②③ GPS SIGNAL LOST AND RECOVERY ALERT
Send SMS command: GR1 (Default GR0)
The device will automatically send the latest available GPS
information to the preset numbers when it enters an area without
GPS signal. If the user goes into an area that does not have a GPS
signal, such as a tunnel, cave, parking garage etc., the device will
know where the user was 10 minutes before they entered such an
area. This is critical! If a child goes missing, you’ll be able to know
the closest possible location before the GPS signal was lost.
For any SMS sent during the period lacking GPS signal, the device
will reply GPS information to preset numbers soonest as the GPS
signal is recovered.
To turn off this function, send command GR0 to the device.
NOTE: This can generate many SMS messages.
