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 enter the appropriate network settings. To do this, you need to 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

Using the product

User Interface

The device does not have a traditional user interface (eg on / off button). LED indicators inform the user about its operation and status. In addition, only the charger connector and a SIM card slot can be found on its surface.

SOS button (5)
The button is pressed for approx. after 3 seconds of continuous press, an emergency call will send an SMS to a previously set phone number.

Battery

The device is powered by a built-in battery, which needs to be charged at different intervals depending on the intensity of use. Your phone's charger is suitable for charging, but you can also use the USB connection of a computer or energy bank. The appropriate USB charging cable is included with the device. 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 via USB

Charging takes 6-8 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 keeping it on a long-term or continuous charger (eg connecting to a vehicle battery) will shorten the life of the device or, in worse cases, damage it.

Use a charger that provides 1A at 5V. Chargers with a higher capacity can damage the battery.

Switching on and off

The device switches on automatically when you insert the SIM card, and switches it off when you remove it. It does not have a separate on / off button.

After switching on, the device starts searching for GPS satellites immediately. If the appropriate satellite links 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.

Operating time

The device is set at the factory to be so-called at rest. Switches to “sleep” mode. In this state, its operating time is about 25 days. It switches from sleep mode to operating mode (“wake”) in the event of external influences (eg movement, vibration).

In the case of use via software, the operating time also depends on how the data transmission frequency of the device has been determined (eg 10 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 1 hour, etc.). Example:

  • With 1 hour of wakefulness per day, approx. 8-10 days.
  • With a wakefulness of 8-10 hours a day, approx. 2-3 days.

If the device is operated with SMS commands, the operating time is also affected by the frequency of issuing the commands (ie forcing the device to respond).

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.

Query the position of the device

Description Device response
Call the phone number of the device's SIM card from your phone. After receiving the call, the device interrupts it and then sends the data back in an SMS message: latitude and longitude, current speed, time and link, which, when clicked / tapped, will display the device's indicator on the Google map in our phone's browser.

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.

or LBS-based positioning

 

Interception of the environment (sound monitoring)

The device has a built-in microphone and data storage on an SD card. The ambient noise and sounds listened to with the help of the microphone can be recorded on the card in the form of a sound recording. You can listen to the recordings by moving the card to your phone or computer. The device is set to tracking mode at the factory.
