  1. How to install app on my computer

    Beatrice Rudd asks How to install app on my computer
    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    How do I install the LKGPS app on my computer?

    Answer

    The LKGPS LK209 tracker does not have a dedicated desktop application for installation on a computer. Instead, you can monitor your device on a computer using the web-based tracking platform.

    To access your tracker from a computer:

    • Open your web browser and go to www.lkgps.net.
    • Log in using your device ID (found on the tracker label) and your password (default is 123456).

    If you specifically need an app, the manufacturer only provides mobile versions for Android (via QR code in the manual) and iOS (by searching "LKGPS" in the Apple App Store). For computer use, the web platform is the intended method.

    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    How do I add multiple LK209 GPS tracker units to the LKGPS app?

    Answer

    To manage multiple LK209 units on the LKGPS app or web platform, you typically need to create a "User Account" (also known as a fleet or group account) rather than logging in with an individual device ID. Here is how to proceed:

    • Contact Support/Dealer: Most LKGPS systems require the distributor or manufacturer to create a group account for you. You should contact the seller or the support contact for www.lkgps.net and provide them with the ID numbers of all three units. They can then link these IDs to a single username and password.
    • App Login: Once your group account is created, open the LKGPS app (available on the App Store or via the QR code in the manual) and switch the login mode from "ID Login" to "User Login." Enter your group credentials to see all vehicles on one map.
    • Web Platform: You can also manage multiple units by visiting http://www.lkgps.net and logging in with your user account.

    If you are setting these up for the first time, ensure each unit has been initialized with the GPRS commands mentioned in the manual (Step 5.3), specifically setting the APN and the admin IP (adminip123456 101.1.16.228 7700) so they can communicate with the server.

    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    How do I create an account in the LKGPS app to connect multiple devices?

    Answer

    To connect and manage multiple LKGPS LK209 devices under one account, you typically use the device's unique ID code for the initial login. Follow these steps based on the manual:

    • Download the App: Search for LKGPS in the iOS App Store or scan the QR code provided in the manual for the Android version.
    • Identify Your Device ID: Locate the ID code on your device (e.g., ID:4102000759). This ID is used to connect to the tracking website or app.
    • Access the Platform: You can log in via the app or the web platform at www.lkgps.net.
    • Account Creation/Grouping: While the manual focuses on individual device login using the ID and default password (123456), managing multiple devices usually requires a "User Account" rather than an "ID Login." If the app does not provide a direct 'Sign Up' button for a master account, you may need to contact your dealer or the platform administrator to create a username and group all your device IDs under that single account.

    Note: Before the app can track the device, ensure you have configured the GPRS settings by sending the following SMS commands to the tracker's SIM card: adminip123456 101.1.16.228 7700 and gprs123456.

    Question

    How do I fix the 'logged off' status in the LKGPS application for my LK209 tracker?

    Answer

    If your LK209 GPS tracker shows as "logged off" in the application, it usually means the device has not successfully established a GPRS data connection with the server. To fix this, you must configure the APN (Access Point Name) and enable GPRS via SMS commands.

    Follow these steps using your mobile phone to send SMS commands to the SIM card number inside the tracker (the default password is 123456):

    1. Set the Admin Number: Send admin123456 [your phone number] (e.g., admin123456 1234567890).
    2. Configure the APN: You must provide the APN specific to your SIM card provider. Send apn123456 [local apn] (e.g., apn123456 internet).
    3. Set the Server IP and Port: Send adminip123456 101.1.16.228 7700.
    4. Enable GPRS: Send gprs123456.

    Additional Troubleshooting:

    • Ensure the SIM card has an active data plan and is not locked by a PIN code.
    • Make sure the device is turned ON and has a clear view of the sky to acquire a GPS signal.
    • Check the indicator light: it should flash every 3 seconds when it has a signal.
    • If the device is in "Sleep Mode," it may appear offline. You can disable sleep mode by sending nosleep123456.

    Question

    How do I remove or resize the vehicle picture on the LKGPS tracking website?

    Answer

    The LKGPS LK209 manual focuses primarily on SMS commands and hardware setup, and does not provide specific instructions for managing UI elements like vehicle images on the web platform (www.lkgps.net).

    Based on your description of the "Target" section in the top-left panel, here are some troubleshooting steps to try on the website:

    • Clear Browser Cache: Sometimes the web interface retains old scaling settings. Clear your browser's cache and refresh the page after changing the size to 1x1.
    • Default Icon Selection: Instead of trying to resize a custom picture, look for a "Default" or "Standard" icon option within the Target settings. Often, selecting a standard arrow or dot icon will remove the custom image overlay.
    • Check the Mobile App: If the website interface is unresponsive to changes, try logging into the LKGPS App (available on iOS and Android). Changes made to the device profile in the app sometimes sync more effectively to the web server.
    • Contact Platform Support: Since the website www.lkgps.net is managed by the manufacturer's server, if the "Target" panel settings are not applying correctly, it may be a server-side display bug that requires their technical support to reset your profile.

    Question

    How do I activate the LK209C GPS tracker for use with the mobile application when it only responds to SMS?

    Answer

    If your LK209C tracker responds to SMS but appears as "not activated" in the app, it usually means the GPRS data connection has not been initialized. To activate the device for the application, you must send a series of SMS commands to configure the APN (Access Point Name) and the server connection.

    Follow these steps (assuming the default password is 123456):

    1. Set the APN: Send apn123456 [your_local_apn]. Replace [your_local_apn] with the APN provided by your SIM card carrier (e.g., apn123456 cmnet). The device should reply "apn ok".
    2. Set the Server IP and Port: Send adminip123456 101.1.16.228 7700. The device should reply "adminip ok".
    3. Enable GPRS: Send gprs123456. This command triggers the data connection required for the app to see the device online.

    Once these commands are sent, ensure the device is outdoors with a clear view of the sky. It may take a few minutes for the status in the LKGPS app to update from "not activated" to "online". If it still fails, verify that your SIM card has an active data plan and that the PIN code is disabled.

    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    How do I get my LK209 GPS tracker back online after topping up the SIM card credit?

    Answer

    When a GPS tracker remains offline after a credit top-up, it often needs to re-establish its GPRS connection. Follow these steps to bring your LK209 back online:

    • Check Signal: Ensure the device is outdoors with a clear view of the sky. The indicator should flash every 3 seconds when it has acquired GSM and GPS signals.
    • Re-enable GPRS: Send the SMS command gprs123456 (replace 123456 with your password if changed) to the device. This forces the unit to start the GPRS service.
    • Verify APN Settings: If the SIM was inactive for a while, the APN settings might need to be refreshed. Send apn123456 [your_local_apn] (e.g., apn123456 cmnet). You can find your specific APN by contacting your SIM card provider.
    • Check Sleep Mode: If the device is in a forced sleep mode, it may not be communicating. Send nosleep123456 to ensure it is active.
    • Re-initialize: If the above steps fail, you can try to restart the connection process by sending begin123456. Note: This will reset settings to factory defaults.

    If the device still shows as offline in the app or web platform, try sending the command G123456# or where to see if the device replies with a location via SMS. If it replies via SMS but is offline in the app, the issue is specifically with the GPRS/APN settings.

    Question

    How do I stop the LK209 GPS tracker from calling my phone number repeatedly?

    Answer

    The LK209 GPS tracker may be calling your number due to active alarm settings such as the Dropped Alarm, Movement Alert, or Shock Alert. To stop these calls, you can try deactivating these specific features by sending the following SMS commands to the tracker (assuming the default password is 123456):

    • To cancel Movement Alert: Send nomove123456. This stops the device from alerting you when it detects movement.
    • To cancel Shock Alert: Send noshock123456. This stops alerts triggered by vibrations or impacts.
    • To cancel Overspeed Alert: Send nospeed123456.
    • To cancel Geo-fence: Send nostockade123456.

    If you are unsure which alarm is triggered, you can perform a full reset to factory settings by sending the command begin123456. This will initialize all settings and should stop the automated calls, though you will need to re-configure your admin number and GPRS settings afterward.

    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    Why is the green light on my LKGPS LK209 tracker constantly on and the device not working?

    Answer

    According to the LKGPS LK209 manual, the behavior of the indicator light is a key diagnostic tool. A constant light usually indicates the device is searching for a signal or initializing.

    • Signal Acquisition: When you first turn the unit on outdoors, the indicator will stay on while it searches for GSM and GPS signals. This can take between 10 to 40 seconds. Once it successfully receives signals, the indicator should change from being constantly on to flashing every 3 seconds.
    • Outdoor Testing: If the green light stays on indefinitely, ensure the device is outdoors with a clear view of the sky. GPS trackers often fail to acquire a signal inside buildings or under heavy cover.
    • SIM Card Check: Ensure the GSM SIM card is correctly inserted and has an active data plan. The device requires a valid GSM network connection to function.
    • Initialization: If the device remains unresponsive, you can try to reset it by sending the SMS command begin123456 (where 123456 is the default password) to the tracker's phone number.

    Question

    How can I recover or reset my password if I have forgotten it?

    Answer

    According to the LKGPS LK209 manual, if you have forgotten your custom password, you must upload the software to restore the original settings. The manual notes that you should keep your new password in mind because this recovery process is required to revert to the default state.

    If you have not yet changed the password, the default password for the device is 123456.

    If you still have access via an authorized admin number, you can try to reset the device to factory settings by sending the SMS command: format or begin123456 (using the default password). If successful, the unit will reply "begin ok" and all settings, including the password, will be initialized to factory defaults.

    Question

    How do I fix the LK209 GPS tracker showing as disabled in the app and how do I log in?

    Answer

    If your LK209 GPS tracker shows as "disabled" or offline in the app, it usually means the GPRS data connection has not been properly configured or the device is in sleep mode. Follow these steps to get the device online:

    • Check Login Credentials: To log in to the LKGPS app (available on iOS and Android) or the web platform at www.lkgps.net, use the ID code found on the device sticker as the username and the default password 123456.
    • Configure APN: The tracker needs to know your SIM card's APN to access the internet. Send an SMS to the tracker's phone number: apn123456 [your_local_apn] (replace [your_local_apn] with the APN provided by your mobile carrier).
    • Set Server IP: Ensure the tracker is pointing to the correct server by sending: adminip123456 101.1.16.228 7700.
    • Enable GPRS: Send the command gprs123456 to activate data transmission.
    • Check Sleep Mode: If the device has been immobile for over 10 minutes, it enters sleep mode to save power. Move the device or send nosleep123456 to wake it up and force GPRS to stay active.
    • Signal Check: Ensure the device is outdoors. The indicator light should flash every 3 seconds when it has a valid signal.

    Question

    Why is my LK209 GPS tracker showing as offline even though it is fully charged?

    Answer

    If your LK209 unit is charged but showing as offline, it is likely failing to connect to the GSM network or GPRS data service. Please check the following steps to bring it back online:

    • Check the SIM Card: Ensure the SIM card is correctly inserted, has an active data plan, and that the PIN code is disabled.
    • Signal Strength: Move the device outdoors. The tracker needs a clear view of the sky to acquire GPS signals and a strong cellular connection to report its status.
    • GPRS Activation: The device must have GPRS enabled to appear online in the app or web platform. Send the SMS command gprs123456 (replace 123456 with your password if changed) to the tracker.
    • APN Settings: The tracker needs to know your mobile carrier's Access Point Name (APN). Send the command: apn123456 [your local APN]. For example, if using China Mobile, you would send apn123456 cmnet.
    • Admin IP: Ensure the tracker is pointing to the correct server by sending: adminip123456 101.1.16.228 7700.
    • Sleep Mode: If the unit has been immobile for over 10 minutes, it may have entered sleep mode to save power. It should wake up and go back online once it detects movement.

    You can verify the current status by calling the device; if it hangs up and sends you a Google Maps link via SMS, the GSM portion is working, and the issue is strictly with your GPRS/APN settings.

    Question

    How do I reconfigure my LK209 GPS tracker if it says it has expired and no longer shows the location?

    Answer

    If your LK209 GPS tracker is reporting as "expired" on the app or web platform, it usually refers to the service subscription for the tracking platform (www.lkgps.net) rather than the SIM card balance. However, you can still verify and reconfigure the device's connection by following these steps:

    • Check GPRS Connection: Ensure the device is still communicating with the server. Send the SMS command: GPRS123456 (where 123456 is the default password) to the tracker.
    • Re-set the APN: If the settings were lost, you must set the APN for your specific mobile provider. Send: apn123456 [your_local_apn]. For example, if using China Mobile, you would send apn123456 cmnet.
    • Verify Server Settings: Ensure the tracker is pointing to the correct server by sending: adminip123456 101.1.16.228 7700.
    • Check GPS Signal: Take the device outdoors. Send the command where to the device. If it replies with a Google Maps link and the coordinates are current, the hardware is working, and the "expired" message is strictly related to your software account.
    • Account Renewal: If the hardware is working but the app says "expired," you may need to contact the seller or the platform provider (LKGPS) to renew the IMEI's access to the tracking server.

    If you wish to start over completely, you can restore factory settings by sending the SMS command: begin123456.

    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    How do I fix the 'apn sms password error' when setting up my LK209 GPS tracker?

    Answer

    The "apn sms password error" typically occurs because of a formatting mistake in the SMS command. To fix this, please ensure you are following these specific rules from the manual:

    • Check for Spaces: The command must include a space between the password and the APN name. The correct format is: apn123456 [space] your_local_apn. For example: apn123456 cmnet.
    • Verify the Password: If you have previously changed your password from the default "123456", you must use your new 6-digit password in the command.
    • No Plus Signs: Do not include the "+" symbol in your text message; it is only used in the manual to indicate that components are joined together.
    • Reset if Necessary: If you are unsure of your password, you can try to reset the device to factory settings by sending the command begin123456 (this will restore the default password to 123456).

    If you continue to receive an error, double-check with your mobile provider that you have the correct APN name for your specific SIM card.

    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    Why is my LK209 GPS tracker showing 'arrears' and appearing offline even though my SIM card has data and credit?

    Answer

    The "arrears" message typically indicates that the tracking platform (app or website) believes the service subscription for that specific device ID has expired, which is separate from your SIM card's data plan. Here are the steps to troubleshoot and resolve the offline status:

    • Check Platform Subscription: Log in to the tracking website (www.lkgps.net) or the LKGPS app. The "arrears" status usually refers to the renewal fee for the tracking service itself. You may need to contact your vendor to renew the device's service life.
    • Verify GPRS Connection: Even if your SIM has data, the tracker must be correctly configured to use it. Ensure GPRS is active by sending the SMS command: gprs123456 (assuming 123456 is your password).
    • Check APN Settings: If the device is offline, it may have lost its Access Point Name (APN) settings. Send the command: apn123456 [your_local_apn]. For example, if your provider's APN is 'internet', send apn123456 internet.
    • Check Admin IP: Ensure the device is pointing to the correct server by sending: adminip123456 101.1.16.228 7700.
    • Signal Check: Ensure the device is outdoors. The indicator should flash every 3 seconds if it has a valid GSM and GPS signal.

    If the SIM card is definitely active and the APN is set, the "arrears" message is almost certainly a platform-side expiration that requires renewal through the seller or the LKGPS service provider.

    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    How do I troubleshoot setup issues and inconsistent SMS responses with the LK209 GPS tracker?

    Answer

    If your LK209 GPS tracker is responding inconsistently to text messages, it is often due to authorization settings or incorrect command formatting. Follow these steps to ensure the device is set up correctly:

    • Check Authorization: If you have set an authorized (admin) number, the device will only respond to that specific number. To set or reset your admin number, send: admin123456 [your phone number] (replace 123456 with your password if changed).
    • Verify Command Format: Ensure you are using the correct syntax. Do not include the "+" symbol shown in manual examples; use a space instead. For example, use admin123456 1234567890 rather than admin123456+1234567890.
    • Signal and Environment: The tracker requires a clear view of the sky to acquire GPS signals. If the device is indoors, it may fail to respond with location data. Ensure the indicator light is flashing every 3 seconds, indicating it has received a signal.
    • SIM Card Requirements: Ensure the SIM card has credit, is active on a GSM network, and that the PIN code request is disabled.
    • Reset the Device: If the device remains unresponsive, you can restore factory settings by sending the SMS command: begin123456. This will initialize all settings to default.

    For GPRS/App tracking, remember you must also configure the APN by sending: apn123456 [local apn name].

    Question

    How do I enable GPRS and fix tracking issues in the LKGPS application?

    Answer

    To enable GPRS and ensure your LK209 tracker connects to the application, you must configure the APN, IP, and GPRS settings via SMS commands. Please follow these steps using your mobile phone to send messages to the SIM card number inside the tracker:

    1. Set the APN: Send apn123456 [your local APN] (Replace '[your local APN]' with the APN provided by your SIM card carrier, e.g., apn123456 cmnet). The device should reply "apn ok".
    2. Set the Server IP and Port: Send adminip123456 101.1.16.228 7700. The device should reply "adminip ok".
    3. Enable GPRS: Send gprs123456. This command activates the data connection required for the app.
    4. Check Sleep Mode: If the device is in forced sleep mode, GPRS may be disabled. Send nosleep123456 to ensure the device stays active.

    Note: Ensure the SIM card has an active data plan, is not locked by a PIN code, and that the device is outdoors to acquire a GPS signal. Once configured, use the ID code on the device label to log into the LKGPS app or www.lkgps.net.

    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    Why am I receiving an 'sms password error' when sending the gprs123456 command, and why is my LK209 tracker offline with no GPS signal?

    Answer

    The "sms password error" indicates that the tracker does not recognize "123456" as the current password. This can happen if the password was changed or if the command format is incorrect. Additionally, the device being offline with no signal suggests it hasn't successfully connected to the GPRS network or acquired a satellite fix.

    To resolve the password error:

    • Ensure there is no space between the command and the password (e.g., gprs123456).
    • If you or a previous owner changed the password, you must use that 6-digit code instead of 123456.
    • If you have forgotten the password, you can try to reset the device to factory defaults by sending the SMS command format (note: this usually requires being sent from an authorized admin number). Alternatively, try sending begin123456 to initialize the settings.

    To resolve the 'Offline/No Signal' issue:

    • GPS Signal: The tracker must be outdoors with a clear view of the sky to acquire a GPS signal for the first time. It can take 10 to 40 seconds to find satellites.
    • GPRS/Online Status: For the tracker to appear online in the app/web platform, you must configure the APN (Access Point Name) for your specific SIM card provider. Send the command: apn123456 [space] [your local APN name].
    • Admin IP: Ensure the tracker is pointing to the correct server by sending: adminip123456 101.1.16.228 7700.
    • Check SIM: Ensure the SIM card has an active data plan, is correctly inserted, and the PIN code request is disabled.

    Question

    How do I recover my account and password for the LKGPS app after deleting it?

    Answer

    To regain access to your LKGPS device on the app, you will need your device's unique ID and the password. Please follow these steps:

    • Identify your ID: You can find the ID code on a sticker on the device itself. If the sticker is missing, send an SMS with the command where to the phone number of the SIM card inside the tracker; the device should reply with a message containing its 10-digit ID.
    • Default Password: The default password for LKGPS devices is typically 123456.
    • Resetting the Password: If you changed the password and forgot it, you can reset the device to factory settings by sending an SMS command begin123456 (replace 123456 with the default if that was not it) or format to the device. This will restore the default password to 123456.
    • App Login: Re-download the "LKGPS" app from the App Store or Google Play. Select the "Login by ID" option, enter your 10-digit ID, and use the password (default 123456).

    If you are unable to log in because the account was tied to a specific username you created rather than the ID, you may need to contact the seller or the platform administrator at www.lkgps.net to have your account or password manually reset.

    Why is there no reply when I send the 'where' command to the LK209 GPS tracker? Is the battery dead?

    Answer

    There are several reasons why your LK209 GPS tracker might not be replying to the where command:

    • Battery Status: If the battery is dead, the device cannot respond. Check the LED indicators; the unit should flash every 3 seconds when it has a signal. Note that the tracker sends a bat:l SMS alert when the battery drops to approximately 3.7V.
    • Authorization Restrictions: According to section 5.6.1 of the manual, if an authorized number (admin) has been set, the tracker will not respond to any unauthorized numbers. Ensure you are sending the command from the registered admin phone.
    • Signal Issues: The device needs a valid GSM signal to send SMS replies. If the unit is indoors or in an area with poor reception, it may fail to respond.
    • SIM Card Credit/Status: Ensure the SIM card inside the tracker has sufficient credit to send outgoing SMS and that it is correctly inserted.
    • Sleep Mode: The device enters a sleep mode after 10 minutes of inactivity to save power. While it should wake up upon receiving a command, a complete lack of response might indicate it is not waking up or has no network connection in its current location.

    Recommendation: Try calling the device. If it is powered on and has a signal, it should hang up and reply with a Google Maps link. If it goes straight to voicemail, the device is likely powered off or out of signal range.

    How do I reset my password if I have forgotten it?

    Answer

    According to the LK209 user manual, if you have forgotten your custom password, you must upload the software to restore the original settings. This typically requires contacting the manufacturer or your dealer for technical assistance, as it is not a simple SMS command.

    However, if you are trying to return the device to its factory state and the password has not been changed from the default, you can try the following:

    • Default Password: The factory default password is 123456.
    • Initialization Command: Send an SMS with begin123456 to the tracker. If successful, it will reply "begin ok" and reset all settings.
    • Format Command: You can also try sending format from an authorized admin number to restore factory settings.

    Note: If you changed the password and forgot it, the manual states that software re-uploading is the only way to restore access.

    How can I display multiple LK209 GPS trackers simultaneously in one app?

    Answer

    To display multiple LK209 devices simultaneously in the LKGPS app, you generally need to log in using a User Account rather than an individual Device ID. Here is how to set this up:

    • Contact your distributor: By default, users often log in with the ID number found on the device sticker. To see multiple devices, you must contact the seller or manufacturer to request the creation of a "User Account" (Fleet Account).
    • Provide Device IDs: Provide the distributor with the ID numbers of all the trackers you wish to group together.
    • App Login: Once the account is created, open the LKGPS app (available on iOS and Android) and switch the login mode from "ID Login" to "Account Login."
    • Simultaneous Viewing: After logging in with your new username and password, all registered devices will appear on the map at the same time.

    If you are using the web platform at www.lkgps.net, the process is the same; use the "Account" login option instead of "ID" to manage your fleet.
