serted; if no CD is inserted, the field
is empty)
– street (only with navigation CD in-
serted; if no CD is inserted, the field
is empty)
– time and date
– vehicle ID (number plate).Example: LT:-2.30000;LG:-2.40000; #Benevento;#

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.
