2. Hardware Description
The device features a key sensing area and a charging interface. A red indicator light illuminates during charging and turns off upon completion.
3. Installation
- Turn the nut counterclockwise.
- Rotate the bottom cover for opening.
- Hold the bottom cover and cable. Gently pull outward until the SIM card holder is exposed, and then insert a SIM card.
- Push the PCBA along the guide groove in the case. Align the USB interface on the PCBA with the shell's USB interface. Install the battery, paying attention to the positive and negative poles (the spring side is the negative pole), and push it together with the back cover.
- Rotate the bottom cover so that the metal sheet rotates to the limit slot. Pull the screw outward slightly, and manually tighten the nut clockwise when it stops pulling. Note: Do not tighten this nut with tools, as it may cause the plastic shell to break due to excessive force. A diagram shows the plastic limit, metal sheet, and screw.
- The tracker automatically turns on after installation. After 1 minute, the indicator light flashes once per second (LTE signal normal). If it flashes twice per second, both LTE and GPS signals are normal. The indicator light automatically turns off after 3 minutes. Each successful sensor key operation will keep the signal indicator light on for 3 minutes.
- First, check the diameter and length of your bicycle's head tube to ensure the tracker fits properly. The tracker's diameter is 24mm, and its length is 162mm.
- Position the M6 matching screw nut to match the length of the nut and tracker device.
- Rotate the M6 matching screw into the bicycle's handlebar tube and fix it. Then, wedge the M6 screw fully into the handlebar tube with a hammer.
- Take out the M6 matching screw and install the tracker into the bicycle tube.

7.1 Positioning Strategy
You can select the working mode and positioning strategy via the app. When stationary, set a longer reporting interval (e.g., 2 hours). When moving, set a shorter interval (e.g., 3 minutes). The tracker displays the movement trajectory.
7.1.1 Working Mode
| Working Mode | Description | Standby Time |
|---|---|---|
| Real time online | The tracker is online in real time and reports its location according to the set motion/stationary intervals. | Real-time online, positioning once in 3 minutes when moving, positioning once in 24 hours when stationary, standby for about 6 days. |
| Smart mode | Offline when stationary (the tracker turns off LTE; inductive key, shock alarms can trigger online). Wakes up and goes online when in motion. Whether stationary or moving, the device reports at the set interval. This is the default mode, but not the default tracking strategy. | Positioning once in 3 minutes when moving, once in 24 hours when stationary, about 26 days in standby. This setting is the default. When moving, it is online but does not set the positioning interval (single location if needed); Offline when stationary, positioning once every 24 hours, standby for about 56 days. |
| Power saving mode | After the start time and reporting interval are set, the device goes offline (LTE turns off). Induction key can trigger online. Or, the movement can be online in the armed state, and alarm once every three minutes, forming a track until disarming. After reaching the start time, the device reports the position and works for 3 minutes, then periodically goes online to report according to the set interval. For example, psm+password+space+9:30+space+24 means the device wakes up at 9:30 to report and then wakes up and reports every 24 hours. | Report once a day for about 170 days of standby. |
Note: The above standby times are measured based on 2 hours of cycling per day and are for reference only. Actual use may vary due to signal strength, positioning interval, and riding time.
7.1.2 Positioning Interval
SMS Command: fix+003m+024h+***n+password. The tracker reports at a 3-minute interval when moving and every 24 hours when stopped. ***n means unlimited times. The motion can form a trajectory. For power saving, the motion interval can be set to "000s" (no motion report). Vibration alarms in armed state can also form a trajectory. Static time is reported every 24 hours.
Cancel: nofix+password, Response: nofix ok.

Arm: Place the inductive key on top of the device. After 2 seconds, the buzzer sounds once, indicating it is armed. Remove the sensor key.
Disarm: Quickly place the inductive key on top of the device twice in a row, then remove it. The buzzer sounds twice, indicating it is disarmed. If the wrong number of swipes occurs five times consecutively, the device alarms and disables the inductive key. You must disarm via other methods to use it again.
The number of key swipes for disarming and error bans can be set via command: inductionkey+password+space+2. Reply: inductionkey ok, where '2' means 2 swipes are needed to disarm.
9. Bluetooth Automatic Arm/Disarm
In phone settings, open Bluetooth, search for "Bn407", connect, enter the password, and pairing succeeds.
When far from the terminal, the Bluetooth connection disconnects, and the terminal automatically arms.
When close to the terminal, Bluetooth reconnects, and the terminal automatically disarms.
Note: If other methods (inductive key, SMS, app, web, Bluetooth settings) are used after arming, Bluetooth automatic arm/disarm becomes invalid until disarmed by other means. If not using Bluetooth sensing, unpair in the phone's Bluetooth menu.
If you prefer using the mobile app and web version, you do not need to pay attention to this section.
