HI-601VT GPS/GSM Tracker
INTRODUCTIONS:
With HI-601VT GPS/GSM tracker, one can track, remote
control, tapping any object globally in real time by using any
regular SIM card (with one phone number), any regular phone
(home phone, mobile phone, smart phone, etc.) and any local
mapping software or Google Earth. No any special software
needed. Because HI-601VT is small in size and main unit come
with the big capacity rechargeable battery, it is also very
suitable for personal tracking. On the HI-601VT, one can press
the “panic button” and HI-601VT will instantly dial back to the
preset telephone numbers (can set three numbers in different
priority).
With the optional car kit accessories, car control cables, micro-
phone, moving sensor, one can remotely control certain
functions:
Car control cable sets:To stop the car oil and electricity from
any phone.
Micro-phone sets:to hear the voice around HI-601VT.
Vibration sensor:HI-601VT will automatically dial back when
the moving occur.

HOW HI-601VT works:
Unlike most GPS/GSM tracker using the GPRS communication
or SMS message in none-real time mode and require control
station (require monthly fee) or Internet access, HI-601VT no
need any control center and special software. Since it is point
to point solution, it is also no need to check the object from the
Internet. wherever one can make the phone call, one can track
the object and see the moving from any local mapping software
or Google Earth in real time simultaneously.
Just like you call someone and someone tells you where the
object is and shows you where he is on the mapping software.
HI-601VT provide non-stop and continue real time tracking
without time limitation. Just like you talk to someone over the
phone as long as you can.

Step by Step operation explanations:
1.Switch power on HI-601VT main unit.
2.The GPS receiver module in HI-601VT start receive GPS
satellite signal (The GPS LED blinking means the GPS is in 3D
fixed and the data is valid)
3.The GSM module starts sending the GPS data via GSM
network back to the host side (The GSM LED blinking means
the GSM network stand by and stay on means the GSM
connected with some host)
4.Dial the Telephone number from the host side to the HI-
601VT main unit.
5.Switch on HI-601VT decoder (Switch on the middle for data
out via wired connection and to the most right side for
wireless Bluetooth connection)
6.Attach the decoder ot the phone speaker.
7.The HI-601VT A/D decoder start to decoding the Analog GPS
voice message into real-time GPS digital NMEA message.
8.On the decoder unit, connect the PS/II output cable or set up
Bluetooh connection to the display unit (such as smart
phone, PDA, laptopPC, desktopPC, etc.)
9.Using any standard NMEA mapping software, select the com
port, start GPS (just like using normal GPS receiver)

1. Put in SIM card (please disable the pin code require)
and turn the power on (make sure the HI-601VT can
“see” the sky or no metal material blocking)
2. Call the telephone number inside HI-601VT and hear
the continue dial tone. Connect the decoder and attach
decoder microphone to the phone speaker.
3. Set up Bluetooth connection between the decoder and
the PC or mobile device (just treat the decoder as a
regular Bluetooth GPS receiver). Open local mapping
software (or Google Earth), select the com port,
start GPS.

Use HI-601VT unit as a regular GPS receiver:
By connecting different kinds of optional accessory cables from
the side of HI-601VT mini1394 connector, the HI-601VT can
also be all kind regular GPS receivers.
For instance, HI-601VT can connect a HI-403BT cube and the
combination can be a regular Bluetooth GPS receiver for car
navigation. Or, connect an optional USB cable to become a USB
GPS receiver for laptopPC navigation.
