Do not install the device under the metal surfaces or in enclosed environments having difficulty in getting network signals.

Troubleshooting and Safety Info

Troubleshooting

Table 2. 1.1. GD300M (GO Tracker 1.7) Troubleshooting List

Trouble| Possible Reason|

Solution

---|---|---
Messages can’t be reported to the backend server by the network.| APN is not right.| Ask the network operator for the right APN.
The IP address or port of the backend server is wrong.| Make sure the IP address for the backend server is an identified address on the internet.
There is no response from the USB port when the device is configured by using USB.| The port is not ready or the device is not powered on.| Please check the port and the device to ensure they are working properly.

Safety Info

Do not disassemble the device by yourself.
Do not put the device in an overheated place. The too high a temperature will damage the device or even cause a battery explosion.
Do not use the device on the airplane or near medical equipment.

FCC Regulations

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.

RF Exposure Information
This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.
This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.
This device complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. In order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the antenna shall not be less than 20cm (8 inches) during normal operation.

ISED Notice

Handling of Batteries

Prohibition short circuit
Never make a short circuit cell. It generates a very high current which causes heating of the cells and may cause electrolyte leakage, gassing or explosion these are very dangerous.
The LIR tabs may be easily short-circuited by putting them on a conductive surface.
Such an outer short circuit may lead to heat generation and damage to the cell.
An appropriate circuitry with PCM shall be employed to protect accidental short circuits of the battery pack.
Mechanical shock
Falling, hitting, bending, etc. may cause degradation of LIR characteristics.
Cell connection

Direct soldering of wire leads or devices to the cell is strictly prohibited.
Lead tabs with pre-soldered wiring shall be spot welded to the cells.
Direct soldering may cause damage to components, such as separator and insulator, by heat generation.

Prohibition of disassembly

Never disassemble the cells
The disassembling may generate an internal short circuit in the cell, which may cause gassing, firing, explosion, or other problems.
Electrolyte is harmful
LIR battery should not have liquid from electrolyte flowing, but in case the electrolyte come into contact with the skin, or
eyes, physicians shall flush the electrolyte immediately with fresh water and medical advice is to be sought.
Prohibition of dumping of cells into the fire
Never incinerate nor dispose of the cells in the fire. These may cause an explosion of the cells, which is very dangerous and is prohibited.
Prohibition of cells immersion into liquid such as water
The cells shall never be soaked with liquids such as water, seawater, drinks such as soft drinks, juices, coffee, or others.
