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.

CONNECT Nav

IMPORTANTStarting the engine
when the modem function is on, will
cause the connection drop with data
loss as a consequence. Stooping the
engine has no effect on data transmis-
sion since the CONNECT Nav will
stay on for other 20 minutes. If a GSM
communication is in progress the sys-
tem will automatically activate a new
window for other 20 minutes. Long
GSM communications (with data
transmission) can run down the vehi-
cle battery.

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;#

ly missing; in this case the vehicle posi-
tion is calculated through the “dead
reckoning” procedure.

Operation requirements
The “FLEET MANAGEMENT” func-
tion is operational if the following con-
ditions are present:

active;
– service centre telephone number
entered;
– vehicle ID entered;
– frequency set (timeor route);
– CONNECT on;

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

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-
