5 Using the Device

available to purchase as it will not be used very often to use up your credit, you are able
to top up your credit later when you need it.

areas or low reception areas.

voicemail on and make sure that the PIN code is off. SMS messages must be sent in
text format, not PDU format.

Please note : you just need to remember after the "." it's 10KM.
We suggest to set the geo-fence about 3KM .
The following picture will show you how it works; the restricted area is defined by the two coordinates you set.

My Pet Tracker User Manual Page 18
Example below of what the tracker sends you:
lat: 50.633220N long:003.020886E speed: 000.0 25/04/13 09:41 bat:F signal:F
imei:353451045992813
The example below is how to convert for 1km, follow from the example in the previous
table. Put the longtitude first then latitude.
3.010886E,50.623220N;3.030886E,50.643220N
After the unit has been immobile for 3-10 minutes, send an SMS with the following:
stockade[password] longitudeE/W,latitudeN/S;longitudeE/W,latitudeN/S
Eg. stockade123456 3.010886E,50.623220N;3.030886E,50.643220N
This will set the restricted area's boundaries. If the tracker goes beyond those
boundaries, it will send an SMS message reading: stockade! and the location. This
message will be sent to authorized numbers.
Latitude and Longitude Settings: The first latitude and longitude coordinates correspond
to the top left corner of the geo-fence. The second set of coordinates—after the ";" in
your setup message—correspond to the bottom right corner.
Turn Off: Send an SMS: nostockade[password]
Eg. nostockade123456
This will turn off the alert function if the device moves outside of the predefined area.
5.13 Movement Alert
To set up movement alert, the device must be immobile for 3-10 minutes.
To activate the movement alert, send an SMS to the unit: move123456
To turn off the movement alert, send an SMS to the unit: nomove123456

My Pet Tracker User Manual Page 19
This alert will be sent to authorized numbers if the tracker moves from its original
position. It will send geo-information along with the alert.
5.14 Over speed Alert
The overspeed alert will send an SMS to authorized numbers when the speed of the
device exceeds a predefined limit.
Set up this feature by sending an SMS to the device: speed123456 080. This will set
the device to alert you if the speed exceeds 80 km/h. It will send one alarm.
To turn this feature off, send an SMS to the device: nospeed123456
Note: This function works best if the device is set with a minimum speed of 50 km/h. It
may not function properly at lower speeds.
5.15 IMEI Checking
Send an SMS: imei[password]
This will return the IMEI number of the device.
5.16 SOS Button

message: help me ! [geo information] to the first authorized number only. It will send this
message one time.
