2 Hardware Description

The device features a GPS/POWER/GSM status light indicator. The physical appearance of the GPS Tracker is a compact, rectangular device with a black and grey casing. It has a prominent 'GPS TRACKER' logo on the front. Below the logo, there are several colored wires extending from the bottom, typically used for connection.

3 Terminal Installation

1. Please ask a qualified engineer to install it.
2. The installation environment should ensure that the GSM and GPS signals are good.
3. Please do not install it in a dusty and humid environment.
4. Find the 12PIN wiring harness provided with the product, insert it into the corresponding wiring hole of the product, and connect to the original car circuit. The wiring diagram shows connections for:
   • Black wire: Negative power (-)
   • Violet wire: SOS button
   • Green wire: Positive (+) Door trigger
   • Red wire: Positive (+) Power
   • Blue wire: Negative (-) Door trigger
   • White wire: (+) Car power
   • Orange wire: ACC
   • Pink wire: Alarm siren
   • Brown wire: To engine side
   • White with black wire: To pump side
   • Yellow wire: Fuel sensor (0-5v), Oil and power cut
   The diagram also illustrates connections to the car engine & oil line and fuel pump.
5. The pink wire can be connected to the original car alarm horn or an alarm horn purchased separately.
6. Understand that the vehicle door trigger type is either positive or negative trigger. Connect to the green wire for a positive trigger and to the blue wire for a negative trigger.
7. Please install the SOS button where the driver can easily touch it.
8. SIM Card Installation: Use the included screwdriver to open the case and insert the SIM card. If you intend to expand storage space, insert a micro SD card and then assemble the case. Ensure the SIM card's network frequency band is supported by the device. Caller ID must be turned on, and the PIN code must be turned off. Call forwarding function cannot be turned on.
9. After inserting the SIM card, connect the positive (red) and negative (black) wires of the power supply to the car's 12V or 24V power supply. Wait for the device to work normally after 1 minute of power-on, then turn on the backup battery switch.

4 Device Status Light

• Red light: Always on when charging, turns off when fully charged. Flashes quickly when the battery is low.
• Green light: Flashes every 1 second when GSM network signal is normal; flashes every 3 seconds when in GPRS mode; always on when there is no GSM network.
• Blue light: Flashes every 1 second when GPS signal is normal; flashes 3 times per second when GPS signal is very good; turns off if the GPS signal is lost.

5 This GPS Tracker Supports Mobile APP, Web Server Platform and SMS for Management in Multiple Ways

If you use the APP and web platform, you need a SIM card with a data plan or a data card. If you use SMS, you need a SIM card that enables SMS, voice calls, and caller ID.

6 Mobile APP

To download the BAANOOL IOT app, scan the provided QR codes or search for "BAANOOL IOT" on Google Play or the App Store. After downloading, open BAANOOL IOT, register a new account, and log in. Choose "BAANOOL car" to enter the application.

Bind Device: On the home page, click the 'Add Device' button and scan the IMEI number to bind a new device. The IMEI number is attached to the side of the device and can also be manually entered for binding.

Using Tracker: Under normal circumstances, the device automatically selects the APN, username, and password. If the device is still offline after 3 minutes of binding, you may need to manually set the APN, username, and password as per sections 10.17 and 10.18. Once the device is online, you can view and manage it.

You can select the working mode and positioning strategy by clicking the positioning button. When stationary, you can set a longer interval for reporting location information (e.g., 1 hour). When moving, you can set a shorter interval for more frequent reporting (e.g., 10 seconds). The movement trajectory will be displayed when the tracker moves.

8.1.1 Working Mode

8.1.2 Positioning Interval

This section describes how to set the interval for reporting location data. The device can be configured to report at specific intervals when moving or stationary.

8.2 Playback

You can click the playback button to view the historical track record of the device.

8.3 Remote Immobilizing

Features include delayed immobilizing, immediate immobilizing, and resuming fuel and power supply.

8.4 Arm/Disarming

The device supports arming, silent arming, and disarming functions.

8.5 Alarm Function in Arming State

• 8.5.1 Door Open Alarm: When the system is armed and the car door is illegally opened, the device triggers a door open alarm. The alarm siren will beep for 20 seconds. If the door remains illegally opened, the siren will beep continuously at 20-second intervals. Disarming stops the alarm.
• 8.5.2 ACC Alarm: When the tracker is armed, turning the starter key to the ACC ON position or starting the vehicle directly triggers the ACC ignition alarm. The alarm siren will beep for 20 seconds. If it's an illegal ignition state, the siren will beep continuously at 20-second intervals. Disarming stops the alarm.
• 8.5.3 Shock Alarm: When the tracker is armed, a shock alarm is triggered if the device moves or vibrates. The shock alarm is triggered only once within 3 minutes. The alarm siren will beep for 5 seconds for the first trigger within three minutes, then for 5 seconds for the second trigger, and for 10 seconds for subsequent triggers.

8.6 Other Alarm Functions

• 8.6.1 Low Battery Alarm: When the tracker's battery voltage drops close to 3.55V, it sends a low battery alarm every 15 minutes, up to 2 times.
• 8.6.2 External Power Disconnection Alarm: This function is active by default. When the external power supply is disconnected, the device sends an external power disconnection alarm.
• 8.6.3 SOS Alarm: Pressing the SOS button for 3 seconds sends an SOS alarm.
• 8.6.4 Geo fence: After setting electronic fences on the APP or platform, a Geo fence alarm is triggered when the device enters or leaves the set fence.
• 8.6.5 Movement Alarm: Draw a circle with the tracker's current location as the center. If the tracker exceeds the radius, a movement alarm is triggered.
• 8.6.6 Over Speed Alarm: After setting a speed threshold, an overspeed alarm is triggered when the device's speed exceeds it.
• 8.6.7 Fuel Alarm: If the vehicle's fuel consumption deviates from the norm while running, or if there's fuel leakage or theft when stopped, the GPS triggers an oil theft/leakage alarm, and the alarm horn sounds for 20 seconds. For accurate readings, fuel tank height and full values need to be set. Calibration involves sending "oilzero+password" when empty and "oilfull+password" when full.

8.7 Listen

Listen for 15 seconds per request.

8.8 Other Function Settings

Users can control the device to stop alarming, check SIM card balance, reset the device, restore factory settings, set shock sensitivity, authorization numbers, alarm times, time zone, external power on/off, oil volume zero/full adjustment, smart angle updating settings, tracker password, and check device details, operation records, and installation information.

9 Remote Controller (For G model)
