1. Precaution before Installation
zCheck if all the parts are included.
zPrepare a SIM card for GSM communication. Use some other mobile phone to
confirm that the PIN code has not been set, and that it can dial out and receive
telephone calls without problem.
zBefore install the SIM card, make sure to cut off power from the AVL unit. The
correct installation method is to push the tray completely into the AVL unit, until
you feel it is hooked by something.
zIt takes longer time (over 20 minutes) to get a position fix for the very first
time positioning.
zThe factory default password is “8888”.

Fasten the connection by turning the screw in the bottom.
Please do not swing round the antenna itself.
Step 2: Install SIM Card
(1) Unscrew and remove the back cover of the device. Push the holder top upward to
loose it.

the connectors on PCB, as shown in the picture.
(3) Flip down the holder top. Push the holder top leftward, and let it snap in completely.
Step 3: Connect GPS Antenna
GPS antenna is used to receive satellite signals in
the sky. It should be positioned at a place where it
will have an unobstructed view of the sky, such as
the metallic windshield.
If your car is with metallic windshield, please cut a hole
on the windshield above the place where you put the
GPS antenna, so that the antenna can receive the GPS signals.
Step 4: Connect to the power source, and turn on the unit
Step 5: Check if GPS can works properly
※Method：When GPS has got position fix, the GPS LED will
turn from constant glow to “blinking light”. Check if the GPS
LED has turned to “blinking light”.

You can get the latitude & longitude data by sending “111#Password” SMS (short
message) command Code to the GPS Tracker. Input the received latitude &
longitude data to Google Earth (from earth.google.com) or Google Maps (maps.google.com),
then you can find the position fix in the map. Please find below the example.
Step1. Send a SMS Command Code“111#8888＂to the GPS Tracker.
Step2. GPS Tracker will send back the latitude & longitude data.
Step3. Input the latitude/longitude data (N52 21.6911', E004 48.5627) into the
column of “Search” and click on search button, Google Earth/Google Maps

It is because the position data of your device still can not be sent back to GooTrac server by
GPRS. There must be some problem with the SIM card, or the GPRS APN settings, or some
other telecom problem.
Following are some of the possible factors which may cause the data can not be sent back to
GooTrac server by GPRS.
1. The APN setting is not correct
Please check with your mobile operator for the latest & exact GPRSAPN settings; if
User_Name & APN_Password required for the APN settings. Please note that the data
provided by us were what found in the internet, which maybe out of date. You must check
with your local telecom company for the correct APN data.
2. The SIM card does not support GPRS communication
Please check with the telecom company if the GPRS function of the SIM card has been
activated. Maybe the SIM card does support GPRS; but not yet been activated. You must
call & ask the telecom company to have the GPRS function opened.
(*Please note that one can link to internet by WAP, or MMS, or GPRS; but only GPRS is good for
real-time tracking; WAP & MMS are not workable - i.e. it is not for sure that the SIM Card does work on
GPRS, even though you can link to internet with the sim card.)
3. The GPRS communication is simplex, not duplex
Please check with your telecom company if the GPRS communication is duplex not simplex
- i.e. the device can both receive & send out GPRS data.
4. The 3 SMS commands to set up the GPS tracker were not sent correctly
Please double check the 3 SMS commands sent to the device, and make sure the
commands were sent correctly.
5. Firewall or Anti-virus Software
The operation of GooTrac is blocked by firewall or anti-virus software. We suggest you to
disable all the firewall/protection for the PC used for testing; and have this PC linked to
internet directly, not thru router/intranet... After the communication problem solved, then you
add on the required protection one by one, so that you can find out where the problem
resulted from.
Why I can’t find the IMEI# of my device in GooTrac main screen?
