DESIGNATION
PURPOSE, STARTUP AND INSTALLATION
The AutoFon Alfa-Mayak device is intended for determining the exact
location of the protected object using GLONASS/GPS satellites.The
coordinates of the object are transmitted to the owner via the GSM network.
AutoFon Alfa-Mayak can be used for the following purposes:
•Anti-theft protection and stolen vehicle detection.
•Monitoring of personal, ocial and special vehicles.
•Locating stolen motorcycles, ATVs, scooters, bicycles and other equipment.
•Monitoring of those in need of care (children, elderly and sick people) and
their detection.
•Control of the location of domestic animals: dogs, cats and cattle.
•Monitoring the movements of valuable goods and searching for them in
case of loss.
•Creation of a wearable (mobile) panic button: for calling security or police.
SWITCHING ON AND INSTALLATION
To turn on the «AutoFon Alfa-Mayak» for the rst time, press the“SOS”
button 5 times quickly, the LED will blink 5 green ashes. The beacon
will automatically set the time via the GSM network or navigation data
from satellites. By default, the 1st owner number is the number of the
AutoFon control and monitoring server. Hide the device in a guarded
object.
Determination of accurate GLONASS/GPS coordinates is guaranteed
only in conditions of direct visibility of the sky, although in most cases,
determination is possible even by weak (re-reected) signals outside
the line of sight of the sky.
It is advisable to place the body of the device with the logo towards the
sky, not obscuring it with solid metal objects.

«АвтоФон Альфа-Маяк» 5
The AutoFon Alfa-Mayak device consists of a GSM/GPRS modem,
a GLONASS/GPS receiver, a programmable microprocessor and
an autonomous power supply.
The autonomy and miniature dimensions of «AutoFon Alfa-
Mayak» allow the owner to discreetly install it in the most
difficult-to-find place. Since the device is in sleep mode most of
the time, it is extremely difficult to determine its location with
air scanners and GSM signal detectors. If a system of jamming or
suppression of GSM frequencies is used by attackers, the long-
term autonomy of «AutoFon Alfa-Mayak» will allow waiting for
the suppression means to be disabled and contact the owner.
The operating mode «AutoFon Alfa-Mayak» is set by the owner
from your personal account on the server: control.autofon.ru,
or via the Autofon KSA mobile application for Android and iOS.
Direct control via SMS is also possible. «AutoFonAlfa-
Mayak» determines its coordinates using the satellites of the
GLONASS/GPS navigation systems and can transmit them to
the cell phone number programmed by the owner IN THE form
of SMS-messages or as part of information packets via GPRS-
protocol to the monitoring server selected in the settings.
The packets [ may indicate the current speed, from which the
protected object moves. As service information, the message can
include data on the date and time of coordinate measurement,
battery life, temperature inside the device, set operating modes,
the number of navigation satellites found, the level of GSM
signal strength, the number of SMS messages sent on a given
set of batteries.
«AutoFon Alfa-Mayak» can determine the approximate location
of a stolen object even in the absence of a signal from satellites,
for example: in a garage, in an underground parking lot, in a
container, or when the GPS signal is deliberately jammed by
radio equipment. In this case, the location will be determined
by LBS, the information will be transmitted with the indication
of identifiers of the GSM network base stations closest to the
location of the device.

PRINCIPLE OF DEVICE OPERATION
«AutoFon Alfa-Mayak» is equipped with a microphone, which
allows the user to listen to the sound environment when calling
the device from the owner’s number. This function will allow, in
the absence of exact coordinates, to draw conclusions regarding
the location of the stolen vehicle or other property (car service,
construction site, proximity to the airport, etc.).
«AutoFon Alfa-Mayak» can operate in two main modes. Continuous
“ACTIVE” and interval “SLEEP”.
In continuous mode, the device is constantly in touch and is ready
to receive a command from the owner at any time.
The maximum operating time in continuous mode is 6 days, in
the “SLEEP” mode up to 3 years. In the interval mode “Sleep” the
device is in a “sleep” state and accepts commands only at the
moment of activity, which comes at the time programmed in the
alarms. AutoFon Alfa-Mayak has two alarms T1 and T2 wakes up at
a specied time interval to perform the following actions:
«SE» - determination of only approximate coordinates and their
transmission to the monitoring server via GPRS.
«GE»- determination of the exact GLONASS/GPS coordinates and
their transmission to the monitoring server via GPRS.
«S1/S2» - determination of only approximate coordinates and
transferring them to the owner via SMS.
«G1/G2» - determination of precise GLONASS/GPS coordinates and
transmission of them to the owner via SMS.
«F» - waiting for the owner’s commands.
«A» - audio control. After waking up, the device will call the owner
and turn on the built-in microphone for 5 minutes.
«AutoFon Alfa-Mayak» monitors the condition of its batteries and,
if necessary, informs the owner about their discharge.
The device is controlled via SMS from any mobile phone that
supports sending SMS messages, if the correct access password is
specied (it can be set in the PA).
Control from your personal account on the server: control.autofon.
ru, or via the Autofon KSA mobile application for Android and iOS.

BASIC OPERATING MODES
G- mode for determining GLONASS/GPS coordinates After waking up
according to the T1/T2 alarm clock, the device determines its position
using navigation satellites and sends them to the owner via SMS in the
form of numerical data, or in the format of a ready-made hyperlink. It
is also possible to transfer data with the coordinates to the monitoring
server via GPRS. If GLONASS/GPS coordinates cannot be determined,
approximate LBS coordinates will be sent to the owner.
S - mode for determining only GSM coordinates
After waking up according to theT1/T2 alarm clock, the device sends the
owner an SMS (or GPRS packet to the server) with identiers of up to 4
GSM base stations.This mode is used when the owner does not need to
accurately determine the location of the protected object.
F - standby mode for waiting SMS commands
The most economical mode of operation, when the device wakes up by
the T1/T2 alarm clock, turns on the GSM module and waits for an SMS
message with a command. If there is no command, the device switches
to sleep mode for the time set in the alarm clock. In this mode, the SMS
messages at each activation are not sent to the owner, only the receipt
of new commands is checked.
A - audio control mode
After waking up according to the T1/T2 alarm clock, the device will call
the owner’s number and turn on the built-in microphone for remote
listening to the protected object.
The maximum audio monitoring time is 5 minutes. After the end of the
communication session, the device remains active for the time specied
in the settings.
«SE» - determination of only approximate coordinates and their trans-
mission to the monitoring server via GPRS.
«GE» - determination of the exact GLONASS/GE coordinates and their
transmission to the monitoring server via GPRS.
The device can operate both in one mode and in their combination,
up to 4 modes in each «alarm clock».
BASIC OPERATING MODES

«АвтоФон Альфа-Маяк» 11
«AutoFon Alfa-Mayak» is controlled by sending commands in the
form of SMS messages to the device’s mobile number, or via a server

the current operating mode.
