power levels of the wireless devices must not exceed CE certification requirements of
less than 10 dBm. Select North America if the power levels of the wireless devices must
not exceed FCC or IC certification requirements of less than 30 dBm. Select Other if the
operating region is not North America or Europe.

3. Click

OK to save the operating region information or click Cancel to exit without saving.

Note: Changing the operating region at any time only affects the settings of the subsequently
added wireless devices, not the ones that have been previously added to the system. To re-
configure the setting for previously added devices, remove the wireless device(s) from the
Wireless Devices database table in the Database menu, reconnect the device(s), change the
operating region for the device(s), then add the wireless device(s) back into the database.

How to Scan for Wireless On-Board Modules

The Scan Wireless On-Board Modules dialog box uses the Base Station(s) to scan all of the
Wireless On-Board Modules in the current location and displays the wireless communication
status of each Wireless On-Board Module.

Note: At the top of each hour, the Wireless On-Board Module is turned off by the DriveRight or
Carchip device for up to five minutes. This is done to allow the DriveRight or CarChip to turn on
the GPS module to refresh the satellite position periodically. This occurs even without a GPS
module being physically connected to your DriveRight or Carchip device. FMS will not be able to
communicate with the Wireless On-Board Module(s) during this time.

1. Select

Scan Wireless On-Board Modules from the Wireless Menu. The Scan Wireless

On-Board Modules displays a list of all the Wireless On-Board Modules in your
database associated with the currently selected location.
