Turn on the device, then Meitrack Manager will detect the device model automatically and the parameter page will appear
accordingly.
For details about Meitrack Manager, see the MEITRACK Manager User Guide.
6.5 Tracking by Mobile Phone
Call or send the 0000,A00 command by SMS to the device's SIM card number. The device will reply to an SMS with a map link.
Click the SMS link. The device's location will be displayed on Google Maps on your mobile phone.
Note: Ensure that the device's SIM card number has subscribed the caller ID service. Otherwise, the tracking function by mobile
phone will be unavailable.
SMS example:

6.6 Common SMS Commands
6.6.1 Setting Authorized Phone Numbers –A71
SMS sending: 0000,A71,Phone number 1,Phone number 2,Phone number 3
SMS reply: IMEI,A71,OK
Description:
Phone number: A phone number has a maximum of 16 bytes. If no phone numbers are set, leave them blank. Phone numbers
are empty by default.
Phone number 1/2/3: SOS phone numbers. When you call the tracker by using these phone numbers, you will receive SMS
notification about the location, geo-fence alarm and low power alarm.
If you need to delete all authorized phone numbers, send 0000,A71.
When the SOS button is pressed, the tracker dials phone numbers 1, 2, and 3 in sequence. The tracker stops dialing when a
phone number responds.
Example:
Sending: 0000,A71,13811111111,13822222222,13833333333
Reply: 353358017784062,A71,OK
6.6.2 Setting the Smart Sleep Mode –A73
SMS sending: 0000,A73,Sleep level
SMS reply: IMEI,A73,OK
Description:
When the sleep level is 0 (default value), disable the sleep mode.

MEITRACK MVT600 User Guide
Copyright © 2018 Meitrack Group All rights reserved. - 11 -
When the sleep level is 1, the tracker enters the normal sleep mode. The GSM module always works, and the GPS module
occasionally enters the sleep mode. The tracker works 25% longer in the normal sleep mode than that in the normal working
mode. This mode is not recommended for short interval tracking; this will affect the route precision.
When the sleep level is 2, the tracker enters deep sleep mode. If no event (SOS, button changes, incoming calls, SMSs, or
vibration) is triggered after five minutes, the GPS module will stop, and the GSM module will enter sleep mode. Once an event
is triggered, the GPS and GSM modules will be woken up.
Note: In any condition, you can use an SMS command to disable the sleep mode, and then the tracker exits the sleep mode and
returns back to the normal working mode.
Example:
Sending: 0000,A73,2
Reply: 353358017784062,A73,OK
For details about SMS commands, see the MEITRACK SMS Protocol.
Note:
1. The default SMS command password is 0000. You can change the password by using Meitrack Manager and SMS
command.
2. The device can be configured by SMS commands with a correct password. After an authorized phone number is set, only
the authorized phone number can receive the preset SMS event report.
7Logging In to MS03 Tracking System
Visit http://ms03.trackingmate.com, enter the user name and password, and log in to the MS03. (Purchase the login account
from your provider.)

Started").
The MS03 supports the following functions:
Track by time interval or distance.
Query historical trips.
Set polygonal geo-fences.
Bind driver and vehicle information.
View various reports.
Send commands in batches.
Support OTA updates.
For details, see the MEITRACK GPS Tracking System MS03 User Guide.
8Installing the MVT600
