Start to use
5.1 Terminal installation
Please ask a qualified engineer to install it. The installation environment should not exceed the GSM performance index. Please do not install it in a dusty and humid environment. 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.
5.2 SIM card installation
Open the rubber plug of the SIM card slot and insert SIM card, if you intend to expand the storage space, please insert micro SD. Please make sure the SIM card is of GSM network, and you have topped it up with credit. Make sure that there is no call transfer and call display is on, the PIN code is locked. The format of the SMS message must be text format because the device cannot recognize the PDU format. Note: The tracker will only accept a Nano size SIM card – 'standard' or 'Micro' SIM cards will not work in the tracker.
5.3 Turn on the device
Connect the positive and negative (red and black) wires of the power supply to the 12V or 24V power supply of the car. Wait the device works normally after 1 minute of power-on, and then turn on the Backup battery switch.
5.4 Device status light
Red light: Always on when charging, and turns off after being fully charged. Red light flashes quickly when battery is low.
Green light: Flashes every 1 second when GSM network signal normally, flashes every 3 seconds when works in GPRS mode; always on when 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 (at least 4 satellites with a signal-to-noise ratio of more than 38), and turns off if lost fix to satellites.
Attention: When reading this user manual, you will notice that we have used "+" and "space" between some words; "+" between two words means they should be written together as one word without a space and "space" between two words means you should leave one character space between two words.
5.5 GPRS configuration for live real-time tracking
Usually, the device can automatically recognize and select the APN, user name and password of GPRS settings. If the device cannot connect to the web platform, then you need to use the mobile phone text message to configure the settings according to following steps.

You must set the APN of your local GSM network provider for the SIM card in the tracker before using this function. If your local GSM network provider requires a user name and password for GPRS, please set it up according to section 6.28. After APN has been set up, send "address+password". It will reply with the exact address including street name. For example: No.113, Guankou 2nd Rd, Nantou, Nanshan district, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China.
6.8 Location based service (LBS) / Cell-ID tracking
If the tracker cannot establish a solid GPS Fix, it will calculate its location using Cell-ID GSM locating. Location reports will include the GPS coordinates of the last known positions as well as a LAC code. You can send the command "address+password" to the tracker to request the exact address in SMS mode. The tracker will automatically switch to tracking by LBS in GPRS mode.

6.28.1.2 Configure user name and password
In most countries, the user name and password of GPRS are not necessary; therefore, you can ignore this step if it is not necessary for your local network. For those countries requiring user name and password, please configure as following:
SMS command: up+password+space+user+space+password
Tracker response: user, password ok!
Example: up123456 Jonnes 666666
Note: 123456 means the password of the device, Jonnes means the user name of gprs, and 666666 means password of gprs, please configure it according to the user name and password of your local ones; you can check this information with your local wireless carrier.
6.28.2 Configure domain name and port
The tracker connects to tracker.baanool.net:8090 by default. If you need to connect to another domain name, please configure it.
SMS command: dns+password+space+DNS domain name+space+port
Tracker response: dns success!
Example 1: dns123456 04.GPSTrackerXY.com 9000
Example 2: dns123456 tracker.baanool.net 8090
Note: 123456 is the tracker's password, 04.GPSTrackerXY.com is the DNS, 9000 is the port. If you want to configure IP instead of DNS, then please send SMS command: "adminip+password+space+IP+space+port".
6.28.3 GPRS / SMS mode switch
The GPRS mode is the default one. If you need to switch, please refer to the following instructions.
6.28.3.1 GPRS mode
SMS command: GPRS+password
Tracker response: GPRS OK! (It means it has been switched to GPRS mode.)
Example: GPRS123456
TCP / UDP switch
TCP mode is the default one; you don't need to configure this step if the web platform works with TCP mode, but you need to configure it as following when you are using a platform which only works with UDP.
SMS command to switch to TCP mode: GPRS+password,0,0
SMS command to switch to UDP mode: GPRS+password,1,1
Tracker response: GPRS OK!
Example: GPRS123456,0,0GPRS123456,1,1
6.28.3.2 SMS mode
Switching to SMS mode will disconnect the GPRS connection for live tracking.
SMS command: SMS+password
Tracker response: SMS OK! (It means it has been switched to SMS mode.)
Example: SMS123456
6.29 Activate Fuel value in GPRS data
GPRS data string has no fuel value by default. If you need the fuel value in the GPRS data string, please configure it as following:
SMS command: protocol+password 18
Tracker response: protocol 18 ok
Example: protocol123456 18
If you want to change back to the default data string, please configure as following:
SMS command: protocol+password 12
Tracker response: protocol 12 ok
Example: protocol123456 12
Note: By default, the tracker is connected to tracker.baanool.net:8090 with fuel value, so no need to configure this step. If you are using another IP or domain name, use this command to activate the fuel value.
6.30 Configure SMS monitoring center number
SMS command: centernum+password+space+phone number
Tracker response: centernum ok
Example: centernum123456 13322221111
After the SMS monitoring center number is set successfully, the "Continuous interval tracking" messages will be sent to this number. If the monitoring center number needs to receive the alarm notification message, please set this number as an authorized number too.
Cancel SMS monitoring center number
SMS command: nocenternum+password
Tracker response: nocenternum ok
Example: nocenternum123456
6.31 Configure heartbeat package interval
The default heartbeat interval to keep GPRS connection alive is 100 seconds; you can change it if necessary, but please be kindly informed that if the time interval is too long, it may cause GPRS disconnection.
SMS command: heartbeat+password+space+time interval
Tracker response: heartbeat ok
Example: heartbeat123456 120
Note: (123456 means tracker's password, 120 means the interval. The minimum interval is 60 seconds, and the tracker will continue to send heartbeat every 60 seconds if you configure it less than 60 seconds.
6.32 Initialization
If the tracker cannot work properly, you can send a command to initialize it to return to default factory settings.
SMS command: begin+password
Tracker response: begin ok
Example: begin123456
