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

Insert the SIM card in your phone.
Among the setting functions of the phone
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 enter the appropriate network settings. 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.

The factory-set access password for the tracking device in the commands: 123456

Setting	SMS content	Device response
Turn on GPRS data traffic	gprs123456	GPRS ok
Setting APN name	apn123456 APN-name	apn ok
Setting APN name	APN names for domestic service providers: Telenor: online or net Telekom: internet Vodafone: - in case of subscription: internet.vodafone.net - in the case of a top-up card: vitamax.internet.vodafone.net Digi: internet
If your mobile network provider has not provided you with an APN username and password, you do not need to send the following SMS messages to the tracking device!
APN username	apnuser123456 APN-username	apnuser ok
APN password	apnpasswd123456 APN-password	apnpasswd ok

Inserting the SIM card

Only standard size SIM cards can be used with this product. If you have a micro or nano SIM, use a card adapter!

Insert the SIM card into the device as follows: Steps:

Using a pointed tool, press the SIM tray release button.
Pull out the SIM tray.
Insert the card in the correct position.
Push the tray back into place.

Installing the device

The device must be connected to the vehicle's electrical system.

If you do not have the necessary expertise, have the device installed by a specialist! Position the device in such a way that it is not exposed to strong environmental influences (shock, strong vibrations, water jets, etc.).

Choose the type of measurement the device uses: speed or fuel level.

To detect the speed of the vehicle, connect the white / black wire to the speed sensor signal wire of the car transmission and the black wire will be grounded.
To measure the fuel level, connect the white / black wire to the fuel evaluator.

Using the wiring harness, connect the wires to the original car circuit as follows:

Turning on

Connect the red (positive, + 12 / 24V) and black (negative, ground) wires to the appropriate poles of the vehicle power supply. Wait approx. 1 minute until the appliance is put into operation. You can follow the process on the LED displays.

Turn battery on and off

The device has a built-in battery - this allows short (approx. Half an hour) operation without vehicle connection.

In addition to normal use, the device is powered by the vehicle's power source and also charges its internal battery. As an option, if the device is not installed in a vehicle, the battery can be charged via the USB connector using your phone charger and the included micro USB cable.

If you disconnect the device from the vehicle and want to operate it from its own battery, switch the battery on (or off) using the on / off button.

Installing and accessing an application

In order to operate the device and other services based on it, the distributor provides mobile and computer applications in the subscription system. The PC program is accessible via a browser at https://gpspositions.net/map/, and you can install the phone application on your phone in one of the following ways:

For Android phones

Open the Google Play app on your phone.
Search for “Flexcom” or “Flexcom tracking” on Google Play.

Mikro USB csatlakozó

Az USB csatlakozó elsősorban a készülék belső szoftverének frissítésére és az SMS parancsok helyett beállítások elvégzésére használatos – ezek csak kifejezetten hozzáértők számára ajánlottak. Ezen kívül a belső akkumulátor is feltöltésére is alkalmas.

Operation of the device

The device can be operated in the following ways:

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
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:

In the login window, enter the username and password you received in the email from the distributor or registered on its website.
In the interface that appears, select Help and review the information for using the software.
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.

If the device cannot connect to GPS satellites (eg inside a building or in another shaded area), use the cell information of the GSM transmission towers to determine its position (LBS, Location Based Service). Its accuracy depends largely on the distance from the towers and the mobile network coverage.

Automatic tracking

You can set your device to send position data continuously under certain conditions.

Any of the auto-tracking settings discussed below can result in a series of SMS messages between the tracking device and the owner’s phone - this can have significant cost implications.

If you want to operate the device in this way, it is definitely recommended to use the service provider's software tracking service, which provides these functions - regardless of the frequency and amount of data transmissions - for a fixed monthly fee.
