  • Setting Up Alarms: Configure various alarms (door open, engine ignition, speeding, movement) by sending specific SMS commands to the device. Refer to the full command list in the comprehensive manual for details. For example, to set a speed alarm, you might send "speed+password+space+speedlimit".
  • Panic Button (SOS): In an emergency, pressing the panic button will send an SOS alert with the vehicle's location to pre-programmed authorized numbers.
  • Voice Monitoring: Utilize the microphone accessory for voice monitoring around the device by calling the tracker's phone number from an authorized number.
