Introduction
Thank you for choosing the JRC Technology JRC06Z 3G GPS/WCDMA Tracker. Following the shutdown of
the Telstra & Optus GSM/2G networks many of the trackers previously using the GSM frequencies will
no longer function.
We ordered a number of units to test and found these to be the best in both appearance, build quality.
functionality, usability and value for money.
This User Manual is intended to assist you with installation and ongoing use of the JRC Technology 3G
GPS/WCDMA Tracker. If you are not sure where to install, how to install or user functions, please email
us at [e-mail] or call us on 1300 113 802 and we will be more than happy to assist
you.
Note 1: Each vehicle model is different and we may not be able to provide exact information on how to
install the GPS Tracker in your specific vehicle. The installation is very basic if you have a little bit of 12
volt wiring knowledge, however if you aren’t confident in performing the installation, please seek the
assistance of a professional. Any auto electrician should be able to perform the installation for you.
We can take no responsibility for damage caused by incorrect installation.
Note 2: The GPS Tracker, if installed as per the instructions is always on. That means that it is always
connected to 12 volt power so that if you need to locate your vehicle at any time, the unit has power
and will respond. This means that there is always a very small drain on your vehicles battery. It is highly
recommended to supply the GPS with constant 12 volt power however it is important to keep the
battery drain in mind.

Initial Setup
SIM Card Setup
1. In order to use your PrePaid Telstra service in the GPS unit you need to contact Telstra and
register the PrePaid account using your information.
2. During the setup they should ask if you wish to select a PrePaid plan to use with the new PrePaid
service.
a. If they don’t ask, you may prompt them that you wish to select a Pre-Paid plan while on
the phone with them and place credit on it.
b. The alternative is that you select a plan and credit at a later date that suits you. They
may also direct you to the Telstra Account portal to manage your credit.
Refer to the Recommended Plans section in the Tips & Tricks document for information on our
preferred PrePaid Plans.
If you wish to use a PostPaid plan, you can request Telstra to configure a PostPaid Plan on the
same SIM card provided with you GPS Tracker. Keep an eye on your usage though until you
understand how much data or credit the GPS unit will use in your situation or you may end up
with a large bill!
3. Once you have registered and added credit to your PrePaid Plan you are ready to start using the
GPS Tracker!
GPS Unit Setup
1. Unpack your GPS Tracker from the box and turn the unit so that the Orange waterproof cover is
facing you and the wires are on the right side (as per the image below)
2. You will see a small gap on one side of the Orange cover. Using your finger nail or other suitable
implement and light force, pry the cover open. It will make a small clip as it comes out.

3. Insert the SIM Card
You can now insert your SIM card into the GPS unit. It is inserted as per the diagram below (with
the chip facing up). Use the supplied plastic tool which can be found next to the GPS Tracker in
the package you received to push the SIM in place until it snaps in place.
4. Turn the GPS unit On
After inserting the SIM Card you can use the small switch to the left of the SIM Card slot to
power the unit on so it automatically comes on when 12 volts are connected. This saves you
having to go back into the waterproof cover.
Using the supplied tool slide the switch to the RIGHT.
5. Connect the GPS to a 12 volt source using the wiring diagrams provided.
6. You should see the lights come on. Wait approximately 2 minutes for the GPS unit to get a GPS
and mobile signal connection (refer to Light Descriptions table to see status).

Note: The Green Mobile Signal light on the right side can be hard to see if the sun is out. Shield
the GPS with your hand and look closely to confirm the light is on.
7. If all 3 lights are staying solid and not flashing you can proceed to use the SMS functions to setup
and test your new GPS!

Installation Locations
Because your new GPS Tracker needs to connect to satellites when it is parked and also moving, it is
critical that it is not installed under any metal pieces in your vehicle.
Most GPS Tracker guides recommend installation in the front windscreen or rear window
compartments, however we don’t recommend these as the units are quite obvious.
Recommended Location
It will depend on the vehicle you are installing the GPS Tracker in as to which location is most accessible,
however we have found the easiest covert location to be in behind the A pillar trim (refer to image). This
piece of trim is usually very easy to remove in most vehicles and has the constant 12 volt wiring for the
interior light behind it that you can tap into to get power. The negative is often switched for the interior
light so it is recommended to find a suitable grounding point under the dashboard.
Note: Be careful when selecting a 12 volt source behind the A pillar trim because sometimes there are
two active sources when a door is open, but only one is constant, the other is triggered by the open
door!

Alternative Locations
If the A pillar trim cannot be simply removed, you have curtain airbags behind it or you cannot get
constant 12 volt power behind it you will need to select another location. The wiring method is the same
for any position on vehicle, but bear in mind that you may need to extend the wiring if you install away
from a 12 volt power source or the fuel pump wires (if using the fuel cut off).
At the end of the day, the GPS Tracker can be installed in any location where it is not blocked by metal,
however you will need to choose the best location based on your vehicle type.
Some possible installation locations include:
Under the dashboard (not blocked by metal)
oPros: Lots of 12 volt sources, GPS can transmit through dashboard material, close to
other wiring
oCons: Can be difficult to get the GPS unit high enough up under the dash without
removing additional trim pieces.
Under the parcel shelf (the top, not the metal frame)
oPros: 12 volt sources, GPS can transmit through parcel shelf material
oCons: Further from other wiring
Under rear interior trim segments in the rear of the vehicle (above wheel arches/below
windows)
oPros: Very covert, GPS can transmit through plastic trim material
oCons: May be hard to find 12 volt source, Removal of trim panels can be difficult,
Further from other wiring

Wiring Instructions
The GPS Tracker has lots of functionality in a small unit, however you don’t need to connect all wires in
order to make use of the core GPS Tracking functions. This section will provide a breakdown of the
simple and advanced installation. You can choose which to go ahead with based on the functionality you
require.
