Heater Harness
SIM Card
For heater applications that did not
originally include a SmarTemp Control fx
controller a jumper harness must be used
in addition to the Thermo Call harness.
This jumper connects between the Thermo
Call TC3 harness and the heater side of
the connection. This jumper is included in
the SmarTemp Control fx kit. Refer to the
Wiring Layout on page 7.
A SIM Card is required through your local
wireless carrier and is not supplied with the
Thermo Call TC3 kit.
Both 1.8 V and 3 V SIM cards of a network
carrier, which supports the GSM 900/1800
mobile communications standard, can be
used.
Always observe any information of the
respective network carrier when operating
the SIM card. No warranty can be given for
the SIM card used. The SIM functionality
should be checked separately in individual
cases.
Before inserting the SIM card, the PIN code
must be changed to 1234 with a mobile
phone. Information on this procedure is
contained in the respective operating
instructions of the mobile phone.
All data which may be present on the SIM
card will be deleted when inserting into the
GSM module.
The SIM card is inserted under the slide
cover on the top of the GSM module.
Only insert or remove the SIM card in a de-
energized state (module not connected to
power).
The range and fees are dependent on the
respective network carrier. Information on
these topics as well as roaming charges can
be obtained from the respective network
carrier.
Webasto assumes no liability for fees
incurred via the use of a Network Carriers
SIM Card.
SmarTemp Control fx Heater Harness
For heater applications (Thermo Top C -
TTC) that were designed for SmarTemp
Control fx, this is a plug and play
application. No jumper harness is required.

Installation
Installing GSM Module
Installing GSM Antenna
Installing Push Button
The GSM module must be installed in the
passenger compartment.
Fasten the GSM module with self-tapping
screws or zip ties (not included). Ensure
sufficient clearance for the connection of
the wiring harness and the antenna.
IMPORTANT
Always make sure there are no obstacles
behind the mounting location prior to

provided to ensure the customer is aware
of the GSM module location for
installation of their network SIM Card.
The antenna must be installed on the front
or rear window. However, never in the
tinted area or under the defrost wires of the
rear window.
Clean the window thoroughly with a
cleaning cloth before attempting to adhere
to surface.
Pull the protective film off the antenna and
affix the antenna. Maintain a minimum
distance of 1 ¼” (30mm) from metal parts.
Route the antenna cable to the GSM module
(never shorten or kink) and connect to the
module.
The antenna must be installed at least 8”
(20 cm) from all persons.
The push button control contained in the
delivery scope must also be installed. This
allows for a manual override while inside
the vehicle.
- To do this, drill an 5/16” (8mm) dia.
hole in a suitable mounting location
easily accessible to the driver
(coordinate the installation location
with the vehicle owner prior to
installation)
- Mount the push button in the
previously drilled hole.

Operation Instructions
Dear Webasto customer,
Thank you for purchasing the new Thermo Call TC3. This product provides you with a convenient, innovative way to operate your Webasto
parking heater.
A SIM card not included in the delivery scope is required to operate the unit. Webasto does not provide any warranty for the SIM card used.
The function must be checked separately in individual cases. For details on the SIM card, please contact your SIM card network carrier.
Please note that any data which has been saved on the SIM card will be deleted when commissioning the GSM module. Use in areas close
to the border or abroad may result in significantly higher costs due to roaming charges. Please contact your network carrier with regard to
the operating costs incurred by domestic and foreign calls or text messages. Operating costs are incurred by using the Thermo Call TC3's
feedback function and no liability can be accepted for these. The feedback function can be deactivated. You will find details in the list of
possible text message commands.
Note:
These operating instructions only apply to Thermo Call TC3 with a firmware version from V3.2. For information, see the marking on the
GSM module: Ident nr. 7100353 with Index C or higher.

Thermo Call TC3 Webasto Thermo & Comfort N.A., Inc.
Use
Your Webasto parking heater can be remote controlled by a phone. All mobile or fixed network phones with tone dialing are suitable for
use as control units. This enables you to operate a parking heater installed in your vehicle in the easiest possible way. Not only the selection
of the switch-on duration, but also pre-programming of a starting time within the next 24 hours is possible. Mobile applications, "Apps"
are offered for Apple, Windows Phone 8 and Android smart phones. These can be found on the respective markets. The available
descriptions are also available there.
Notes:
• Before commissioning the Thermo Call TC3, please observe the general operating instructions of your Webasto parking heater and
the location of your vehicle regarding the establishment of a connection.
• Both with the Thermo Top E/C and with the Thermo Top Evo heaters, we recommend setting the heating time in accordance with
the subsequent driving time to prevent discharging the battery (if vehicle blower is used for pre-heating the cab). With a driving
time of approx. 30 minutes (one way), we recommend setting a heating time of 30 minutes.
The GSM module is set to a heating time of 60 minutes from the factory. The heating time can be set to between 1 and 999
minutes. Continuous heating is also possible. Details are provided on the following pages.
• It is recommended to change the Thermo Call TC3's access code from the standard format of 1234 to a personalized one. You will
find details in the list of possible text message commands.

Thermo Call TC3 Webasto Thermo & Comfort N.A., Inc.
Operation and Programming
Following entry of up to 15 authorized phone numbers, the TC3 can immediately be operated with the factory settings. For details on
programming the phone numbers, please see the following list of possible text message commands.
You have the following basic options for activating the Webasto parking heater:
• Switching the parking heater "on" or "off" directly with a phone call.
• Switching the parking heater "on" or "off" with a text message command.
• Pre-programming the parking heater within 24 hours with a text message command.
• Switching the parking heater "on" or "off" with a push button. The heater can be started via the heater control, depending
on its configuration. Before parking the vehicle, the settings required for the model must be carried out (temperature, fan).
Operating with a Phone Call
Select the phone number of the SIM card installed in the TC3. The phone number used to call the TC3 must be saved beforehand in the
unit; see Text message commands. After the connection has been successfully established, the TC3 acknowledges the call with a tone.
• With the heater switched off, the call is confirmed by the TC3 with 2 tones.
After the connection is disconnected, the parking heater operation starts for the set period of time (factory setting 60 minutes).
The LED of the push button lights up.
• With the heater switched on, the call is confirmed by the TC3 with 3 tones.
The respective operating mode has ended. The LED of the push button switches over to displaying stand-by mode.
Should the TC3 be called from a phone number not stored, then the connection will be ended by the GSM module without feedback. The
respective heater operating mode remains unchanged.
16
Thermo Call TC3 Webasto Thermo & Comfort N.A., Inc.
Operating With The Push Button
The delivery scope of the TC3 contains a push button which must be installed.
The push button is used both to operate the heater and to display the current operating mode.
With the push button the heater can be switched on or off manually.
If the heater is operating when the push button is pressed, then the respective current operating mode is ended.
The display can be deactivated if desired. To do this, press and hold the button for at least 5 seconds. This procedure must also be carried
out for reactivation.
Various operating modes are displayed using the LED in the push button. More information is provided in the list at the end of this
document.
Operating With Text Messages
The commands contained in the following list are sent to the TC3 via text messages. The respective functions are activated or deactivated.
The commands must be entered in one word, without spacing. The use of upper-case/lower-case characters is irrelevant. The feedback
function can be deactivated, including for any entry errors.
A thermometer is integrated in the TC3. Temperatures specified in some feedback messages are guide values and may vary depending on
