Operating Instructions

1. Real-time Tracking

You can locate the tracker by calling its SIM phone number or sending a text message. The unit will respond with an SMS text message containing a Google Maps link to its current location. For continuous online tracking, use the dedicated mobile application or web platform after setting up GPRS and APN.

2. History Route Playback

The tracking platform allows you to view the historical movement routes of the device. This feature is accessible through the mobile application or web interface.

4. Electric Fence

Set up virtual geographic boundaries (geofences) through the tracking platform. You will receive alerts if the tracker enters or exits these predefined areas.

5. Remote Cut Oil/Electric

This feature allows for remote control over the vehicle's oil or electric supply, providing an additional layer of security. Use this function responsibly and only when necessary.

Maintenance

  • Keep the device dry. Moisture can damage internal circuits.
  • Avoid extreme temperatures.
  • Do not attempt to open or modify the device, as this will void the warranty.
  • Ensure the SIM card is active and has sufficient credit/data for continuous operation.
  • Regularly check wiring connections for security and integrity.

Troubleshooting

  • No Signal/Offline: Check SIM card installation, ensure 2G network coverage, and verify SIM card is active with data.
  • Inaccurate Location: Ensure the device has a clear view of the sky for GPS signal. If indoors or in dense areas, LBS (Location Based Service) may be used, which is less precise.
  • Device Not Powering On: Verify power connections to the vehicle battery and ACC line. Check the fuse in the wiring harness.
  • No SMS Response: Check if the SIM card has credit for sending SMS. Ensure the correct phone number is being called/messaged.
  • APP/Web Platform Issues: Confirm APN settings are correct. Check internet connectivity on your phone/computer.
