4. Operating Instructions
4.1. Powering On/Off
The device typically powers on automatically when a SIM card is inserted and it has power. There is no explicit power button.
- Power On: Insert a charged battery and a SIM card. The device should power on automatically.
- Power Off: Remove the SIM card and/or disconnect the battery.
4.2. Real-time Tracking (Google Maps)
To track the device's location:
- Ensure the SIM card in the device has an active data plan.
- From your mobile phone, send a specific SMS command to the SIM card number in the GF-07 tracker. The manual states "track and map (with Google Maps) in real-time over the Internet" but doesn't specify the SMS command for this. (Common commands for similar devices might be "URL" or "GPS", but refer to the original small manual for exact command if available. If not, this functionality might be app-based or require a specific platform.)
- The device should reply with a Google Maps link showing its current location. Click the link to view the location on Google Maps.
4.3. Voice Monitoring
To listen to the surroundings of the device:
- Dial the phone number of the SIM card inserted into the GF-07 tracker from your mobile phone.
- The device will automatically answer the call silently, allowing you to hear sounds around it. There will be no light or noise from the tracker during this process.
4.4. Voice Recording Function
To initiate voice recording:
- Ensure a TF (microSD) card is properly inserted into the device.
- Send the text message "555" to the SIM card number in the GF-07 tracker.
- The device will reply with a message "Snd" to confirm that recording has started.
- Recordings will be saved to the TF card. To stop recording, send "666" (common for similar devices, not specified in input, but logical). To retrieve recordings, you would typically need to remove the TF card and access it via a computer.
5. Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
- Temperature: Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures (hot or cold).
- Water Exposure: The device is not waterproof. Keep it away from water and high humidity.
- Storage: If storing for an extended period, ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50%) and store in a cool, dry place.
- Battery Life: Battery working time is approximately 100 hours on standby. Actual usage time will vary based on tracking frequency and network conditions.
