To hard reset the device, hold this button down for at least 2 seconds with the power on. When the bootloader takes over, the green OS LED will stop winking, which indicates the reset has taken effect. The O/S LED will indicate the steps the device is taking as it proceeds through the boot process. Confidential DC300P3618_V3 9 V301 User Manual IMARDA | 2015 3.2 Back View The back view of the Vector 301 contains three FAKRA antenna connectors. It also contains a GSM Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card slot. NOTE: The Vector 301 XWP model is pictured above. The Vector 301 IW model is not so tall. 3.2.1 SIM Card Orientation The SIM card must be properly oriented in order to ensure correct operation. Fit the SIM to the SIM tray and then insert into the device as shown below the tray goes in upside down:

Confidential DC300P3618_V3 10 V301 User Manual IMARDA | 2015 4 Operating System The Vector series devices runs the Microsoft Windows CE 5.0 operating system. Windows CE is like traditional Windows operating systems in terms of look and feel; it has a Start button and exposes a graphical user interface like Windows, but in a compact fashion. Windows CE manages memory, processor, file system, etc. in scaled down ways as well. Unlike Windows, Windows CE is built via customized operating system builds that Imarda provides -- think of these as firmware. It has a few other important differences that will be important to you as a consumer of the end product; they are outlined below. 4.1 Firmware New firmware images are available from Imarda. 4.2 Bootloader The bootloader handles the device operations from power on until Windows CE takes control. The boot process has different startup times and stages depending on the state of the device at last suspend /

power off. 4.2.1 Cold Boot

"Cold boot" means that the device is starting from a hardware reset, or is being started from a no-power

(power on) state. This process typically takes 15-30 seconds, depending on how many device drivers are loaded. Simply cycling power by removing/replacing the Vehicle Battery lead is not sufficient for most units, since the on-board battery will keep the Vector 301 alive for at least short periods of time. 4.2.2 Soft Boot / Resume A "soft boot" means that the device is resuming from a suspended, low power state back into full operation. Conditions which take the device in and out of this state vary depending on software configuration. 4.3 Power States The Vector 301 has four system power states. The command line application power.exe allows control of these For field applications these can be set programmatically via VAPI (Vector API built into OS), states are as below On - Everything is operating normally. Ship Everything Off backup battery electrically isolated Off - processor powered down, minimum power consumption, can only be woken on ignition or Suspend - processor stopped, peripherals are powered on to enable wakeup Reset - this resets the V300 fully, i.e. does a "cold boot"

movement Confidential DC300P3618_V3 11 V301 User Manual IMARDA | 2015 4.4 Backup Battery The Vector 301 has a 2200mAh backup battery. The battery backup is provided for two reasons - firstly to let the operating system do an orderly shutdown in the event of power loss or deep voltage dips during starter motor cranking, and secondly to provide sufficient time to send notifications of power failure or accident in the event of power being suddenly removed. As the usage of the backup battery during normal operation is minimal, one of the design trade-offs made in Vector 301 is a long recharge time (to minimise power supply requirements). A full recharge can take 15 Hours, as the charging current is limited to around 150mA. Charging time is also dependent on temperature. For example, battery charging is disabled below 0C as LiPo batteries cannot be charged below this temperature or above 45C Operating time on the optional backup battery is up to 2 hours. This varies according to temperature. 4.5 Wakeup Sources The Vector 301 can be placed into a suspend state or Off state When in suspend, the following conditions will wake the Vector 301 back to the "On" state:

1. State change from low (0V) to high (>7V) on the ignition line 2. Accelerometer (if enabled, can be enabled via software) 3. Incoming calls/message from modem (if enabled) 4. 4 of the Digital Inputs (if enabled) 5. Real Time Clock (if enabled) 6. GPS Antenna Fault The following conditions can be programmed to wake the Vector 301 from a "Off" state:

1. State change from low (0V) to high (>7V) on the ignition line 2. Accelerometer (if enabled, can be enabled via software,) 3. Real Time Clock (if enabled) 4.6 File System The Vector 301 uses FLASH memory, which is persistent storage designed to retain data at power loss, but not meant for heavy amounts of I/O or large amounts of data transfer. The FLASH memory in the Vector 301 makes use of a file system manager specifically designed to minimize/distribute wear to the use-

sensitive FLASH memory. Although the underlying hardware implementation is different, the application developer will read and write to FLASH memory the same way they would on a traditional Windows machine with a hard drive. The .NET Compact Framework uses the same functions as the traditional framework to read and write from the file system. READ FIRST: FLASH memory has a limited lifetime based on number of writes. The FLASH memory used in the Vector 301 has a minimum write threshold of 100,000 times; beyond that reliability and performance are not guaranteed. Applications should be designed/coded keeping this limitation in mind at all times. For example, if planning for data logging on Vector 301, implement a simple buffer. Hold the data in memory for a period (eg. an hour or two), and then flush it to disk only on a schedule only as frequent as is required by your specifications. This practice will significantly extend the lifetime of the Vector 301's flash memory. Confidential DC300P3618_V3 12 V301 User Manual IMARDA | 2015 4.7 SDRAM The Vector 301 uses SDRAM as its volatile working memory to run the operating system. SDRAM is inherently faster than FLASH memory and does not have write speed or lifetime limitations. The hardware implementation is again seamless to the developer; code to handle working memory can be written traditionally. 5 GPRS/CDMA Modem The Vector 301-IW is equipped with a Cinterion PHS-8 Cellular modem. The Vector 301-XWP is not equipped with a cellular modem. Please see Imarda document DC300P0112_V1 for details on Cellular communication with Vector products 6 GPS Receiver The following material assumes an appropriate antenna has been attached to your Vector 301's GPS antenna connector. The Vector 301 exposes its GPS communications a standard COM port interface. The specifications are as follows:

COM Port COM8 Baud Rate 38400 Data bits 8 Parity None Stop Bits 1 Flow Control Hardware The GPS receiver defaults to NMEA mode, contact Imarda if you require assistance interpreting the GPS stream there are a number of GPS parsing utilities available to help interpret the NMEA messages. 7 Accelerometer The Vector 301 has a built in Accelerometer independent of the GPS module that detects device movement in three dimensions. To access it programmatically, use VAPI interface, you can also test the available VAPI functionality via the built in test app Accelo.exe. Confidential DC300P3618_V3 13 V301 User Manual IMARDA | 2015 8 Programmers Reference The Vector 301 may be programmed in either C++ or C# (.NET) environments.
