GPS, the device can be used to track and report device’s position and status to mobile
phone through SMS or Main Data Server (MDS) through HTTP. The operation modes
include continuous tracking and position lock (park). SOS buttons can be used to send
emergency call. All configurations can be set through SMS or USB interface. The wireless
communication includes UDP, TCP/IP, HTTP and SMS. With MTK EPO, it can get shorter

2. BEFORE YOU GETTING STARTED
2.1 Possible Additional Fee
 Position request and position response sent by SMS will be charged.
 Each zoom operation will be charged according to data quantity transferred.
2.2 About GPS
 GPS signals are incapable of penetrating solid objects that are non-transparent. The
signals will be also affected by surface cover such as tall buildings, tunnels, elevated
expressways, forests etc., or weather conditions such as overcast and rain. If the
vehicle is poorly insulated against heat and contains metal parts, GPS signals will not
be able to penetrate.
 All wireless communication devices such as cell phones, or traffic police speed
detectors can interfere with the reception of GPS signals and results in unstable
signals.
 To get position fix successfully, please hold the Holux logo up for better signal
orientation.
 There is no guaranty that SOS message will be successfully sent at distressed
environment where GPS or GSM signals are weak.
2.3 About Power
 Though this device is USB compliant and can be bus powered, it is NOT
recommended to charge the device though your computer via USB connection. The
manufacturer disclaims any liabilities for damage to the handset or personal PC
caused by any improper use.
 It takes 5 ~ 120 seconds for the device to be completely powered off. If the device is in
the process of acquiring position fix or position report, the power-offing will not be
performed until the previous process is complete.
 Tracker-007 cannot be powered on if battery voltage is below 3.5 volts.
2.4 About SIM PIN Code & GPRS
Notice: SIM PIN should be unlocked before being inserted into the device. SIM PIN can be
disabled through ordinary mobile phone.
• SIM card GPRS function enabled is required for normal operation.
• The default PIN code in device is 0000. If SIM lock is enabled and password is
incorrect, power on/off device three times will make the SIM card locked
permanently. Only PUK code can unlock the SIM in such case. If SIM PIN is
enabled, make sure the PIN code is set to device by TrackerConfig. The PIN code

• If the SIM card is not inserted or SIM card is invalid, position fix function will be
disabled.
• Google map installed in your cell phone will be downloaded by GPRS
automatically when ezSpot is well installed.
