Safety first

Find the right Place

First you need to find the right place to install your TomTom LINK 300. You can either decide for a hidden or for a non hidden installation.

Non hidden installation

If you do not want to use an external GPS antenna and always have free access to the device you can simply affix it to the dashboard or to the windscreen of your vehicle. (see Mounting TomTom LINK 300 on page 14)

If the vehicle is often parked for longer periods exposed to direct sunlight and/or to high outside temperature, without the utilisation of an aircondition, the device might not work properly. In those cases TomTom WORK recommends a hidden installation.

Hidden installation

If you prefer to keep the TomTo m LINK 300 i n a hidden place, to protect it from high temperatures or for safety reasons (to not obstruct the driver’s view e.g. in the windscreen) you can place the device beneath the dashboard e.g. in the glove compart ment.

For this you need to find a place where th e top side of the device is not obstructed by metal items. Also, you need the external GPS antenna (see Alternative Mounting on page 19). Use only the external GPS antenna from TomTom WORK. This is an optional accessory which is not included in the box.

Find the right Place

Connection overview

For the transmission process

To prepare the TomTom LINK 300 for data exchange with TomTom WEBFLEET you need to insert the SIM Card in the unit.

1. Press the release button for the SIM Card holder with a pointed object until it releases.

2. Pull out the SIM card holder.

3. Gently press the SIM card into the SIM card holder until it clicks into place.

Connecting to power

Connect TomTom LINK 300 to the vehicle power supply with the standard vehicle voltage (12 V / 24 V). Do not connect to a voltage converter. The three wires GND, IGN and PWR+ (supply voltage) must be connected.

1. Connect the GND wire (brown) to ground (clamp 31).

2. Fuse the PWR+ wire (red) and the IGN wire (black) with one 2 A / fast blow fuse each.

3. Connect the fused PWR+ wire (red) to the carry current (clamp 30).

4. Then connect the fused IGN wir e (black) to ignition (clamp 15).

5. OPTIONAL: If you want to record a digital input, connect the IN1 wire (green/blue) to a 2 A / fast blow fuse, then connect the fuse to a switch which is connected to the power supply.

6. Insert the 4-pin plug into the power cable connector.

Testing operation

Before testing the connection to power and to ignition make sure you have carried out the steps described in the previous chapters.

1. Please check all connections to TomTom LINK 300 (wires, fuses etc.).

2. Check that the SIM card is inserted correctly.

3. Turn on the ignition. The LED must be on with occasional (100ms) periods off.

Testing operation

GPRS / GPS reception test

For this test, you may need to move the vehicle to a location with a clear view of the sky, to make sure that you have adequate GPS and GPRS reception.

For this test put the TomTom LINK 300 into the place where you want to affix it (please see Mounting TomTom LINK 300 on page 14).

1. Turn on the ignition.

2. Monitor the LED. It must be on with occasional (100ms) periods off.

top side having clear view of the sky.

• The device must not interfere with clear vision for the driver.

• Tinted metallised windscreens or those with integrated filament heating may obstruct GPS reception.

• Place the unit on the dashboard or on the windscreen with min. 5 cm distance to the coachwork, so that optimal GSM transmission and GPS reception is ensured.

• The unit must be placed on an oil free, dry and clean surface. Extreme temperature changes/differences can affect the adhesive property of the strips.

The TomTom LINK 300 can be affixed to the windscreen or the dashboard with the two adhesive strips. For information about a hidden installation such as in the glove compartment, see Alternative Mounting on page 19.

Use the two adhesive strips to affix TomTom LINK 300 to the dashboard (grey strips) or the windscreen (transparent strips). Follow the safety instructions in this document.

1. Choose a flat surface for accurate positioning of the unit.
