Shenzhen TOPFLYTECH Co., Limited. All Rights Reserved 8
6.1.2 Physical power off is recommended when the tracker is stored in the warehouse.
6.2 Motion operations
Device uses motion to detect different operations. Hold the tracker and keep the brand
label side towards the sky. Use normal speed to turn it over 180°(the brand label side
towards the ground) then recover. This can be called one-time standard turning. By
repeating the standard turning different times, the tracker will execute different operations:
6.2.1 Check the battery status
(1) It only works when physical power switch at on position
(2) Repeat the standard turning 3 times
6.2.2 Check the GNSS and network status
(1) It only works when physical power switch at on position
(2) Repeat the standard turning 4 times
6.2.3 Check the GNSS and network status
(1) It only works when physical power switch at on position
(2) Repeat the standard turning 4 times
6.2.4 Send SOS alarm
(1) It only works when physical power switch at on position.
(2) Customer has to enable the alarm first (alarm_set,0000,3,1,0,0,#)
(3) Repeat the standard turning 5 times
(4) If customer wants to disable the alarm, command is (alarm_set,0000,3,0,0,0,#)
6.2.5 Quick set/cancel the geofence
(1) It only works when physical power switch at on position.
(2) Customer has to enable the function by command gfence_en first
(3) gfence_en,0000,a,b# (a=0, disable; a=1, enable; b=1~65535, unit is meter)
(4) Set geofence: repeat the standard turning for 6 times then the GNSS light
will slowly flash at the beginning. Once the geofence is set successfully, the
GNSS light will stay on without flashing then goes out shortly
(5) Cancel geofence: after the geofence is set, repeat the standard turning for 6
times. The tracker GNSS light will fast flash at the beginning. Once the
geofence is cancelled successfully, the GNSS light will stay on without flashing
then goes out shortly.
6.2.6 Motion controlled power on or off
(1) It only works when physical power switch at on position.
(2) Motion controlled power off: Repeat the standard turning 7 times. The
tracker will power off. Customer can repeat other motion operation to verify.
(3) Repeat the standard turning 5 times
(4) Motion controlled power on: after power off, repeat the standard turning 7

times, then all the LED will be flashing. The tracker will power on.
6.3 The battery
6.3.1 Recommend connecting the device to a 5V 1A (cellphone) adaptor through
magnet USB cable for 10 hours charging to make sure the battery is fully charged.
6.3.2 Customer also can connect the tracker to other USB connectors. But lower current
output will cause longer charging time.
6.3.3 When the battery voltage value drops to 3.4V, usually a battery charging is
needed to avoid unexpected shutdown due to low power. If the battery runs out
completely, only when the battery is charged to 3.4V, the device will power on
again.
6.4 Get Current Position
6.4.1 SMS Query (only when the device in working mode and registered on the network)
Device default PIN is 0000. Send a location inquiry SMS command (google,0000#)
to the tracker. The location information will be sent back through SMS (the tracker
SIM card must support receiving and sending SMS first).
6.4.2 Platform Query
Connect your tracker to the tracking platform then check the real-time position
online. (Additional tracking service charge may happen. Contact with your service
provider to get more details)
