2Product Overview
The T311 is an anti-theft GPS tracking device specially designed for motorcycles and electric vehicles. The T311 is equipped with
a wireless remote control and a buzzer, so that vehicle arming, disarming, and keyless start can be implemented. In arming
state, if a vehicle is faulty, the buzzer will generate an alarm, and thus the engine is stopped and the vehicle is locked to prevent
stealing.

SMS sending: 0000,A71,Phone number 1,Phone number 2,Phone number 3
SMS reply: IMEI,A71,OK
Description:
Phone number: A function 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: Set phone number 1/2/3 to the SOS phone number. When you call the tracker by using the phone
number, SMSs of locations, geo-fence alarms, low power alarms, and speeding alarms are received, and calls and SMSs of car
towing and stealing alarms are received.
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.

5.5.2 Arming/Disarming
SMS sending: 0000,B21,Status
SMS reply: IMEI,B21,OK
Description:
When Status is 1, enable the arming function. In arming state, activating the engine is an unauthorized operation. If the
operation is performed, the tracker will send an alarm SMS to the preset authorized phone number.
When Status is 0, disable the arming function. In disarming state, all anti-theft alarms will be cleared.
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
commands.
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.

5.6.2 RF Remote Control Code Matching Function
If the remote control does not match the tracker, match the code manually. There are the following two code matching modes:
1. ACC code matching mode
a) In disarming state, turn the vehicle key in the lock for 8 times from ACC OFF to ACC ON, and stay on the ACC ON
state. After 3s, the buzzer will sound “bi” 3 times to enter the code matching state. Note that if it takes more than
3s to turn the key twice, the number of key turning times will recount.
b) Press any key on one remote control. If the buzzer sounds 3 times, the code is matched successfully. Then press any
key on the other remote control, the buzzer sounds 3 times. In this way, you can exit the code matching state. If a
same remote control is pressed twice, code matching performed later for other remote controls does not take
effect.
c) The code matching must be completed within 20s. Otherwise, the code matching state exits automatically.
d) When more than one remote controls are implemented code matching, if a same remote control is pressed twice,
code matching performed later for other remote controls does not take effect.
2. Command code matching mode
a) Send the SMS/GPRS command 000,B24,1 to enter the code matching state. After the tracker receives the command,
the buzzer will sound 3 times.
b) If you have two remote controls, press any key on one remote control. If the buzzer sounds "bi" 3 times, the code is
matched successfully. Then press any key on the other remote control, the buzzer sounds 3 times. In this way, you
can exit the code matching state.
c) The code matching must be completed within 20s. Otherwise, the code matching state exits automatically.
d) When more than one remote controls are implemented code matching, if a same remote control is pressed twice,
code matching performed later for other remote controls does not take effect.
