Thanks for your purchase of the high-quality GPS tracker from TOPFLYtech.
Please read this user manual carefully before installation and operation.
Information in this manual is the property of TOPFLYtech. Changes to the
specifications and features in this manual may be made by TOPFLYtech without
prior notice. No part of this manual could be reproduced, copied, translated,

The tracker is using GNSS & LTE technologies and could collect device
coordinates then transfer them via LTE network to the server. It provides
customers with cost-effective, efficient, and safe management. It has been
widely used in commercial transportation, company vehicle fleet management,
intelligent transportation, logistics, car rental, engineering machinery,
marine transportation, and other segments.
Quick Reference Intelligent Power Management
To extend the battery life, we designed an intelligent power management algorithm. This algorithm allows the tracker to work for a long period when the battery is low and disconnected from external power. Once the battery is charged back, the tracker will report as normal. This function is enabled in default. Customers can disable it by command. The detailed working logic is:
- When the battery voltage value is down to 3.5V, then the tracker will report every 24 hours no matter moving or standstill.
- When the battery is charged back to 3.6V, the device will report as what is set by the customer.
FOTA (firmware over the air) Notification
TOPFLYtech is committed to providing clients with the best user experience. We are offering an automatic firmware update feature for every device. This feature allows devices to always have the latest version of the firmware. It can save clients the time and effort of updating firmware manually. Please note that this feature is enabled in default. If you want to turn it off, please contact with TOPFLYtech. If this feature is disabled, the fw update only can be done by sending the upgrade command manually.

3. Standard Accessories Introduction
Note: Indicator lights will go out automatically after the tracker turns on for 8 mins.
Installation Guide
5.1 SIM Card Pre-Installation Note
5.1.1 SIM card data service should be enabled.
5.1.2 If the SIM card is locked via PIN, please unlock it first.
5.1.3 Ensure there is sufficient balance in the SIM card.
5.2 SIM card installation and tracker power switch
5.2.1 Open the tracker rear cover with the screwdriver.
5.2.2 Insert the SIM card with a little push. Turn the power switch from off
to on.
5.2.3 Put the cover back and use a screwdriver to fix the cover tightly.
5.3 Power extension cable
5.3.1 Untighten the cap of the tracker.
5.3. 2 Plug the extension cable to make it solid attached.
5. 3.3 Tighten the cap on the extension cable until it can’t be turned
anymore.
5.3.4 With a big capacity internal battery, the device can be used without an
extension cable. Please make sure the trucker cap is tightened firmly to
protect the pins.
5.4 Installation
5.4.1 Away from emission sources such as all kinds of sensors, burglar alarms,
and other communication devices.
6. Quick Trouble Shooting
6.1 Unable to Connect to the Tracking Platform
6.1.1 Check the APN and IP settings.
6.1.2 Check the SIM card whether supports a specific network and the data
service whether is enabled.
6.1.3 Make sure there is no limitation or already added server IP to the IP
white list when using an M2M SIM card.
6.1.4 Check the remaining balance or network signal of the SIM card.
6.2 Tracker Shows Offline
6.2.1 Check the external power voltage to see whether the tracker is
disconnected from external power.
6.2.2 Check whether the vehicle entered the network blind area.
6.2.3 Check the balance of the tracker SIM card.
6.2.4 If the connection loss happens on the last several days of the month,
check whether the network service is terminated by the carrier because of
exceeding the max data usage volume.
6.3 Unable to locate 6.3.1 Is the top side (with the TOP SIDE logo on) facing
upwards without being shielded by metallic things during the installation?
6.3.2 Does the vehicle enter an area with no satellite coverage?
6.4 Location Drift In an area with poor GNSS signal (like the areas with lots
of high buildings), location drift may happen. When moving to open area, the
drift will no longer exist.
6.5 No Command Reply
6.5.1 Check the command format. Make sure it’s correct. 6.5.2 Vehicle may be
in-network blind area. 6.5.3 Ensure the SIM card is properly inserted.
