6First Use
6.1 Installing the SIM Card
To install the SIM card, perform the following operations:
1. Loosen the screws, and remove the cover.
2. Insert the SIM card into the card slot with its gold-plated contacts facing towards the Printed Circuit Board (PCB).
3. Close the cover, and tighten the screws.
Note:
Ensure that the SIM card has sufficient balance.
Ensure that the phone card PIN lock has been closed properly.
Ensure that the SIM card in the MVT100 has subscribed the caller ID service if you want to use your authorized phone
number to call the MVT100.
Power off the MVT100 before installing the SIM card.
6.2 Charging
When you use the MVT100 for the first time, connect the MVT100 GND (-Black) and Power (+Red) wires to 12 V or 24 V
external power supply for charging. Ensure that the MVT100 is charged at least three hours. Eight hours are recommended.
The MVT100 can be installed on a vehicle only after it is configured and tested.

6.6 Common SMS Commands
6.6.1 Setting a Combined Function Phone Number –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, the tracker will reply an
SMS with the location and send geo-fence alarms and low power alarms.
If all combined function phone numbers need to be deleted, 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: 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.
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: 0000,A73,2
Reply: 353358017784062,A73,OK
