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 included accessories allow the vehicle operator to quickly install or
remove. The operation of 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
After inserting a SIM card and setting up via SMS or a mobile phone or PC application, the device is
connected to the vehicle's electrical system. After switching on, the GPS receiver and the SIM card
automatically connect to the GPS and GSM networks (if available) and start 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 or connecting it to the vehicle, 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.
The subscription software provided by the distributor for the device greatly expands the range of
features of the device. These extensions are only available in the mobile or PC 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.

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
service provided by your dealer, you must activate GPRS (Internet) data traffic and enter the
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.

It is advisable to have the installation carried out by a specialist. Do not install the device in an
environment that shields the GSM network, and be sure to adjust the antennas to provide the
strongest possible reception. Select the installation location so that the device does not come into
contact with dust or water during operation.

Using the product
User Interface
The device does not have a traditional user interface (eg on / off button). An LED indicator informs the
user about its operation and status. In addition, only the charger connector, the SIM card slot and a
carrying strap can be connected on its surface.

temporary disconnection of the vehicle. When connected to a vehicle, the battery is charged, and if
disconnected, it can be charged using a phone charger and a USB cable.
A cable with a micro type USB connector can be used to charge the device.
When the battery is fully charged, disconnect the charging cable. The device does NOT
have overcharge protection, so keeping it on a long-term or continuous charger (eg
connecting to a vehicle battery) will shorten the life of the device or, in worse cases,
damage it. For the device with a voltage of 5V 1 Use a charger that provides current.
Chargers with a higher capacity can damage the battery.
The device operates continuously when connected to a vehicle. Powered by its own battery, its
operating time is approx. half an hour.
Switching on and off
The device switches on automatically when you insert the SIM card, and switches it off when you
remove it. It does not have a separate on / off button.
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.

In the interface that appears, select Help and review the information for using the software.2.

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

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.
