3.2 Device Installation

The MV33G features a compact, plug-and-play design for convenient installation into your vehicle's OBD2 port. Its small size allows for easy hiding.

The MV33G is applicable to most cars in the market with an OBD2 interface.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Network Connectivity

The MV33G works with the latest 4G LTE network and can fall back to the 2G GSM network, ensuring high-speed data upload and stable performance. This eliminates concerns about 2G network shutdowns.

4.2 Tracking Platform and APP

The MiCODUS MV33G offers a free and practical tracking software accessible via web platform (www.micodus.net) and mobile APP (iOS & Android). This platform provides:

• LIFETIME FREE usage.
• Integrated Google Map with global coverage.
• Ability to manage multiple devices via a single, unlimited account.
• Option to apply for a free dealer account and create sub-accounts without restriction.

4.3 Real-time Tracking

You can track your vehicle in real-time on Google Maps using a cellphone, tablet, or computer. The position updates every 10 seconds, providing current location information.

4.4 Multiple Tracking Methods

The device utilizes GPS, GLONASS, and BDS for precise positioning. When satellite signals are strong, accuracy can reach 5 meters. In areas with poor or no satellite signals (e.g., underground garages), the device uses LBS (Location Based Service) via base stations, with an accuracy of 100-2000 meters.

4.5 Historical Route Playback

The server stores historical position data for up to 180 days, allowing you to review past routes and driving patterns.

4.6 Voice Monitor

If needed, you can dial the SIM number of the device to remotely monitor the voice around your car.

4.7 Anti-theft Alarms

The MV33G provides multiple anti-theft alarms to enhance vehicle security:

• Vibration Alarm: Alerts you if the vehicle experiences unusual vibrations.
• Geo-fence Alarm: Notifies you if the vehicle enters or exits a predefined geographical area.
• Displacement Alarm: Alerts you if the vehicle moves from its parked location.
• Pull Out Alarm: Triggers an alert if the device is unplugged from the OBD port.

4.8 Overspeed Alarm

Set a maximum speed limit, and the device will send an alarm message if the vehicle exceeds this speed, helping to promote safe driving habits.

4.9 Battery Detection and Alarm

The MV33G can read and display your car's battery voltage. If the voltage drops below a preset value, the device will send an alarm message, preventing unexpected battery drain.

5. Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your MiCODUS MV33G GPS Tracker:

• Keep the device clean and free from dust and moisture.
• Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
• Ensure the OBD port connection is secure.
• Regularly check your SIM card data balance and recharge as needed to maintain continuous tracking.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Device Not Going Online / No Tracking Data

• Check SIM Card: Ensure the SIM card is correctly installed and has sufficient data balance.
• Network Compatibility: Verify that your SIM card is compatible with 4G LTE and 2G GSM networks in your region.
• APN Settings: Incorrect APN settings can prevent the device from connecting to the network. If using a local SIM, you may need to configure the APN manually via SMS commands (refer to advanced user guide or contact support). Spionlink SIMs are pre-configured.
• Power Supply: Ensure the device is securely plugged into the OBD port and receiving power (vehicle ignition may need to be on).
• Initial Connection Time: Allow 5-8 minutes for the device to establish an initial connection after installation.

6.2 Inaccurate Positioning

• Satellite Signal: GPS/GLONASS/BDS accuracy is best with clear sky view. In enclosed areas (e.g., tunnels, underground parking), the device may switch to LBS, which has lower accuracy (100-2000m).
• Device Placement: Ensure the device is not obstructed by metal objects or other electronics that could interfere with GPS signals.

6.3 Alarms Not Functioning

• Configuration: Ensure all alarm settings (e.g., geo-fence boundaries, speed limits) are correctly configured in the tracking platform or APP.
• Notifications: Check your APP notification settings and phone's notification permissions to ensure alarms are received.
