8.3 Single Tracking

• If no numbers are authorized, any call receives a location report.
• If authorized numbers are set, unauthorized calls are ignored.
• Calling from an authorized number hangs up and sends a real-time location report.

[Image description: A mobile phone screen displaying a map with GPS coordinates (latitude, longitude), speed, timestamp, and a Google Maps link, along with device status indicators like Power, Door, and ACC.]

If GPS signal is lost, the message includes the last known GPS position and LAC code. SMS command position+password retrieves location.

8.4 Sleep Tracking Strategy
