For any other information shown on the display, please, check chapter 7 Troubleshooting. If you would like to
change some settings in the OBU, e.g. the language, please, go to chapter 5.1 OBU Menu Structure.
Hint: If you stop driving for longer than 30 minutes the OBU goes to sleep mode. It starts again
automatically when the vehicle starts to move (see below).
Operation modes
Standard mode:
The OBU is in standard mode during driving. All data is available and the OBU is ready for operation. If the OBU
detects vehicle movement it is ready to measure the driven kilometers. The status is shown in the display and
the driver will be informed about status changes and changes depending on the current location.
Sleep mode:
Flexible installation: If the OBU detects no vehicle movements for 30 minutes it shuts down to sleep mode. If
the vehicle starts to move the OBU will be in the standard mode after a few seconds.
Fix installation: The OBU shuts downs to sleep mode after the ignition is switched off for longer than 30
minutes. If the ignition is switched on the OBU will be in the standard mode after a few seconds.
Power save mode:
Flexible installation: The OBU switches to power save mode after the power cable is disconnected from the cig-
arette lighter. The display will be dimmed. The OBU is still ready for operation. Please, consider the battery
loading status during driving.
Permanent installation: The OBU switches to power save mode after switching off the ignition. The display will
be dimmed.
Transportation mode/switched off:
The OBU is shipped to the customer in transportation mode. It has to be connected to electricity to get
activated.
Also if the OBU is not connected to a power supply and the battery loading gets below a defined level, the OBU
shuts down and switches itself off. Also in this case the OBU will only wake up, when connected to electricity.
Version 6.7, GM 4.8.1
In some cases, the EETS Service cannot be detected if the GPS re-
ception is too low. In this case, please, move the vehicle shortly
forwards to get a better GPS reception.
If there is no GPS reception or a failure of GPS reception during
driving the LED turns red, if the failure takes more than 30
minutes.
