7. Cautions
1. Don’t put the unit in overheated or overcooled places.
2. Handle carefully. Don’t vibrate or shake it violently.
3. Please use a dry cloth to clear and don’t use chemicals and cleaners.
4. Please don’t paint the device, this may lead to internal circuit failure.
5. Please don’t disassemble the device.
6. Please read the user manual carefully before installation and operation, learn
something more about the voltage range. Otherwise, it won’t work properly or destroy the
product.
8. Faults & the Solutions
Faults
Possible reason
Solution
Can’t turn it on
Battery is too low
Plug charger
No GSM signal
Check if SIM card load well, and
confirm it is GSM network.
1. no calls can be diverted and the
PIN code is locked
2、Change SIM card
Hang off fail
/ monitor fail
If users setup the authorized phone
number, and it will be invalid to call
from a non authorized phone number.
Please delete the authorized phone
number or send command to
initialize the settings to factory
default settings.
GPRS fail to be
online
1.Configure wrong APN, IP, port.
2.Check if there is GPRS subscription
with carrier.
3. Balance is not enough
1. Configure again
2. Subscribe GPRS subscription
3. Charge for the SIM card.
