Embedded below is a short video showing the general steps to install a Teltonika Vehicle Telematics devices. The device in the video is an FM3622, but these steps can also be applied to most other devices.<br/><br/> | |||
'''''Note:''' Devices like the [[FMT100]] and FMB0XY series devices ([[FMB001]], [[FMB002]], [[FMB003]], [[FMB010]], [[FMB020]], [[FMC001]]) have their own special simplified installation process, so this video does not apply to them.''<br/><br/> | |||

Teltonika devices come with the internal backup battery disconnected (unless specially ordered), so before installation you must open the device and connect the battery. While the device casing is open, insert the SIM card you will use with your device. | Teltonika devices come with the internal backup battery disconnected (unless specially ordered), so before installation you must open the device and connect the battery.

Unless your device has a special installation method, the device will have to be connected to wires inside the dashboard. Use the multimeter to find the main power wire by testing wires until the multimeter reads around 12-13 V. | Unless your device has a special installation method, the device will have to be connected to wires inside the dashboard.

If your device uses external antennas, thread them through the dashboard and fasten them in place. The external GNSS antenna reciever should be as close the the windshield as possible, obstructed by the least amount of metal. Likewise, device with internal antennas should be also placed as close to the windshield as possible. | If your device uses external antennas, thread them through the dashboard and fasten them in place.
