Preparing the SIM card

As with mobile phones, a SIM card is required to operate the device. The device communicates with the mobile service provider's network via SIM card, SMS or mobile phone or PC applications.

You can purchase the card independently from your mobile service provider or, in the case of a software subscription, from your product distributor. If you received the SIM card from your dealer, you do not need to make any settings: the card is already set up, inserted in the device, switched on and ready for use.

If you have received the SIM card from your dealer, do not try to transfer it to another device (eg phone) and use it! The distributor (service provider) will reimburse the resulting costs or the correction of the resulting errors.

Settings for your SIM card

If you did not obtain the SIM card from your tracking device vendor, you must set it up before inserting and using it in the device, which you can do as follows.

Disable SIM card PIN and other functions

  1. Insert the SIM card in your phone.
  2. Among the setting functions of the phone
  3. turn off the PIN code request, auto-reply and call forwarding options.

After turning off the above, insert the card into the tracking device. See the next section for instructions on how to insert the SIM card.

 

Setting up data traffic

If you want to operate the device not only via SMS, but also e.g. If you use the software tracking service provided by your dealer, you must activate GPRS (Internet) data traffic and use the appropriate network settings if you use your own SIM card. To do this, you must send SMS messages from your phone to the phone number of the SIM card inserted in the tracking device, as shown in the table below.

Before sending the instructions in the table below from your phone to the phone number of the device's SIM card, set the administrator's phone number on the device in a preliminary SMS.

Send an SMS from your phone to the phone number of the device with the following content: password,sos1,phone-number#
Example: 123456,sos1,06209876543

All other commands sent via SMS will only be received and executed. Always use lowercase letters in SMS messages and do not leave spaces anywhere!

Inserting the SIM card

Only micro-sized SIM cards can be used with this product. If you have a nano SIM, use a card adapter.

Insert the SIM card into the device as follows:

Inserting the SIM card

Steps:

  1. Make sure the appliance is switched off.
  2. Open the cover of the SIM card slot.
  3. Insert the card into the slot in the correct position.
  4. Close the protective cover.

Charging the battery

The device has a built-in battery that can be charged via the USB port. Your phone charger is suitable for charging, but you can also use the USB connection of a computer or energy bank.

The corresponding USB charging cable is supplied with the device by the manufacturer. This is connected to the device via a MICRO USB connector - if you do not use the factory cable, make sure that it is type-compliant!

Az akkumulátor feltöltése

The charge level is indicated by a four-member LED indicator.

Charge the device for at least 8 hours before using it for the first time!

When the battery is fully charged (all four LEDs are lit), disconnect the charging cable. The device does NOT have overcharge protection, so prolonged or continuous charging will shorten the life of the device or, in worse cases, damage it.

Use a charger that supplies 2 A to the device at a voltage of 5 V. Chargers with a higher capacity can damage the battery.

It is recommended to fully discharge the battery every 3 months and then recharge it! Do not use the device while charging, this applies especially to the energy bank function!

Lamp

There is a built-in LED headlight at one end of the device. To switch it on or off, briefly press the on / off button on the device once.

Normal operation of the device

The device can be operated in the following ways:

  1. using the software service provided by the distributor and the SIM card together, in addition to the software service provided by the distributor but using his own SIM card, or
  2. without the service provider's software service, with your own SIM card.

The service provider provides a SIM card for the tracking device only if you subscribe to the software service. In the case of unsolicited use of the software, the user must provide the appropriate card with a data traffic limit (also).

With Distributor Software and SIM Card

In this case, you can receive the device in the ready state, no further settings are required to use it.

Separate software is available for setting or adjusting the operating parameters of the device, for retrieving information or for using more advanced services (eg map route display, waiting and travel points, diagrams, timetable, etc.). This is provided by the distributor in the form of a downloadable application on a desktop and tablet browser on an Android mobile phone as part of a subscription system.

To use the software, an active internet connection is required on your device (mobile phone, computer).

The software stores and processes the data sent by the tracking device to the service provider's center, from which the graphical and textual information is generated. Using the software triggers (sometimes very expensive) SMS and voice call communication with the device and provides tracking and security services that go well beyond the basic functions of the device.

After launching the application in a browser or phone:

  1. In the login window, enter the username and password you received in the email from the distributor or registered on its website.
  2. In the interface that appears, select Help and review the information for using the software.
  3. Software management information is available in its help.

With Distributor software but with own SIM card

After setting up and inserting the SIM card as described in the setup chapter, you must register the card. To do this, contact your software service provider (device vendor). From now on, the operation of the device is the same as described in the previous chapter.

Without software, with own SIM card

If you have subscribed to the reseller's software service, DO NOT use the standalone SMS communication method because

  • redundant (the software has all the functions needed for tracking and settings),
  • the software provider charges a separate fee for the possible elimination of possible operational anomalies caused by SMS commands,
  • if you use your own SIM card in the device, SMS will incur extra costs,
  • if you use your service provider's SIM card, your service provider will reimburse you for the cost of the SMS.

If you do not use (have not subscribed) to the software service provided by the dealer, you can only use the basic functions of the device - by sending SMS messages from your mobile phone to the phone number of the device's SIM card.
