  For replacing the internal battery see document 

K530003 A11 battery replacement guide

 available on 

Aplicom Extranet. DO NOT USE OTHER BATTERIES THAN APLICOM DELIVERED. RISK OF 
EXPLOSION.   

  DISCONNECT ALL CABLES FROM A11 connectors before changing internal battery. 

  Disconnect internal battery by removing the microSIM card if the unit is to be transported by airplane 

and before long time storage. 

 

INSTALLATION CHECKLIST   

 

 

      

 
 

Action / Functionality 

OK 

Device installation 

The place of installation is safe from accidental knocks and excessive humidity. 
Device is fastened tightly  and safely, with  no possible interference with vehicle safety 
system like Airbag. etc. 

 

Cables 

Cables are led carefully along a well-protected route to the device and the peripherals. 
 
All cables are correctly connected and secured with fuses. 
 
Cables are fastened or supported in such a way that during use they exert no torsion 

on the connectors. 

 

Antennas 

The GPS antenna is fitted in such a way that its visibility to GPS/GLONASS satellites is 
best possible and GSM/GPRS antenna has visibility to GSM/GPRS network.  
 
Unit  is  installed  as  far  away  as  possible  from  vehicle  radio  and  its  antennas  and 
wirings.  
Make sure that the GPRS sending of the unit does not cause disturbances to car radio 

or other vehicle systems. 
 
External antenna cables are led carefully along a well-protected route to the device. 
Check  that  vehicle  windows  do  not  have  heating  system  that  may  block  the 
GPS/GLONASS signals for example in dashboard or windshield installations. 
 
Check the antenna right orientation towards the GPS/GLONASS  satellites and correct 
fixing place and surface. 

 

Power on device 

Connect PWR and if IGN is used, turn it on. 
If movement wake up is used, cause movement to start up the unit. 

 

Final check 

Before completing the installation work, rigorous checking of any disturbances 
to vehicle or machine, where the unit is installed, must be made. Special 
attention is needed to check the vehicle safety systems and radio and 
multimedia equipment functions. This is to avoid recalls to service because of 
un-noticed problems. 

 

 

 
 
TROUBLE SHOOTING 

 

Problem 

Solution 

No power 

Check that all the cables and fuses are connected. 
 
PWR is connected and IGN is on (if used). 

No GPRS connection  Check that SIM card is inserted.  

Check PIN CODE requirements. 

Check antenna. 
Note: The disconnecting of external power cable does not reset the A11 unit. 

No GPS position 

Check that the GPS/GLONASS antenna has open sky view. 
 
Check interferences from other structures to external GPS antenna if used. 
 
NOTE! Electronic heated or UV-protected windshield may disturb GPS antenna sky view. 

 

If none of the above helps, please contact your equipment dealer for further 
assistance
