Setting parameters

PC Tool parameter setting

1. Download the USB driver and PC Tool from http://www.sinocastel.com/Support/ and install it.
2. Connect the USB setting cable to the terminal and the computer, open the OBD PC Tool, click “Help -> User Manual” and refer to the user manual to set the relevant parameters.

Installation Guide

Install SIM card

1. Remove the equipment cover
2. Locate the SIM card cover and insert the SIM card according to the indicated direction
3.  Replace the SIM card cover

OBD interface

The OBD interface is generally located in the cockpit and generally has an obvious “OBD” logo.

Install terminal

1.  Before installing the terminal, make sure that the network parameters, working mode and other parameters are configured correctly;
2. When the vehicle is turned off, align the terminal with the OBD interface of the vehicle through the cable and insert it in place;
3. For vehicles that will affect the cover after the connector is inserted, please use an OBD extension cable and fix the terminal in a suitable position;
4. Start the engine, the terminal will start OBD communication, GPS positioning and GPRS networking, and indicate the working status of the terminal through the indicator light;
5. It is recommended to drive for more than 10 minutes after installation for the first time.

note

1. When the terminal is plugged in for the first time, it scans the OBD protocol according to the preset working mode (such as passenger car or commercial vehicle mode). The maximum scanning time is 10 minutes. If the OBD protocol is not detected during this period, the terminal will automatically change the working mode In the tracker mode, if the OBD protocol is detected, the terminal maintains the preset working mode. After that, the terminal always works in a certain working mode. Even if it is plugged in again, the working mode will not change unless the working mode is modified through PC tools, SMS or service platform. If the terminal is preset to tracker mode, it will not scan the OBD protocol.
2. If GPS cannot be located for a long time, please use an OBD extension cable and fix the terminal at a suitable location in the car to ensure good GPS signal reception.
3. During the use of the terminal, when there is an abnormal indication of the meter, please remove the terminal and contact the Aerospace Wireless Technical Support hold.
4. Please do not plug or unplug the device when the engine is running, otherwise the vehicle may work abnormally.
5. The terminal enters the dormant state after the flame is turned off, but the battery power is still consumed. The terminal dormant current is 5mA. In order to avoid battery loss, it is recommended to unplug the terminal before parking the vehicle for a long time (such as more than 5 days).3
