Trimble product (the “Product”) will substantially conform to Trimble's publicly available specifications for the Product and that the hardware and any
storage media components of the Product will be substantially free from defects in materials and workmanship.

Product Software

Product software, whether built into hardware circuitry as firmware, provided as a standalone computer software product, embedded in flash memory, or
stored on magnetic or other media, is licensed and not sold. If accompanied by a separate end user license agreement, use of any such software will be
subject to the terms of such end user license agreement (including any differing limited warranty terms, exclusions and limitations), which shall control
over the terms and conditions set forth in this limited warranty).

Software Updates

During the limited warranty period you will be entitled to receive such Fix Updates and Minor Updates to the Product software that Trimble releases and
makes commercially available and for which it does not charge separately, subject to the procedures for delivery to purchasers of Trimble products generally.
If you have purchased the Product from an authorized Trimble distributor rather than from Trimble directly, Trimble may, at its option, forward the software
Fix Update or Minor Update to the Trimble distributor for final distribution to you. Major Upgrades, new products, or substantially new software releases, as
identified by Trimble are expressly excluded from this update process and limited warranty. Receipt of software updates shall not serve to extend the limited

For purposes of this warranty the following definitions shall apply:

“Fix Update” means an error correction or other update created to fix a previous software version that does not substantially conform to its published
specifications; (2) “Minor Update” occurs when enhancements are made to current features in a software program; and (3) “Major Upgrade” occurs
when significant new features are added to software, or when a new product containing new features replaces the further development of a current
product line. Trimble reserves the right to determine, in its sole discretion, what constitutes a significant new feature and Major Upgrade.

Warranty Remedies

If the Trimble Product fails during the warranty period for reasons covered by this Limited Warranty and you notify Trimble of such failure during the
warranty period, Trimble at its option will repair OR replace the nonconforming Product, OR refund the purchase price paid by you for the Product, upon

Class B Statement – Notice to Users. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits 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
communication. 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 the receiver.
–Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the telematics device is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
– Cover the telematics device harness in a grounded shield wrap or run through a grounded shielding conduit.

Section 1

Introduction

Welcome to the DCM300 Installation Guide.
This documnet describes how to install and
verify initial operation of DCM300 M2M data
radio.

Even if you have installed and operated
other telematics devices before, Trimble
recommends that you spend some time
reading this manual to learn about the
special features of this product. If you are
not familiar with GPS or vehicle telematics,
visit the Trimble website (www.trimble.com)
for an interactive look at Trimble and these
technologies.

About the DCM300

The Trimble DCM300 device comes in two
models. The DCM300G supports GSM
cellular communications. The DCM300C
supports CDMA cellular communications.
Both variants offer GPS positioning, cellular
communications, Ignition sense, three
digital inputs, WiFi, and wired
communications using CANbus(two
channels), RS-232, USB, and Ethernet .
The Trimble DCM300 devices are designed
to operate reliably in very harsh installation
environments including all types of heavy
construction equipment. These devices can
be installed in-cab or out-of-cab.
