How to insert SIM card and connect the battery*
- Gently remove device cover using plastic pry tool from both sides as it is showed in a 1st picture.
- Insert SIM card as shown with PIN request disabled or read Security info how to enter it later in Configurator. Make sure that SIM card cut-off corner is pointing forward to slot.
- Connect the battery as shown on device. Position the battery in place where it does not obstruct other components.
- Attach device cover back. Device is ready to be connected.
* If you would like to check how to insert SIM card into your particular device, you will find a link with all devices manuals here.
SIM card insertion/removal must be performed when device is powered off – external voltage and internal battery disconnected. Otherwise SIM card might be damaged or device will not detect it. |
PC Connection (Windows)
Power-up device with DC voltage (10 – 30 V)* power supply using supplied power cable. LED’s should start blinking, see “LED behaviour description”.
- Connect device to computer using USB cable or Bluetooth connection:
- Using USB cable
- You will need to install USB drivers, see "How to install USB drivers (Windows)"
- Using Bluetooth
- Device Bluetooth is enabled by default. Turn on Bluetooth on your PC, then select Add Bluetooth or other device > Bluetooth. Choose your device named – “FMxyzw_last_7_imei_digits”, without LE in the end. Enter default password 5555, press Connect and then select Done. Keep in mind that the FMx640 devices do not support configuration via Bluetooth.
- Using USB cable
- You are now ready to use the device on your computer.
* FMB900, FMB910, FMB920, MTB100, FMB202, FMB204 devices support (6 - 30 V) DC power supply.
How to install USB drivers (Windows)
- Please download COM port drivers from Teltonika here.
- Extract and run TeltonikaCOMDriver.exe.
- Click Next in driver installation window.
- 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 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.
MS .NET requirements | |||

Launch Configurator.exe. After launch software language can be changed by clicking in the right bottom corner:
Configuration process begins by pressing on connected device:
After connection to Configurator Status window will be displayed:
Various Status window tabs display information about GNSS, GSM, I/O, Maintenance and etc. FMB1YX can be loaded and saved to the device. After any modification of configuration changes need to be saved to device using Save to device button. Main buttons offer following functionalities:
- Load from device – loads configuration from device.
- Save to device – saves configuration to device.
- Load from file – loads configuration from file.
- Save to file – saves configuration to file.
- Update firmware – updates firmware on device.
- Read records – read records from device.
- Reboot device – restarts device.
- Reset configuration – sets device configuration to default.
Most important configurator sections are GPRS – where all your server and GPRS settings can be configured and Data Acquisition – where data acquiring parameters can be configured. More details about devices configuration using Configurator and more information about your particular device can be found in the manual.
Quick SMS configuration
Default configuration has optimal parameters present to ensure best performance of track quality and data usage.
Quickly set up your device by sending this SMS command to it:
" setparam 2001:APN;2002:APN_username;2003:APN_password;2004:Domain;2005:Port;2006:0"
GPRS settings:
- 2001 – APN
- 2002 – APN username (if there are no APN username, empty field should be left)
- 2003 – APN password (if there are no APN password, empty field should be left)
Server settings:
- 2004 – Domain
- 2005 – Port
- 2006 – Data sending protocol (0 – TCP, 1 – UDP)
Note: Before SMS text, two space symbols should be inserted.
After successful SMS configuration, device will synchronize time and update records to configured server. More SMS commands can be found here.
Mounting recommendations
- Connecting wires
- Wires should be connected while the module is not plugged in.
- 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 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 car, this may happen in 5 to 30 minutes period.
- When module is connected, measure 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. These points in the car are the battery terminals. Therefore, we recommend connecting the power of device (GND and POWER wires) directly to the battery terminals. Another valid option is to connect the wires to the main POWER cable inside the fuse box (if there is none, then to the power supply where the fuses of vehicle’s computer are), GND wire must be connected in a special point, designed to connect GND vehicle computer. 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 device operation and even its failure. |
Installation instructions
FMB2YX is the device that has internal GNSS and GSM antenna.
Internal GNSS antenna device should be mounted with the sticker view to the open sky
(metal free) with not less than ¾ of metal free area as shown in figure below.
FMB1YX can be mounted under the plastic panel behind the front window, with the sticker direction to a window (sky). It is recommended to place FMB1YX behind dashboard as close to the window as possible. A good example of GNSS antenna placement is displayed in a picture below (area colored green).
SIM card should be inserted in the module while the connector is plugged off (while module has no power).

- Before unmounting the device from the vehicle, ignition MUST be OFF.
- When connecting the wires2x6 connector wires to the vehicleconnection (1x5) cables to the vehicle, the appropriate jumpers of the vehicle power supply should be disconnected.
- When installing the connection cables to the vehicle, the appropriate jumpers of the power supply of the vehicle should be disconnected.
- Before unmounting the device from the vehicle, the 2x6 connector 1x5 connection must be disconnected.
- The device is designed to be mounted in a zone of limited access, which is inaccessible to the operator. All related devices must meet the requirements of EN 60950-1 standard.
