Product Description
The device combines several functions of accurate positioning, safety, monitoring, emergency alarms
and full tracking. It supports SMS / GPRS / Internet data transfer functions and can be widely used in
many areas of location-based services, traffic safety and management.
Based on its design and mounting, the device was designed by the manufacturer primarily for
tracking (land, water or air) vehicles - as a result, its users are primarily the owners and drivers
operating the vehicles. The device is based on the GSM / GPRS network and GPS satellite positioning.
You can track your device using SMS messages or a web application.
Settings that affect the operation of the device can only be changed from another device
(smartphone, computer) using the appropriate application or SMS commands - so users can be sure
that the device always works according to the parameters they specify.

How to use
The device can be used after inserting a SIM card, inserting it in a car and then setting it up via SMS
or a mobile phone or PC application. Once turned on, the GPS receiver and SIM card will automatically
connect to the GPS and GSM networks (if available) and begin collecting position data, which can be
queried using SMS or an Internet application.
To use the features of your device, you need a SIM card, similar to a mobile phone. The device
communicates with the mobile service provider's network via SIM card, SMS or mobile phone or PC
applications. After inserting the SIM card and charging the battery, you can make the necessary
settings by sending an application or SMS (eg entering the device ID name, frequency of sending GPS
position data, etc.).
When switched on
The device continuously registers position data, which can be queried with SMS commands at a
limited level.
If you have a software subscription, the device sends the position data to the software service
center - the processed results (eg map route display, route event list, real-time tracking) - can
be viewed in the phone or computer application.
You will find detailed information on the installation, use, maintenance and decommissioning of the
device in the following sections of the documentation.

Preparing the SIM card
As with mobile phones, a SIM card is required to operate the device. The device communicates with
the mobile service provider's network via SIM card, SMS or mobile phone or PC applications.
You can purchase the card independently from your mobile service provider or, in the
case of a software subscription, from your product distributor. If you received the SIM
card from your dealer, you do not need to make any settings: the card is already set up,
inserted in the device, switched on and ready for use.
If you have received the SIM card from your dealer, do not try to transfer it to another
device (eg phone) and use it! The distributor (service provider) will reimburse the
resulting costs or the correction of the resulting errors.
Settings for your SIM card
If you did not obtain the SIM card from your tracking device vendor, you must set it up before
inserting and using it in the device, which you can do as follows.
Disable SIM card PIN and other functions
Insert the SIM card in your phone.1.
Among the setting functions of the phone2.
turn off the PIN code request, auto-reply and call forwarding options.3.
After turning off the above, insert the card into the tracking device. See the next section for
instructions on how to insert the SIM card.
Setting up data traffic
If you want to operate the device not only via SMS, but also e.g. If you use the software tracking

The LED display lights only during the commissioning phase after the device has been
switched on, not during subsequent continuous operation - for safety reasons. To make
sure your device is working and connected to the GSM and GPS network, turn it off and
then on again.
Charging the battery
The device is powered by a built-in battery, which must be charged at various intervals via the USB
connector, depending on the intensity of use.
The manufacturer has supplied the appropriate charger and USB charging cable with the device. It is
connected to the tracking device via a MICRO USB connector - if you do not use the factory cable,
make sure that it is type-compliant!
Placement
You can use the magnetic base to place the device on any metallic surface of the vehicle that is
suitable for magnetic mounting.

After turning on and positioning the device, the removal sensor button is pressed and activated after
15 seconds. If the device is then removed or dropped, an SMS message will be sent to the admin
phone.
Switching on and off
You can activate or deactivate the device with the on / off button. When switched on, the device
automatically searches for connections to the GSM / GPRS network and GPS satellites. The LED
display informs about the process and the result.
Operating time
The device battery provides 90 days of standby time and several weeks to months of continuous
operation, depending on the intensity of use.
Normal operation of the device
The device can be operated in the following ways:
using the software service provided by the distributor and the SIM card together, in addition to1.
the software service provided by the distributor but using his own SIM card, or
without the service provider's software service, with your own SIM card.2.
The service provider provides a SIM card for the tracking device only if you subscribe to
the software service. In the case of unsolicited use of the software, the user must provide
the appropriate card with a data traffic limit (also).
With Distributor Software and SIM Card
In this case, you can receive the device in the ready state, no further settings are required to use it.
Separate software is available for setting or adjusting the operating parameters of the device, for
retrieving information or for using more advanced services (eg map route display, waiting and travel
points, diagrams, timetable, etc.). This is provided by the distributor in the form of a downloadable
application on a desktop and tablet browser on an Android mobile phone as part of a subscription
system.
To use the software, an active internet connection is required on your device (mobile
phone, computer).
The software stores and processes the data sent by the tracking device to the service provider's
center, from which the graphical and textual information is generated. Using the software triggers
(sometimes very expensive) SMS and voice call communication with the device and provides tracking
and security services that go well beyond the basic functions of the device.

distributor or registered on its website.
In the interface that appears, select Help and review the information for using the software.2.
Software management information is available in its help.3.
With Distributor software but with own SIM card
After setting up and inserting the SIM card as described in the setup chapter, you must register the
card. To do this, contact your software service provider (device vendor). From now on, the operation
of the device is the same as described in the previous chapter.
Without software, with own SIM card
If you have subscribed to the reseller's software service, DO NOT use the standalone SMS
communication method because
redundant (the software has all the functions needed for tracking and settings),
the software provider charges a separate fee for the possible elimination of
possible operational anomalies caused by SMS commands,
if you use your own SIM card in the device, SMS will incur extra costs,
if you use your service provider's SIM card, your service provider will reimburse you
for the cost of the SMS.
If you do not use (have not subscribed) to the software service provided by the dealer, you can only
use the basic functions of the device - by sending SMS messages from your mobile phone to the
phone number of the device's SIM card.

Description Device response
Call the phone number of the device's SIM card
from your phone. After receiving the call, the
device cancels it and then sends the data back in
an SMS message: latitude and longitude, current
speed, time and link, which, when clicked /
tapped, will display the device's indicator on the
Google map in our phone's browser.
If the device cannot connect to GPS satellites (eg
inside a building or in another shaded area), use
the cell information of the GSM transmission
towers to determine its position (LBS, Location
Based Service). Its accuracy depends largely on
the distance from the towers and the mobile
network coverage.
If you have not previously set up an administrator
phone number, the machine can be called from
any location - otherwise it will only answer calls
from the administrator number.
