Product description
The device combines several functions of accurate positioning, safety, monitoring, emergency alarms and full tracking. It supports GPRS / Internet data transfer functions and can be widely used in many areas of location-based services, traffic safety and management.
Based on its design and mounting, the device is primarily designed to track bicycles - as a result, its users are primarily vehicle owners (adults or children).
Settings that affect the operation of the device can only be changed from another device (smartphone, computer) with the help of our software application - so users can be sure that the device always works according to the parameters they specify.
How to use
The device has a built-in SIM card that can be used anywhere in the world, a strong battery and a rugged, waterproof aluminum cover that is resistant to external influences. With the help of the built-in motion sensor, you can receive an immediate alarm if the device or the bicycle is moved by unauthorized persons. It works continuously, it cannot be switched off. When discharged, it turns on automatically when the charger is connected.
The device can be mounted under the bottle holder of the bicycle with special custom safety screws manufactured by us. Communication is via the SIM card built into the device and the internet connection provided by the mobile service providers. The current position of the device, previous route, statistics, etc. are provided by the computer or mobile phone application we have developed.
The device is already set up and handed over ready for use. After commissioning, the device automatically connects to the GPS / BEIDOU and GSM networks (if available) using the satellite receiver and SIM card and starts collecting position data.
When switched on
- The device continuously registers position data, which can be queried with SMS commands at a limited level.
- The device sends the position data to the software service center - their processed results (eg map route display, list of route events, real-time tracking) - can be viewed in the phone or computer application.
You can find detailed information on the installation, use, maintenance and decommissioning of the device in the further sections of the documentation.
The device is protected by a safety label - it must not be disassembled, as breaking the insulation may damage the device and void the warranty. The built-in SIM card in your device cannot be replaced at home. If you wish to transfer the device to another person, please contact our customer service to make the necessary settings!

Micro USB connector
Charging cable connector.
Charging the battery
The device is powered by a built-in battery, which needs to be charged at different intervals depending on the intensity of use.
The corresponding USB charging cable is included in the package. It is connected to the tracking device via a MICRO USB connector - if you do not use the factory cable, make sure that it is type-compliant!
Charging takes 2-3 hours, during which the LED indicator lights up red. When the device is fully charged, the light turns off.
When the battery is fully charged, 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.
For the device with a voltage of 5V 1 Use a charger that provides current. Chargers with a higher capacity can damage the battery.
Switching on and off
The device switches on automatically when charged and runs continuously until the battery is discharged - it cannot be switched off.
After switching on, the device starts searching for GPS satellites immediately. If the appropriate satellite connections are available, positioning will be based on these data. If not, the device performs position calculation (LBS) based on the position of the transmission towers of the mobile service providers.

|---|---|---|
| The device does not turn on or turns off immediately after turning it on. | The battery may be exhausted. | Charge the battery. |
| Phone calls and / or SMS communication between the device and the phone do not work. | No GSM connection. | Check the strength of the GSM connection. If the LED is solid amber, there is no connection to the service provider's network. You may be in a shaded area - change position. |
| The SIM card is defective or there is a contact error. | Remove the SIM card, or clean it with a soft eraser or stylus and reinsert it. If it still does not work, have it tested by a professional (eg a mobile service provider). | |
| Phone application services do not work. | Your device, phone or none of them have a GPS satellite and / or GSM / Wifi connection. | Check GPS, GSM and wifi connection. If the LED is solid yellow or blue, there is no satellite and / or mobile service connection. Also check the wifi connection on your phone. Look for a place that is not shaded by trees, buildings, or other landmarks, or a place where the signal strength is higher. |
| Service provider system error | If you do not find a problem with the above, there may be a system error with your telephone application provider. | |
| APN setting error | Check the APN settings of the tracking device. | |
| The device does not respond to SMS commands | There may be an incorrect SIM card in your device. | A card with voice call, SMS and GPRS data traffic is required for the device to work properly. |

Decommissioning
Disposing and destroying the device
If you decide to stop using the appliance, do not throw it away with the normal household waste. The device is a complex structure and its components contribute to environmental problems to varying degrees.
- The device has a printed circuit board made of copper, an epoxy resin based board, which is coated with gold in places. It is made using gallium arsenide, antimony, beryllium, brominated flame retardants, cadmium, lead, nickel, palladium, silver, tantalum and zinc, of which flame retardants and lead are the most dangerous to the environment.
- Copper, cadmium, nickel and zinc were used to make the battery.
- The cover is made of polycarbonate plastic, which is difficult to recycle, its material may also contain brominated flame retardants, which are particularly dangerous for the environment.
- The charging cable consists mainly of plastic-coated copper wires, but may also contain gold, cadmium and brominated flame retardants.
In case of improper handling, the above substances are more or less harmful to the environment. Therefore, if you dispose of the device, dispose of the device as electronic waste, hand it in to a specialist waste disposal service or dispose of it in a container for the collection of this type of waste.
Disposal of packaging
The packaging of the device (box and inner packaging materials) was made using paper and various plastics. The box paper, the internal sealing profile and the bags protecting the device should be disposed of as plastic waste.
