Set up your device
How to insert Micro-SIM card and connect the battery
- Open the top cover of the device. Cover is opened by unclipping it at the recessed corner.
- Insert Nano-SIM card as shown with PIN request disabled or read our Wiki how to enter it later in Teltonika Configurator. Make sure that Nano-SIM card is fitted properly into the holder.
- Connect the battery as shown in the figure.
- After configuration, see “Error! Reference source not found.”, attach device cover back.
Device is ready to be mounted.
PC Connection (Windows)
- Power-up FMB003 with DC voltage (12 30 V) power supply using supplied power cable. LED’s should start blinking, see “LED indications”.
- Connect device to computer using Micro-USB cable or Bluetooth connection:
• Using Micro-USB cable
– You will need to install USB drivers, see “How to install USB drivers (Windows)”
• Using Bluetooth
– FMB003 Bluetooth is enabled by default. Turn on Bluetooth on your PC, then select Add Bluetooth or other device > Bluetooth. Choose your device named “FMBxxx_last_7_imei_digits”, without LE in the end. Enter default password 5555, press Connect and then select Done. - You are now ready to use the device on your computer.
How to install USB drivers (Windows)
- Please download COM port drivers from here.
- Extract and run TeltonikaCOMDriver.exe.
- Click Next in driver installation window.
- In the following window click Install button.
Setup will continue installing the driver and eventually the confirmation window will appear. Click Finish to complete the setup.
Configuration (Windows)
At first FMB003 device will have default factory settings set. These settings should be changed according to the user’s needs. Main configuration can be performed via Teltonika Configurator software. Get the latest Configurator version from here. Configurator operates on Microsoft Windows OS and uses prerequisite MS .NET Framework. Make sure you have the correct version installed.
Table 2 MS .NET requirements
| MS .NET REQUIREMENTS | |||
Operating system | MS .NET Framework version | Version | Links |
| Windows Vista Windows 7 Windows 8.1 Windows 10 | MS .NET Framework 4.6.2 | 32 and 64 bit | www.microsoft.com |
Downloaded Configurator will be in compressed archive. Extract it and launch Configurator.exe. After launch software language can be changed by clicking
in the right bottom corner (Figure 7 Language selection).
Figure 7 Language selection
Configuration process begins by pressing on connected device (Figure 8 Device connected via USB).
After connection to Configurator Status window will be displayed (Figure 9 Configurator Status window).![]()
Figure 9 Configurator Status window
Various Status window tabs display information about GNSS, GSM, I/O, Maintenance and etc. FMB003 has one user editable profile, which can be loaded and saved to the device. After any modification of configuration the changes need to be saved to device using Save to device button. Main buttons offer following functionality:
Load from device loads configuration from device.
Save to device saves configuration to device.
Load from file loads configuration from file.
Save to file saves configuration to file.
Update firmware updates firmware on device.
Read records reads records from the device.
Reboot device restarts device.
Reset configuration sets device configuration to default.
Most important configurator section is GPRS where all your server and GPRS settings can be configured and Data Acquisition where data acquiring parameters can be configured. More details about FMB003 configuration using Configurator can be found in our Wiki.
Quick SMS configuration
Default configuration has optimal parameters present to ensure best performance of track quality and data usage. Quickly set up your device by sending this SMS command to it:
” setparam 2001:APN;2002:APN_username;2003:APN_password;2004:Domain;2005:Port;2006:0″
Note: Before SMS text, two space symbols should be inserted.
GPRS settings:
- 2001 APN
- 2002 APN username (if there are no APN username, empty field should be left)
- 2003 APN password (if there are no APN password, empty field should be left)
Server settings:
- 2004 Domain
- 2005 Port
- 2006 Data sending protocol (0 TCP, 1 UDP)

Default configuration settings
| Movement and ignition detection: | |||
| Vehicle movement will be detected by accelerometer | Ignition will be detected by vehicle power voltage between 13,2 – 30 V | ||
| Device makes a record On Moving if one of these events happen: | |||
| 300 seconds passes | Vehicle turns 10 degrees | ||
| Vehicle drives 100 meters | Speed difference between last coordinate and current position is greater than 10 km/h | ||
| Device makes a record On Stop if: | Records sending to server: | ||
| 1 hour passes while vehicle is stationary and ignition is off | If device has made a record it is sent to the server every 120 seconds | ||
After successful SMS configuration, FMB003 device will synchronize time and update records to configured server. Time intervals and default I/O elements can be changed by using Teltonika Configurator or SMS parameters.
Mounting recommendations
- Connecting the device to the vehicle:
– Find OBDII connector in your vehicle (Figure 10. Most common OBDII connector locations.).
