7. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Winnes 4G TK905B GPS Tracker, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Charging: Recharge the device regularly, especially when a low battery alert is received. Use the provided USB cable and a compatible 5V USB power source.
- Cleaning: Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Water Resistance: While IPX65 rated, avoid prolonged submersion in water. Ensure the SIM card slot cover is always securely closed.

8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your GPS tracker, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Solution |
|---|---|
| Device cannot connect to the network. | Check if the SIM card is correctly inserted and has an active data plan. Ensure 4G/2G network coverage in the area. Restart the device. |
| Inaccurate positioning. | Ensure the device has a clear view of the sky for GPS signals. Indoor or underground locations may result in LBS (Location Based Service) positioning, which is less accurate (100-1000m). |
| Battery drains quickly. | Verify that sleep modes are enabled. Frequent real-time tracking updates (e.g., every 10 seconds) consume more power. Reduce tracking frequency if possible. |
| Cannot log in to the platform/app. | Double-check the device ID and password. Ensure the device is powered on and has network connectivity. Contact customer support if the issue persists. |
| No alerts received. | Confirm that alarm settings are correctly configured in the app/platform. Check notification settings on your mobile device. |
