1.3.6. LEDs
LOOK’ET has three LEDs for indicating operation status.
LED name Mark Description
Battery LED
It indicates the battery status.
In boot stage after power on, it blinks 4 times with 1 second period indicating boot
completion. If the boot stage has some error, it blinks forever.
After boot stage, It blinks if the battery voltage level is under 3.6V else on.
GPS LED
It indicates the GPS sync status.
This LED is on if the GPS has detected and synced. But GPS does not have
synced and is under searching sync, this LED is blinked.
GSM/GPRS LED
It indicates the GSM Tx / Rx status.
In boot stage after power on, it blinks 4 times with 1 second period indicating boot
completion. If the boot stage has some error, it blinks forever.
After boot stage,this LED is on when the GSM Tx or Rx operation is executed. LED
is off when LOOK’ET is in Idle mode.

1.4 LOOK’ET basic operation scheme
LOOK’ET has several stages to debug status and operate in test mode.
User does not have to control this, but it is good to know to when the debugging command is valid.
1) Boot stage
After power on, Boot stage takes 25 seconds to check the flash memory status and user program updating request.
If the user want to upgrade LOOK’ET with the new binary file, it can be done in this time.
2)Application stage
After boot stage, application code will be executed. Application code waits 5 seconds to select the test mode before
initialization. If the user does not enter test mode value within 5 seconds, LOOK’ET proceeds the normal operation
mode. This test mode is just for the hardware testing so user does not have to enter this. After this, LOOK’ET does
initialization and waits in idle mode.
Consequently, user must waits the least 35 seconds after power on.

2. Security
It is important for the efficient and safe operation to read this information before use LOOK’ET.
This chapter contains important information for the safe and reliable use of the
LOOK’ET. Please read this chapter carefully before starting to use LOOK’ET.
(1) Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by incorrect type. dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
(2) To minimize the exposure to RF energy, It is recommended to place the antenna more than 20 centimeter from
human body.
(3) Turn your LOOK’ET modem device OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in the area instruct
you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using RF monitoring equipment.
(4) Turn your LOOK’ET device OFF in blasting area when any regulations posted in the area instruct you to do so.
(5) Turn your LOOK’ET device OFF before boarding any aircraft. Use it on the ground only with crew permission. Do
not use it in the air.
(6) Do not allow children to play with your LOOK;ET device. Children could hurt themselves or be damaged with
playing that.
(7) Turn your LOOK’ET device off when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Modem or its
accessories could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or
even death.
(8) The antenna shall be mounted in such a position that no part of the human body will
normally rest close to any part of the antenna. It is also recommended to use the
equipment not close to medical devices as for example hearing aids and pacemakers.
3. Safety standards
This GSM/GPS modem complies with all applicable RF safety standards.
The embedded GSM/GPRS/GPS modem meets the safety standards for RF receivers
and the standards and recommendations for the protection of public exposure to RF
electromagnetic energy established by government bodies and professional organizations, such as directives of the
European Community, in matters of radio frequency electromagnetic energy.

4. Basic startup and testing
The SOC LBS LOOK’ET has been made to make installation, testing and configuration simple. For vehicle
installation and testing for correct working after installation we recommend the installer to use a Notebook or Desktop
PC via USB 2.0 interface.
The program for debugging/controlling LOOK’ET is provided in view of both target side and network side.
DM(Diagnostic Monitor) is the target side program and CC(Control Center) is network side program for debugging
and controlling.
Before the LOOK’ET is installed, we recommend configuring the unit functions and setup using the LOOL’ET DM
program including setup configuration. The LOOK’ET has many functions that will allow the unit to operate for
different user applications including security and fleet management.
