6.5.2 Setting a Function Phone Number
SMS sending: 0000,A71,Phone number 1,Phone number 2,Phone number 3
SMS Responding: IMEI,A71,OK
Description:
A function phone number has a maximum of 16 bytes. Phone numbers are empty by default.
Set phone number 1 to an SOS phone number. When the tracker is called by using the phone number, SMSs of locations,
geo-fence alarms, and low power alarms are received, and calls and SMSs of unauthorized door opening and ignition are
received.

MEITRACK MVT800 User Guide

If all 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
Responding: 353358017784062,A71,OK
6.5.3 Arming/Disarming
A wireless remote control or SMS command can be used to set the anti-theft function.
You are advised to use a wireless remote control and buzzer to strengthen protection. Set an authorized phone number to
ensure that SMSs and calls can be received when a vehicle is stolen.
Set by wireless remote control: Press the Lock key on the remote control to enter the arming state. If a buzzer is installed
and makes a sound, arming is implemented successfully. If no buzzer is installed, check whether the preset phone number
receives a call or an SMS. Press Unlock to enter the disarming state.
Set by SMS command: Set arming or disarming by SMS command.
SMS command: 0000,B21,Status
Response: IMEI,B21,OK
Note:
When Status is 1, enable the arming function. In arming state, opening the vehicle door and starting the ACC are
unauthorized operations. If these operations are performed, the tracker will send an alarm SMS and make a call to the
preset authorized phone number.
When Status is 0, disable the arming function. In disarming state, all anti-theft alarms will be cleared.

6.6 Meiligao Protocol
6.6.1 Tracking on a Mobile Phone
The following two methods can be used to query a location:
1. Dial the tracker phone number. After the phone is answered, you hang up. The tracker will report the following
information:
Latitude = 22 32 36.63N Longitude = 114 04 57.37E, Speed = 2.6854Km/h, 2008-12-24,01:50
Visit http://maps.google.com, and enter the latitude and longitude to get the location.
2. Use an SMS command.
SMS command: W000000,100
Description: After you send the SMS command to the tracker, the following link will be received:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=22.540103,114.082329&ie=UTF8&z=16&iwloc=addr&om=1
Click the link on your mobile phone. The tracker location will be displayed on Google Map on your mobile phone.
Note: Only smartphones and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) support this function.
Example: W000000,100
6.6.2 Setting an Authorized Phone Number
SMS command: W******,003,F,P,T
Description: The authorized phone number is used to receive calls and SMS reports about SOS alarms, input 2/input 3 alarms
and positioning information, and unauthorized door opening/vehicle starting.
Note: For details about SMS commands, see the Meiligao SMS Protocol.

6.6.3 Arming/Disarming
Set the anti-theft function by using the same method in section 6.5.3 "Arming/Disarming."
6.7 Advanced Settings
6.7.1 Setting the Vehicle Speed Coefficient Function
Connect tracker input 5 to the vehicle speed sensor, and set the vehicle speed coefficient to calibrate the vehicle speed. After
the calibration is successful, calculate the vehicle speed and mileage based on the vehicle speed coefficient. The following two
methods are used to set the function:
1. Automatically calibrate the vehicle speed coefficient.
a) The vehicle has been driving for 60s when the GPS speed is greater than 60 km/h.
b) The tracker has recorded the number of sensor pulses within 60s.
c) No sound prompt
d) The calibration cannot be performed if there is no pulse.
2. Manually calibrate the vehicle speed coefficient.
a) Send SMS or GPRS command B23 to enter the calibration state. After the tracker receives the command, the buzzer
will make a long sound, and the green indicator is steady on.
SMS command: 0000,B23,Status
Description: When Status is 1, enter the calibration state. The SMS command is 0000,B23,1.
When Status is 0, exit the calibration state.
Response: 0000,B23,OK
b) When the vehicle is driven at the speed of 40 km/h, press the SOS button over 2s, the tracker starts to count the
number of pulses within 2s. After the calibration is performed successfully, the buzzer makes two short sounds and
then two long sounds. The green indicator recovers to the normal state.
c) The current calibration value will be saved automatically after the calibration is performed successfully. In other
words, the vehicle speed detected by the tracker will not be calibrated by using GPS positioning.
d) When the tracker enters the calibration state and you do not press the SOS button five minutes after timeout, the
tracker exits the calibration state.
6.7.2 (Optional) Setting the RF Remote Control Code Matching Function
If the remote control does not match the tracker, match the code manually. To identify code matching status, a buzzer needs to
be used together with the remote control and tracker. There are the following two code matching modes:
1. ACC code matching mode
The code matching method can be used when input 4 is connected to the ACC. Perform the following operations to match
the code:
a) Turn 8 times from ACC OFF to ACC ON, and stay on the ACC ON state.
b) After 3s, the buzzer makes two short sounds and then one long sound. It indicates that the tracker enters the code
matching state. Meanwhile, the tracker green indicator is steady on.
c) During the code matching state, press any key of the remote control to be matched within 20s. If the buzzer makes
two sounds, the code is matched successfully. If you want to match another remote control, the operations are the
same as that of the first remote control.
d) When only one remote control needs code matching and no operations will be performed later, the system
automatically exits the code matching mode 20s after the code is matched successfully.

MEITRACK MVT800 User Guide
Copyright © 2015 Meitrack Group All rights reserved. - 15 -
Note:
The interval between two times of ACC ON states cannot exceed 3s. Otherwise, the conversion times will be cleared.
Complete the code matching within 20s. Otherwise, the system automatically exits the code matching state.
After the code of one remote control is matched successfully, press a key on the remote control, and then the code
matching mode exits.
2. Command code matching mode
a) SMS command: 0000,B24,Status
Description: When Status is 1, enter the code matching state. The SMS command is 0000,B24,1.
When Status is 0, exit the code matching state.
Response: 0000,B24,OK
b) After the code matching mode is entered, operations are the same as that of the ACC code matching method.
Defining RF Remote Control Keys
1 2
3 4
Key 1: If the buzzer makes a sound, the arming state is entered after you press the key.
Key 2: If the buzzer makes two sounds, the arming state is entered after you press the key.
Key 3: Press and hold down the key for over 2s, and then an SMS or a GPRS alarm is generated (same as the function of
the SOS button). When you dial the authorized phone number, the tracker automatically enters the silent listen-in state,
and the buzzer and loudspeaker make no sound.
Key 4: Press the key to look for a vehicle. Then, the buzzer will make five sounds.
Note: For details about how to enable the anti-theft function, see section 6.5.3 "Arming/Disarming."
7MS02 Tracking System
1. Configure parameters in any of the following ways:
Configured by SMS: Send SMS commands 0000,A21,1,67.203.13.26,8800,APN,APN username,APN password and
0000,A12,6,0 to the tracker SIM card number.
Configured by Meitrack Manager: Connect the tracker to a PC, and run Meitrack Manager to enter the main
interface. Then select GPRS Tracking, and set parameters including Server IP, Port, APN, Turn on TCP, and Time
Interval.
2. Visit ms02.trackingmate.com, and enter the user name and password. Contact us if you have no account or forget the
password.
3. Go to the map, and choose Manage > Admin.
4. Select a user, and click Add a New Device.

GSM antenna GPS antenna
Connect the GSM antenna to the SMA connector which is labeled "GSM". The GSM antenna is non-directional, so you can hide
it in any place of a vehicle.
Connect the GPS antenna to the connector which is labeled "GPS". It is recommended that the antenna should face up to the
sky and the antenna side with words should face downwards. Secure the antenna by using double sided tapes.
Note: Do not install the GPS antenna at a place with metals.
