Wiring diagram
1. Note: The orange wire can be connected to the original car horn; it can also be
connected to a separate siren (purchased separately).
2. Determine whether the door switch is positive- or negative-active. If positive, then
connect the green wire; if negative, then connect the blue wire.
. Install the Reset button and SOS button within a driver's convenient reach.
4. Insert the shock sensor plug into the sensor jack. (shock sensor is optional)
5. Insert the external monitor Microphone into the monitor jack.
6. Connect the GPS and GSM antenna to the corresponding connectors, and
find a suitable place to mount the antennas to ensure adequate signal reception.

SIM Card Installation
(1) Use tweezers or other sharp object to grip the SIM CARD popup switch.
(2) Remove the SIM card holder and place the SIM card in it. Replace the SIM card
holder into its original position.
( ) Make sure that the SIM card is capable of executing incoming calls display,
where no calls can be diverted and PIN numbers can be locked. The SMS format
must be in TXT format (the unit cannot recognize PDU format).
Turn on the RTITraq
Connect the positive (RED) and ground (BLACK) wires to the 12V or 24V vehicle
power supply, then wait for 1 minute after connecting to confirm that the tracker is
operating properly. Upon confirmation, turn on the backup battery switch.

Single Locating
If no authorized numbers have been established, any phone number calling the RTITraq will
reply with an SMS, including the current latitude and longitude information. If any authorized
number has been set successfully, the RTITraq will respond only to authorized numbers with
tracking information.
Calling the RTITraq from an authorized number will disconnect the call and respond with real-
time latitude and longitude information.
When GPS signals are weak, the SMS message will report the last position where the tracker
received a valid location. If it is different from the exact current location, note the time included in
the received SMS message.

Get Location in Absolute Street Address
You must set up the APN of your local GSM network for the SIM card in the RTITraq before
using this function. If there is a user name and password established for GPRS login, please
refer to 5.27 and 5.28 to configure the APN, user name and password for GPRS login.
Command: address+password
Reply: (real street address and name)
Example: 12 Main Street, Anytown U.S.A. 00000
Location-Based Service (LBS)
When the RTITraq can't receive valid GPS signals, it will report positions by location-based
service(LBS). The messages include the GPS coordinates of the last position in SMS mode, but
the LAC (Location Area Code) in the message will be the current new position. The location can
be seen by inputting the LAC code in the menu “Manual Track” of the web platform
www.gpstrackerxy.com. You can also send the command “address+password” to tracker to get
the newest absolute address and GPS coordinates as well. RTITraq will automatically switch to
track by location- based service in GPRS mode, and displayed on the map of web server with
LBS mark. There may be some discrepencies with actual location by LBS tracking; the precision
depends on GSM reception. Note: This feature can be used normally in most areas, depending
on the signal strength of your GSM network. It may not be available in all areas.
