Wiring of Standard Version

Tips for finding right wires:

  1. Use multimeter to find out the positive and negative sides of vehicle battery.
    Note: No matter the ignition key is switched to ON or OFF, current battery voltage can be shown in the multimeter.

  2. The way to find ACC wire: Connect multimeter’s black probe to negative side, and connect red probe to a random wire, at this moment, the voltage shown in multimeter is 0V; turn the key to ON, if the supply voltage is shown, that’s  the correct ACC wire.

  3. Connect the two connectors together, if the vehicle has no connector, please connect device’s wires to corresponding vehicle wires.

Troubleshooting

Type Use
Unable to connect to tracking platform Check the APN and IP settings.

Check whether the data service of SIM card is enabled.
Check the balance of SIM card.
Tracker shows offline| Check whether external power is still connected.
Check if the vehicle entered network blind area.
Check the balance of SIM card.
Unable to locate| Make sure the top side facing upward without metallic things shielded.
Make sure it’s not in area with no satellite coverage.
Location drift| In area with poor GNSS signal(tall building around or basement), drifting may happen.
Check whether vibration happens around to trigger the accelerator.
No command reply| Make sure command format is correct.
Vehicle may be in network blind area.
Make sure SIM card is well inserted and have SMS service.
