1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Telematics Control Unit (TCU) integrates an on-board cellular communication module with a
WiFi hotspot functionality and interacts with remote call/data centers to provide valuable services
to the vehicle customer.

1.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE

This conditions document is to provide installation instruction to OEM to insure safe use of the
device.

1.1.1 TCU Functionality

The TCU allows customers in to connect to their car from their phone or PC to issue commands,
retrieve information, and receive alerts for important information about their car.

For FB40-ND1 customers this means the ability to remotely control charging, receive alerts about
their charging activities and warm / cool their cabin on demand.

In addition, customers can perform lock and unlock remotely, locate and track their vehicle and
receive alerts on their phone or email if the vehicle alarm is activated.

Depending upon the level of technology supported, the customer may also be able to access
services via voice or transfer data at high speeds.

FB40-ND1 offers WiFi Hotspot functionality. WiFi and Cellular transmissions will happen
simultaneously. The WiFi and Cellular antennas are not collocated: WiFi antenna is inside the
TCU while the cellular antennas are on the roof top of the vehicle.
