Regulatory Compliance
FCC
The modem was tested and certified to meet FCC Parts 15 in a stand-alone
configuration, which demonstrated that the GSM2000 Mini-MT complies with Part
15 emission limits. FCC Part 22 & Part 24 is covered by the Enfora Enabler-IIG
"modular approval" process for a transmitter. This approach, described by FCC
Public Notice DA 00-131407 released June 26, 2000, is intended to afford relief
to equipment manufacturers by eliminating the requirement for obtaining a new
equipment authorization for the same transmitter when installed in a new device.
In order to use the GSM2000 MINIMT without additional FCC certification approvals, the installation must
meet the following conditions:
For the transmitter to meet the MPE categorical exclusion requirements of
2.1091, the ERP must be less than 1.5 watts for personnel separation distance
of at least 20 cm (7.9 in). Therefore, the maximum antenna gain cannot exceed
+3.3dBi. If greater than 1.5 watts exists, then additional testing and FCC
approval is required.
R&TTE -
The GSM2228 Mini-MT modem has been fully tested and complies with all the
requirements of EN301 489-1, EN301 489-7 and EN60950-1:2001. Compliance
to EN301 511 has been demonstrated by testing on both the GSM2000 and the
integrated GSM0108 module.

Warranty Information
LIMITED WARRANTY
Enfora warrants to the original purchaser of the product that, for a period of one
(1) year from the date of product purchase, the product hardware, when used in
conjunction with any associated software (including any firmware and
applications such as the modem manager) supplied by Enfora, will be free from
defects in material or workmanship under normal operation. Enfora further
warrants to such original purchaser that, for a period of ninety (90) days from the
date of product purchase, any software associated with the product will perform
substantially in accordance with the user documentation provided by Enfora, and
any software media provided with the product will be free from defects in material
or workmanship under normal operation. Enfora does not warrant that the
product hardware or any associated software will meet the purchaser’s
requirements or that the operation of the product hardware or software will be
uninterrupted or error-free. This limited warranty is only for the benefit of the
original purchaser and is not transferable.
During the warranty period applicable to the product hardware, Enfora, at its
expense and in its sole discretion, will repair or replace the product if it is
determined to have a covered hardware defect, provided that the purchaser first
notifies Enfora of any such defect, furnishes Enfora with a proof of purchase,
requests and obtains a return merchandize authorization (RMA) number from
Enfora, and returns the product, shipping charges prepaid, to Enfora under that
RMA. If, upon reasonable examination of the returned product, Enfora does not
substantiate the defect claimed by purchaser, or determines that the defect is not
covered under this limited warranty, Enfora will not be required to repair or
replace the product, but may instead reship the product to the purchaser, in
which case purchaser shall be responsible for paying Enfora’s usual charges for
unpacking, testing, and repacking the product for reshipment to purchaser.
Purchaser shall bear the risk of loss or damage in transit to any product returned
by purchaser to Enfora, or any returned product not found to be defective or

Enfora repairs or replaces a defective product, the repaired or replacement
product will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period on the
defective product. If Enfora is unable to repair or replace a defective product, the
purchaser’s exclusive remedy shall be a refund of the original purchase price.
Any returned and replaced product, or any product for which Enfora has refunded
the original purchase price, becomes the property of Enfora.
During the warranty period applicable to the software or its media, Enfora, at its
expense, will replace any defective software or media if purchaser gives written
notification of the defect to the technical support department at Enfora during the
applicable warranty period. Enfora shall not have any obligation to provide any
software bug fixes, upgrades or new releases except as necessary to correct any
covered defect of which purchaser notifies Enfora during the applicable warranty
period.

and tear, (b) the cost of procurement of substitute products or (c) for any defect
that is (i) discovered by purchaser during the warranty period but purchaser does
not notify or request an RMA number from Enfora, as required above, until after
the end of the warranty period, (ii) caused by any accident, misuse, abuse,
improper installation, handling or testing, or unauthorized repair or modification of
the product, (iii) caused by use of any software other than any software supplied
by Enfora, or by use of the product other than in accordance with its
documentation or (iv) the result of electrostatic discharge, electrical surge, fire,
flood or similar causes.
ENFORA’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND PURCHASER’S SOLE REMEDY
UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY SHALL BE TO REPAIR OR REPLACE
THE PRODUCT HARDWARE, SOFTWARE OR SOFTWARE MEDIA (OR IF
REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT IS NOT POSSIBLE, OBTAIN A REFUND OF THE
PURCHASE PRICE) AS PROVIDED ABOVE. ENFORA EXPRESSLY
DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES
OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY
PERFORMANCE AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IN NO
EVENT SHALL ENFORA BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL,
EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING
WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OR INTERRUPTION OF USE, DATA,
REVENUES OR PROFITS) RESULTING FROM A BREACH OF THIS
WARRANTY OR BASED ON ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF ENFORA
HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OR LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH
DAMAGES.
Some jurisdictions may require a longer warranty period than specified above and, accordingly,
for products sold in those jurisdictions the applicable warranty period shall be extended as
required under the law of those jurisdictions. Furthermore, some jurisdictions may not allow the
disclaimer of implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, so the above disclaimer, limitation or exclusion may not apply to products sold in those
jurisdictions. This limited warranty gives the purchaser specific legal rights and the purchaser
may have other legal rights which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
In some instances, the product may also be covered by another limited warranty contained in a
separate written agreement between Enfora and the distributor or reseller, if any, from whom
purchaser purchased the product. That other limited warranty may provide, for example, a longer
warranty period or a different product return procedure that may also be available to purchaser.
This limited warranty shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States of
America, without regard to conflict of laws principles. This limited warranty shall not be governed
in any respect by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

4.2 Switches
4.2.1 Push To Call (PTC)
The Push To Call (PTC) switch allows the user to place a call to a number that has been
programmed. To meet GSM specification, pressing the PTC button with no SIM
installed will cause the unit to initiate a “411” call. The application provider will need to
configure the emergency number for its region.
4.2.2 Set Geo-Fence
The switch is used to initiate a geo-fence with a default radius of one-half mile. This
radius may be re-defined by the application provider and is retained in non-volatile
memory.
4.2.3 User-Defined button
The User-Defined button is a programmable button that can be defined for various
functions. Some examples of these functions include: generate a call to a number
different from the PTC button, generate a geo-fence with different parameters than the
geo-fence button, send an SMS of the current location to a cell phone, send the current
location to the server, etc.
4.2.4 Volume Buttons
The Mini-MT has two volume buttons for controlling the audio volume level. These
buttons are functional whether in a call or not. The ‘+’ button is used for increasing
volume and the ‘–’ button is used for decreasing volume.
NOTE: While you are on an active phone call, the volume buttons will
function in both headset and hands-free mode.

4.3 Interconnections
4.3.1 USB Connection
The USB connector (see Figure 3) is used for charging the battery and for data
communication. The unit will charge from a laptop computer, AC to USB power
adapter, or vehicle power to USB adapter. (See Figure 3)
Data communications with the Mini-MT is also performed through the USB connector.
The USB connection is used to configure or customize the Mini-MT operation. This
connection also is used to provide GPS NMEA data to a mapping or user application.
NOTE: The USB cable needs to support 480 mA.
4.3.2 Headphone Jack
The headphone jack provides the user with the ability to connect a standard 2.5mm
headset (not supplied with the modem) when the speakerphone mode is not desirable.
(See Figure 3)
