Operating Instructions
Basic Functions via SMS Commands
The GF-08 tracker is primarily controlled via SMS commands sent from a registered mobile number to the device's SIM card number. Ensure your mobile number is authorized to send commands to the tracker.
- Location Tracking: Send an SMS with a specific command (e.g., "GPS" or "URL") to the device. It will reply with its current location coordinates or a map link.
- Sound Monitoring: To listen to the surroundings, send an SMS command (e.g., "MONITOR") to the device. The device will call back to your registered number, allowing you to hear the audio around the tracker.
- Photo Capture (MMS): If equipped with a camera, send an SMS command (e.g., "PHOTO") to capture an image. The device will send the photo back via MMS. Ensure the TF card is inserted for storage.
- Voice Recording: Send an SMS command (e.g., "RECORD") to initiate voice recording. The audio will be saved to the TF card.
- Alarm Functions: Set up various alarms (e.g., vibration alarm, low battery alarm) by sending specific SMS commands.
