1. BEFORE GETTING STARTED
1.1 General information
1. The operation and positioning accuracy of the Global Positioning System, GPS, is
maintained by the Defense Department of the United States of America. Based on its
public policy and national security, the US government reserves the right to alter the GPS
system and its accuracy without forewarning.
2. As with other GSM mobiles, the electric magnetic wave may affect the functioning of
medical instruments. If you wear heart-rate monitor, do not position the tracker in front of
the chest. It is best to keep a distance of at least 6 inches between the tracker and the
monitor. When close to other medical instruments, turn the tracker off.
3. Although the mini tracker has undergone several safety tests and conforms to a number of
national security standards, using the device could become risky in certain abnormal
climatic or seismic conditions without correct operation. Please read the manual carefully
before operating the device.
4. For your safety, when aboard on an aircraft, please turn off mini tracker.
5. In restricted areas such as gas stations or in the vicinity of explosives, please shut down
the mini tracker. Under no conditions should you use the mini tracker near fuel or
flammable materials.
6. As the mini tracker is not water-proof, make sure to take appropriate precautions in humid
or rainy weather and keep it dry at all times.
7. Before connecting any other device to the tracker, please read detailed instructions in the
user manual. To avoid any possible damage do not connect the mini tracker to any
incompatible product.
8. It is normal for the mini tracker to become warm during operation.
9. A different network setup, various makes of SIM card, and different modes of operation
could be the cause of varying rates of in the tracker's power consumption.
10. Mini tracker is GSM 850/900/1800/1900 and GPRS ready. Before using the device you
should purchase an SIM card from a local telecommunication service provider. This
service should include at least an internet connection, voice communication, and short
message service.

1.2 Tracker Battery Safety Notices
Failing to use the battery correctly could be hazardous. Please pay attention to the following.
1. Your mini tracker is powered by a rechargeable battery that can be frequently charged and
discharged. When the device's talk time and standby time becomes shorter than normal, it
is time to replace the battery.
2. Do not apply any steel tools or any other hard objects to the tracker and avoid stepping on it.
Any of the latter could cause battery leakage with adverse results.
3. Do not heat the tracker or place it close to the source of fire, a stove, or any heated
environment over 80℃; Short circuiting could result in smoke emission or a fire.
4. Do not place the tracker in a damp or humid place. This could also cause short circuiting,
smoke and eventually fire.
5. Charge the battery in normal temperature conditions. Avoid direct exposure to the sun,
stove, or any other environment where the temperature exceeds 80℃. Follow the manual
for proper battery charging procedure and pay close attention while this takes place.
6. If the battery is charged in an abnormal environment the battery protection device will fail.
An adverse chemical reaction will result as well as a potentially hazardous surge in
electrical current.
7. Turn off device power before Charging. Charging the battery for longer than the
recommended charging time will shorten battery life. If the battery does not fully charge in
the set time, stop charging immediately to avoid fire.
1.3 Possible Additional Fee
1. Position request and position response sent by SMS will be charged.
2. View Tracker’s position from Google map operation may be charged according to GPRS
data quantity transferred.
1.4 About GPS
1. GPS signals are incapable of penetrating solid objects that are non-transparent. The
signals will be also affected by surface cover such as tall buildings, tunnels, elevated
expressways, forests etc., or weather conditions such as overcast and rain. If the vehicle
is poorly insulated against heat and contains metal parts, GPS signals will not be able to
penetrate.
2. All wireless communication devices such as cell phones, or traffic police speed detectors
can interfere with the reception of GPS signals and results in unstable signals.

3. To get position fix successfully, please hold Strap Hole upside for better signal
orientation.
4. There is no guaranty that SOS message will be successfully sent at distressed
environment where GPS or GSM signals are weak.
1.5 ABOUT SIM Card PIN CODE & GPRS
Notice: SIM PIN should be unlocked before being inserted into the device. SIM PIN can
be disabled through ordinary cell phone.
1. GPRS function of SIM card in MT-900M is NOT Necessary enabled for normal
operation; but SMS function should be always enabled.
2. If SIM lock is enabled and password is incorrect, power on/off device three times will make
the SIM card locked permanently. Only PUK code can unlock the SIM in such case. (The
default PIN code in SIM Card may be “0000”.)
3. If the SIM card is not inserted or SIM card is invalid, AGPS positioning function will be
disabled.

the GPS signal search function to save power (we called it get into sleep mode). If the
tracker is doing report activity and can not get fixed GPS Position, it will report a possible
range estimated from nearest cell phone base station.
The tracker's G-sensor senses movement of the device. When stationary the tracker
retains the last recorded GPS information and then temporarily closes the GPS function.
The GPS function is re-activated when the tracker moves again.
4.2.3 Calling for Help in an Emergency
In an emergency situation, press and hold the SOS (Panic) button for 3 seconds to
activate the device to perform the emergency notification and followed the pre-defined
setting.
The tracker will first send an SOS message with the location data to all listed names in
the phonebook.
The tracker’s SOS message format is as following:
SOS:MINI_T01,054038,090810,xxx-VV-x,017.0,297.4:http://60.251.201.251/cellid.php?hl
=en&net=1&address=0&ci=aa24&la=0dc0&mc=466&mn=92
You can select above underlined text-strings (http://...) and copy it to your Internet
browser (IE, Chrome or FireFox ) to get the coordinate, then paste the coordinate into
Google map, you can locate the tracker on the map.
The other way, users can select above underlined text-strings (http://...) and hyperlink it
to Internet, with Internet browser (e.g. IE, Chrome or FireFox )you can see the tracker’s
location on Google map.(The operation method will vary depends on each cell phone’s
software design, please refer to your cell phone’s user manual)
4.2.4 Position Report Types
Before you start to track your Mini Tracker, please make sure your Cell phone have
internet connection capability (GPRS, 3G, 3.5G or Wi-Fi enabled). Basically mini tracker’s
SIM card support only SMS function is enough for all types of the current location report
activities.
When we use SMS to inquiry mini tracker’s location or mini tracker reports its location
automatically , there are 3 types of report formats will be performed by GPS status and user
application conditions.
(1).Report address
When you send Inquire Current Location SMS (*gpsinq#) to mini tracker, mini tracker will
reply an URL to your cell phone; you can click this URL to get the address of current location
(eg. No. 251, ChéngGōng 6th St, Jhubei City Hsinchu County, Taiwan 302) to show on your

cell phone.
(2).Report location on Google Map
When you send Inquire Current Location SMS(*gpsinq#) to mini tracker, mini tracker will
reply an URL to your cell phone, you can hyper link this URL to internet , then you will see the
location and the address on the Google map from the internet browser.
(3). Report Cellular ID positioning
When you send Inquire Current Location SMS(*gpsinq#) to mini tracker, if mini tracker can
not get fixed GPS Position, mini tracker will send back an URL to your cell phone , you can
hyper link this URL and connect with internet, it will let you log on the server to get possible
range related to nearest cell phone base station, then you will see the possible range on the
Google map from the internet browser
Note:
If your cell phone does not support JAVA, you may see a location mark only instead
of a Graphical range, the range is shown by text format.
The precision of Cellular ID positioning will depend on Operators’ Cellular Base
station distribution. If the Base Station is far from you, the range will not be so
precise.
