• If using SMS, a SIM card with SMS, voice call, and caller ID enabled is required.

5.1 Mobile APP

Download APP: Scan the QR code below or search "BAANOOL IOT" on Google Play or App Store.

Register: Open the BAANOOL IOT app, register a new account, and log in. Choose "BAANOOL car" to enter the interface.

Bind Device: Click the 'Add Device' button on the home page and scan the IMEI number to bind a new device. The IMEI number is located on the side of the device. You can also manually enter the IMEI for binding.

Using Tracker: Under normal circumstances, the device automatically selects the APN, username, and password without manual setting. If the device remains offline after 3 minutes of binding, you may need to set the APN and username/password via Bluetooth or SMS (refer to sections 12.17 and 12.18). Once online, you can view and manage the device.

Access the web platform at www.baanooliot.com. Your login account name and password are the same as those used for the mobile app.

5.3 Positioning Strategy

You can select the working mode and positioning strategy via the positioning button. This allows for different reporting frequencies based on whether the device is stationary or moving. The movement trajectory will be displayed when the tracker moves.

5.3.1 Working Modes

5.3.2 Positioning Interval

Configure the time intervals for reporting location data when the device is still or in motion.

5.4 History Playback

You can view the historical driving routes through the APP by clicking the playback button.

6. Remote Immobilizing

The tracker allows for remote control over the vehicle's oil and power supply.

• Cut off oil and power (delayed mode): The command will be executed only after the vehicle speed is less than 20km/h.
• Cut off oil and power (immediately mode): The command will be executed immediately, regardless of vehicle speed.
• Resume oil and power: Restores fuel and power supply.

7. Arming and Disarming

• Arming: Activates the alarm system.
• Disarming: Deactivates the alarm system.
• Silent Arming: Activates the alarm system without audible siren, sending only notifications.

8. Alarm Functions

The GPS tracker provides various alarm functions to enhance vehicle security.

8.1 Alarms in Arming State

• Door Opening Alarm: Triggered when a door is opened while armed. The siren will beep for 20 seconds, with pauses if the door remains open. Disarming stops the alarm.
• ACC Alarm: Triggered if the vehicle ignition is turned "ON" or the vehicle is started directly while armed. The siren will beep for 20 seconds, with pauses if ignition remains on.
• Shock Alarm: Triggered when the device moves or vibrates while armed. The alarm is sent once within 3 minutes. The siren will beep for 5 seconds initially, then again for 5 seconds, and finally for 10 seconds. Vibration sensitivity can be adjusted (default level 2).

8.2 Other Alarm Functions

• Low Battery Alarm: Sent to authorized numbers twice at 15-minute intervals when the battery voltage drops to approximately 3.55V. Can be turned on/off.
• External Power Disconnection Alarm: Activated by default. Triggers an alarm if the external power supply is disconnected. Can be turned on/off.
• SOS Alarm: Pressing the SOS button for 3 seconds (or holding the remote control button for 3 seconds on B models) triggers an emergency alarm, sending alerts to authorized phone numbers.
• Geo-fence Alarm: Triggered when the device enters or leaves a predefined geographical area set up on the APP or platform.
• Movement Alarm: Triggered when the device moves outside a specified radius from its current position.
• Overspeed Alarm: Triggered when the vehicle speed exceeds a preset threshold.
• Fuel Alarm: Triggered if fuel consumption exceeds normal standards while running, or if there is fuel leakage/stealing when stopped. The siren will beep for 20 seconds. Fuel tank calibration (0% and 100%) is required for accurate readings.

9. Remotely Voice Monitor (Listen Function)

The device supports remote voice monitoring. Send an SMS command "monitor+password" to the unit. It will reply "monitor ok!" and switch to "monitor" mode. You can then dial the SIM number in the device, and it will automatically pick up your call, allowing you to monitor the voice around it. The default mode is "track" (positioning mode). To switch to listening mode, send "listen+password". To return to positioning mode, send "tracker+password".
