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.
The manufacturer has designed this GPS smartwatch with large control buttons to track adults and
the elderly, with the help of which it is possible to check the position of the wearer remotely on his
mobile phone without disturbing him. With the help of the SIM card in it, the GPS tracking watch can
be called in the same way as a mobile phone. It has a built-in microphone and speaker, GPS and GSM
antenna, blood pressure and heart rate monitor. The device can be operated with the SIM card of any
GSM service provider.
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
You can use the device after charging, inserting the SIM card, and setting it up via SMS or a mobile
phone or PC application. The device automatically connects to the GPS and GSM networks using the
GPS receiver and the SIM card (if available) and starts 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.
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 further 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
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.

Charging the battery
The watch is powered by a built-in battery, which needs to be charged at different intervals
depending on the intensity of use. The magnetic charging cable connector is located on the back of
the device. The correct connection of the cable is facilitated by the attraction / repulsion of the
magnet.
During charging, the LED on the front of the watch flashes red every 1 second; when the battery is
fully charged, the blinking turns solid green. The charging time is approx. 3 hours.
If the LED display flashes red every 5 seconds, the battery is running low and needs to be charged.
A charger with a maximum current of 1 A may be used for the clock with a voltage of 5V!
Chargers with a higher capacity can damage the battery.

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.
Setting options via software
When using the desktop or mobile application of Flexcom Kft, the setup operations related to tracing
can be accessed in the following ways.
The settings and commands that can be issued depend on the type of device. See the
