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 and installing a SIM card and then setting it up via SMS or a
mobile phone or PC application. Once installed, 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 on the mobile service provider's network with a SIM card, via SMS, or via 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 a limited number of
SMS commands.
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 can find detailed information on the installation, use, maintenance and decommissioning of the
device in the following sections of the documentation.

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.

appropriate network settings. To do this, you need to send SMS messages from your phone to the
phone number of the SIM card inserted in the tracking device, as shown in the table below.

Installation
The device must be connected to an external power source (eg vehicle battery) as shown below:
Flexcom

Flexcom Communication Ltd Installation and operating instructions (2021/03/23)

The device's own battery is used to bridge the short-term disconnection time from an
external power source. It is charged during normal operation.
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.
After launching the application in a browser or phone:
In the login window, enter the username and password you received in the email from the1.
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.
