Mobile APP
This tracker supports mobile APP, web server, Bluetooth, and SMS to track and manage in multiple ways.
If using the mobile APP and web server, a SIM card activated with a data package or a data SIM card is required. If using SMS mode, the SIM card needs to be activated with SMS, voice call, and call display functions enabled.
Scan the QR code to download the APP. QR codes are provided for downloading the BAANOOL IOT mobile application from Google Play and the App Store.
Register: Open BAANOOL IOT, register a new account and log in. Choose "BAANOOL car" to enter.
Bind Device: Click the "Add device" button or scan the QR CODE on the device or enter the IMEI manually to bind the device.
Use the device: Usually, the device can automatically select the APN, username, and password without setting it. If the device is still offline after 3 minutes of binding, you need to set the APN and username and password via Bluetooth or SMS according to sections 11.19 and 11.20. After the device comes online via GPRS normally, you can view and manage the device.

Mobile APP and Web Server Functions
Positioning Strategy
You can click the "tracking" button to select the working mode and tracking interval. When stationary, set a longer time interval to report the location (e.g., 1 hour). When moving, set a short time interval for frequent location reports (e.g., 10 seconds). When the GPS device is moving, it will show the motion trace.
Work Mode

|---|---|
| Real time tracking | GPRS is always online, GPS device reports location according to the set time interval. When moving or not moving. |
| Smart mode | GPRS always online is defaulted, and reports location every 10 seconds when moving or every hour when not moving. GPRS offline when not moving (phone calls, SMS messages, and alarms triggered get GPRS online. SOS/door open alarm/illegal ignition alarms are triggered, the device will be always GPRS online until these alarms are cancelled). When moving, GPS device wakes up and goes online; no matter if moving or not, the device will report location at the set time interval. |
Tracking Time Interval
Set the time when still and time when motion for tracking intervals.
Playback
You can click "playback" to check the history motion trace.
