order to protect the product from being damaged by ESD (Electrostatic Discharge)
and EMI leakage, we strongly recommend the use of CE-compliant industrial enclo­sure products.

FCC Class B

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limit s for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installa­tion. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful inter­ference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interfer­ence to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equip­ment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:

 Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
 Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
 Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.

 Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

This device complies with Part 15 FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference may

cause undesired operation.

RF Exposure Information

This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.
This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for expo-

sure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission
of the U.S. Government.

 This device complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncon-

trolled environment. In order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio
frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the antenna shall not be less
than 20cm (8 inches) during normal operation.

v TREK-722/723 User Manual

15. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the

following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and

(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that

may cause undesired operation.

16. CAUTION: Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis

whenever you work with the hardware. Do not make connections while the
power is on. Sensitive electronic components can be damaged by sudden
power surges.

17. CAUTION: Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching

the motherboard, backplane, or add-on cards. Modern electronic devices are
very sensitive to static electric charges. As a safety precaution, use a gro unding
wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic components on a static-dissipative
surface or in a static-shielded bag when they are not in the chassis.

18. CAUTION: Any unverified component could cause unexpected damage. To

ensure the correct installation, please always use the components (ex. screws)
provided with the accessory box.

Safety Precaution - Static Electricity

Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and the products from
damage.

 To avoid electrical shock, always disconnect the power from your system chas-

sis before you work on it. Don't touch any components on the main board or
other cards while the system is on.

 Disconnect power before making any configuration changes. The sudden rush

of power as you connect a jumper or install a card may damage sensitive elec­tronic components.

Warning! 1. Input voltage rated: 6 ~ 36 Vdc (12/24V power).

2. Transport: carry the unit with both hands and handle with care.

3. Maintenance: to properly maintain and clean the surfaces, use only

approved products or clean with a dry applicator.

4. SD/SIM card: Turn off the power before inserting or removing the

storage cards.

2.2 Installation Procedures

TREK-722/723 User Manual 6

When you installing TREK-722/723, the first step will be connect the power and igni­tion correctly. TREK-722/723 power cable is designed to connect battery directly.
TREK-722/723 can be switched ON/OFF by the ignition signal or its power button

both.

2.2.1 Connecting the Power Cord

Connect the three pin waterproof power cord to the DC inlet of TREK-722/723. On
the open-wire end, one pin is reserved for positive voltage and is marked "+" which
needs to be connected to the power "+" side; one pin is reserved for ground and is
marked "-"; which needs to be connected to the power "-" side. And, one pin is
reserved for the ignition signal with an “ignition” mark. There's independent "Shield"

2.3 WinCE Satrtup Procedure

Windows CE image can be loaded by two methods, first way is by SD storage card,
and second way is by system on-board chip. Storage card is higher boot priority than
on-board system flash chip. In BOOTLOADER criteria, it will first read the Windows
CE image from external storage card. After download image done, booloader will
burn image to on-board flash chip automatically. If external storage card is unavail­able or no Windows CE image inside, BOOTLOADER will load the Windows CE
image from on-board system flash chip. BOOTLOADER copy Windows CE image to
DRAM and launch WinCE from DRAM, whenever loaded by external storage card or
system on-board flash chip.
