellular tele-
phone mode (TEL) and is equal to 9.6
Kbps, as established by the commu-
nication with GSM cell network.
During data transmission (modem
function on), the CONNECT Nav
condition is the following:
– telephone mode off (TEL-OFF);
– incoming calls blocked;– call forwarding blocked;
– navigator (NAV) function can be
activated; if navigation is on data trans-
mission can be slow;
– all audio functions (radio, CD) can
be activated
– emergency call can be forwarded
by pressing •25-fig. 1.
IMPORTANTThe modem func-
tion cannot be activated during a call.IMPORTANTPress button •to
abort the modem function; the system
will restore the GSM telephone mode
for the selected function and will re-
quest to enter the PIN code; data ex-
changed during transmission will be
lost (unless data back-up have been
performed by user’s computer appli-
cations).
The modem function will not be re-
stored automatically by the system
when the emergency or service call is
over. To restore it repeat the proce-
dure from the beginning.

Operation requirements
The “FLEET MANAGEMENT” func-
tion is operational if the following con-
ditions are present:
– “FLEET MANAGEMENT” function
active;
– service centre telephone number
entered;
– vehicle ID entered;
– frequency set (timeor route);
– CONNECT on;
– SIM card inserted;
– sufficient credit;
– GSM coverage.Failing message sending
Should one or more of the following
conditions - e.g.: CONNECT off, SIM
card not inserted or disabled, insuffi-
cient GSM coverage - take place when
sending SMS messages, their regular
transmission will be impaired.
In this case the system will store the
messages and send them later (max.
10 messages) when normal operating
conditions are restored.IMPORTANTMore particularly,
the condition of CONNECT off will
store the messages with incorrect po-
sition, since the first position present
at system switching on will be detect-
ed.

The operations to be carried out for
each of the above described conditions
are listed below.
1) To receive stations enabled to
broadcast traffic information:
– choose band FM1, FM2 or FM3;
– turn on the TA function so that the
display shows “TA”;
– start seeking the frequencies.
2) If you wish to receive traffic infor-
mation while listening to a CD, before
inserting the CD, tune to a station en-
abled to broadcast traffic information
(TP) and turn the TA function on. If,
while playing the CD, this station
broadcasts traffic information, CD
playing will be temporarily stopped and
resumed automatically at the end of
the message.
If the CD player is already working
and at the same time you wish to re-
ceive traffic information, turning on theTA function, the radio tunes to the last
station heard in the FM band and the
traffic announcements are transmitted.
If the station selected does not broad-
cast traffic information, an enabled sta-
tion is sought automatically.
To stop traffic announcement, turn
off the TA function while receiving traf-
fic messages.
If the tuned station belongs to the
EON (ENHANCED OTHER NET-
WORK) circuit, the display will show
“EON”
A telephone call has higher priority
than traffic message.
IMPORTANT In certain countries,
radio stations exist which though the
TP function is active (the display shows
“TP”), do not broadcast traffic infor-
mation.If the radio is working in the AM
band, choosing the FM band tunes to
the last station heard. If the chosen
station does not broadcast traffic in-
formation (“TP” not shown on the dis-
play), an automatic search is started
for an enabled station.
If the volume is changed during a traf-
fic bulletin the value is not shown on
the display and the new value is kept
only for the bulletin in progress.
IMPORTANTIf the TA function is
on and the station tuned is not enabled
to provide traffic information or is no
longer able to broadcast this informa-
tion (the display does not show “TP”),
after about 1 minute in which the ra-
dio is in these conditions:
– if a CD is being played another sta-
tion enabled to broadcast traffic in-
formation is sought automatically.
