1. Introduction
The GL505 is a powerful waterproof GPS tracker designed for fixed asset tracking
applications. It is powered by two user replaceable CR123A lithium batteries.
Configuration allows it to wake up on a preset schedule to check if it needs to shift from
dormant to active status and/or send update of its current location, then returning to a
dormant state. Optimally configured it will operate autonomously for 1000 days. Its built in
3-axis accelerometer allows the GL505 to detect asset movement and transmit an alert
message. The integrated @Track interface protocol allows the GL505 to communicate
with a customer mobile phone or a back end server via GPRS/SMS and transfer reports of
GPS position, etc. System integrators can easily incorporate the GL505 into existing
tracking systems based on this full-featured protocol.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference.
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.

shown in upon figure, please note that the polarity mark of the battery and battery holder
need to be consistent.
Note:it is necessary and important to check the voltage of two batteries before installation
and use. You should not put the two batteries with different voltage in the same machine,
that will result in damage of the machine or explosion at the worst. New batteries need to
installed after low battery indication(change the two batteries at the same time).
3.5. Power On the Dvice
After inserted the Battery, GL505 will power on automatically, the Status LED will start
