GPS Features:
The SuperGuard Personal Tracker employs an advanced tracking
system, which helps you determine your location, enable preset
contacts to track your position any time, and place SOS calls in case of
emergency.
The Personal Tracker is easy to configure over Internet or GPRS
enabled cell phones, user-friendly, and especially convenient for
monitoring children, elderly and business travelers.
Global Positioning System (GPS) is a global radio navigation system,
which consists of 24 MEO satellites and stations on the earth. A GPS
receiver built in the device calculates your location and altitude via the
signal from satellite. Based on triangulation of signals of at least three
of the satellites, it applies a “Pseudoranging” technique to calculate the
transmission time of the radio signal from the satellite in order to
measure the distance of each satellite, and then pinpoint the current
location.
GPS Satellites emit two types of radio signals, “C/A”
(Coarse/Acquisition) and “P” (Precision). The latter one is preserved
for military use and requires decryption. Like other commercial GPS
appliances, the Personal tracker uses “C/A” signal to pinpoint location
and altitude. Likewise, the display accuracy of location will depend on
varied factors, which include time.
Please note that those variations are fundamental characteristics of
GPS, it doesn’t indicate any malfunction of the mini tracker.
The following situations may affect accuracy of GPS:
1. Narrow alley between tall buildings in built up area.
2. Indoors
3. Bad weather
4. Under shelter
5. In tunnels
6. Inside a car with metal heat insulation. (We suggest avoid use near metal heat
insulation while you are using the mini tracker in the car.)

3. Preparations
In order to use the Personal Tracker, the following preparations
should be carried out:
Prepare one operational GSM SIM card. Make sure that the SIM card
can operate without PIN protection (ask the GSM operator to do this).
Ask the GSM operator for the SMSC (SMS Service Center) number.
Empty the SMS storage of the SIM card using operational GSM phone
(please refer your GSM phone manual to do this).
1. Remove the back cover of the Personal
tracker by pressing down the rounded
edge of the battery release button and
push the cover downwards.
2. Insert the SIM card into the SIM slot in
the direction as shown in picture until it
is engaged.
(To remove the SIM card later, push it
in again to release)
3. Place the battery in the compartment.
4. Replace the cover and let it snap in
completely.
Closing the battery cover will automatically power up the device.
Removing the cover will disconnect the battery.

Provided that your device is positioned in an area with clear un-
obstructed view of the sky, the device will start scanning for GPS
satellites to obtain its first GPS lock. This first fix can take several
minutes.
To use all communication and tracking features of the device, some
mandatory setup parameters need to be configured from the Control
Base software or Tracking Websites before it is able to operate
properly. Please refer to your Tracking Web or software guide to do
the account and device configurations.
After setting up a user account at the Control Base, please make sure
that all required SIM card details, SMS and GPRS dial-up
information and Contact numbers have been entered correctly, before
you send them through SMS initialization command to the device:
