4.StartTracking
YoucanstarttotrackyourvehicleortestthetrackerafterGSMandGPSlightworknormally.Therearetwowaystotrack
thevehicle,oneisbymobileandtheotheroneisbyFMSplatform.
4.1Trackingbymobile:
9Togetpositionbycalling
1.CalltheSIMcardnumberintrackerfromyourmobile.
2.Trackerwillhangupautomaticallyafterseveralrings,thenrepliesapositionSMStoyourmobilephone.
Note:ifyoudon’tlikethetrackerreplyamessageaftercalling,youcansendcommand000000OPT0toclosethis
function,ifyouwanttorestorethisfunctionlater,youcansendcommand000000OPT1toactivatethisfunctionagain.

