GPS Tracker Manuals & User Guides

The GPS Tracker category encompasses a broad spectrum of generic and white-label tracking devices used globally for vehicle security, fleet management, pet tracking, and personal safety. Unlike centralized consumer electronics brands, these devices are often manufactured by various OEM factories and sold under different names or simply as "GPS Tracker."

Commonly identified by model series such as TK (e.g., TK905, TK403), GF (e.g., GF07, GF21), and GT (e.g., GT06), these units typically rely on GSM/GPRS networks to transmit location data to third-party web platforms and mobile apps like Baanool IoT, 365GPS, and TKStar. Users frequently require assistance with SIM card installation, APN configuration, and platform binding, as these devices often require manual setup to connect to local cellular networks.

• Why is my GPS Tracker showing as "Offline" in the app?

  This is the most common issue with generic trackers. It usually occurs because the APN (Access Point Name) has not been configured for your specific SIM card carrier, or the SIM card lacks a 2G/Data plan. You usually need to send a specific SMS command (e.g., 'apn123456 carrier_apn_name') to the device to set the APN.

• What kind of SIM card do I need for a GPS Tracker?

  Most basic mini-trackers (like the GF07 or GF21) require a SIM card that supports the 2G GSM network. Many modern SIM cards are 4G/5G only and may not work. Ensure the SIM has credit, data enabled, and the PIN code is removed before inserting it.

• How do I reset my GPS tracking device?

  Reset procedures vary by model. For many TK-series devices, sending the SMS command 'begin123456' to the tracker's number performs a factory reset. For button-operated mini trackers, holding the power button or SOS button for a specific duration or pressing it in a pattern (e.g., 4 times quickly) may initiate a reset.

• Which app should I download for my tracker?

  There is no single app for all generic trackers. Check your user manual for a QR code. Common apps include Baanool IoT (for TK series), GPS365 (for GF series), VIP Tracking, and TKStar. Using the wrong app will prevent you from logging in.
