3. Operating Modes and Features

The GF10-07 tracker offers various operating modes and features to suit your tracking needs:

  • Real-Time GPS Tracking: Access precise, live location updates directly through the IOPGPS smartphone application.

  • Strong Magnetic Attachment: The GF10-07 features a powerful built-in magnet, allowing for quick and secure attachment to any magnetic surface without the need for additional tools or complex installation.

6. Maintenance

To ensure continuous and reliable tracking, proper maintenance of your GF10-07 tracker is essential:

  • Battery Charging: The device is equipped with a rechargeable Lithium Polymer battery. When the low battery alert is received, connect the tracker to a power source using the provided charging cable.
  • Battery Life Management: The battery life is directly affected by the chosen update interval. More frequent updates (e.g., every 30 seconds) will deplete the battery faster than less frequent updates (e.g., every 10 minutes or in battery saver mode). Adjust settings in the app to optimize battery duration according to your needs.
  • Environmental Care: While durable, avoid exposing the tracker to extreme temperatures (below -20°C or above 60°C) or direct impact to prolong its lifespan.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your GF10-07 tracker, consider the following:

  • No Initial GPS Signal: Ensure the device has been driven in a vehicle outdoors for at least 20-30 minutes after activation to acquire a stable GPS signal.
  • Inaccurate Location: Location accuracy can sometimes be affected by environmental factors (e.g., dense urban areas, indoors). The device may use Wi-Fi positioning when satellite GPS is unavailable, which can result in broader location estimates.
  • No Updates/Offline: Check if the SIM card is correctly inserted, active, and has sufficient data balance. Ensure the device battery is charged.
  • App Connectivity: Verify your smartphone has a stable internet connection and that the IOPGPS app is updated to the latest version.
