1 Notices
The following notices apply to the MICROpod.
For more information on emissions testing, please refer to the regulatory body in your geographic area. For example, in
Europe that is the Conformité Européenne (CE) and in the US the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
1.1 CE Notice
The MICROpod enclosures carry the CE mark.
The MICROpod meets the performance requirements of specification EN 301 489-1: V1.6.1 (2005-09)
1.2 FCC Notice
The equipment described in this manual has been tested pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules and
found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device for use in commercial business, and industrial
environments. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. The equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
and television reception. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which
case the user will be required to correct the interference at own expense.
If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, you can try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient the receiving antenna.
• Relocate the receiver relative to the equipment which it interferes.
• Power the equipment from a different AC receptacle so that this equipment and the interfered equipment are
on different branch circuits. If necessary, contact Forsberg Services Ltd. for additional advice.
WARNING!
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by Forsberg Services Ltd could result in a violation of
Part 15 of the FCC rules and void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
1.3 IPX7 Notice
The MICROpod unit is waterproof in accordance with IEC 60529 IPX7. IEC 60529 is a European system of test specification
standards for classifying the degrees of protection provided by the enclosures of electrical equipment. An IPX7 designation
means the MICROpod case can withstand accidental immersion in one meter of water for up to 30 minutes.
IMPORTANT!
An antenna or suitable waterproof dust cap must be attached to the TNC connector to obtain full IPX7
1.4 RoHS Notice
The MICROpod is compliant with the European Union (EU) Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive
2002/95/EC.

3 Functionality notice
3.1 Important functionality note
The FSL MICROpod utilizes an internal connection between the GNSS receiver com 2 port and the
micro. Therefore any commands sent through GPS com 1 or GPS com 3 that will affect the
configuration could reduce functionality.
When connected to either GPS com port the following commands should be avoided.
UNLOGALL
If UNLOGALL is sent to a GPS com port it will stop the output of commands on all GPS com ports and
all of the MICRO com ports.
UNLOG
If UNLOG is sent to GPS com port it will stop the output of the specific command on all GPS Com
ports and all of the MICRO com ports.
COM COM2
GPS com 2 has been specifically configured for communicating with the microprocessor and
changing the baud rate of GPS com 2 will disable communications between the micro and the GPS
receiver and therefore the micro com ports will no longer function.
FRESET/ RESET
These commands will reset the GPS receiver to its original state and will disable communications
between the micro and the GPS receiver and therefore the micro com ports will no longer function.
3.2 Reconfiguring GPS com 2
Functionality can be retained using either of the methods outlined below.
Reconfigure GPS com 2
Connect to GPS COM 1 through a PC running Hyperterminal or similar terminal software and send
the following commands to the unit.
COM COM2 9600 8 n 1 n off on
INTERFACEMODE COM2 NOVATEL NOVATEL ON
SAVECONFIG

If SAVECONFIG has not been applied, remove power from the MICROpod unit by removing the
connector plug and ensure that the unit is off, then re-apply power. The unit will configure itself for
full functionality.
