How to operate it

The default user password is 111111.
If the user password is changed, the user should send the SMS command with the new user password instead of 111111.
XXX is the control code, all the letters must be capital letters or in small letters, command with mixed capital letter & the small letter is not recognized by the system
Authorize the Alarm-received Phone No.
SMS command: 11111110 Mobile #120 Mobile #230 Mobile #3
In case of alarm, if the user wants to get the alarm SMS from the tracker, he/she needs to send the following SMS to program the tracker firstly, otherwise, the alert information can’t be received correctly.
Example: User sends the SMS 11111110139227135712018902267400* to the tracker’s SIM card number, if there is an alarm, the system will send SMS to both of these two mobiles. In the case of SOS alarm, the system will only send an alarm to mobile #2 & mobile #3.
Arm/Disarm by Phone Calling
Users could also use the 1st alarm-received mobile phone to call the tracker’s SIM card number, so as to arm/disarm the system.
Arm: After hearing several ring tones, if the systems hang up the call automatically, and call back you, it means that the system is armed.
Disarm: After hearing several ring tones, if the system hangs up the call automatically, and doesn’t call back you, it means that the system is disarmed.
Note:
(1) There is no communication fee for this operation, it is a very convenient way to arm & disarm the system.
(2)The SIM card inside the device must have the function of Caller ID Display.
(3) Only the 1st alarm-received mobile phone can realize this function.

Check the Vehicle’s Status
SMS command: 111111CHK (or 111111chk)
This instruction is used to inquiry about the vehicle’s location & system’s status.
The system will send back the SMS, including similar information, such as “Armed……”
Arm/Disarm the System by SMS
SMS command: 111111ARM (or 111111arm)
This SMS instruction is used to arm the system
When the system is armed, the movement alert is activated automatically.
When the motorcycle/car moves, the alarm will be triggered.
SMS command: 111111DSM (or 111111dsm)
This command is used to disarm the system & stop sending alert SMS.
Check the location by Google Map’s URL
SMS command: 111111MAP (or 111111map)
Upon receiving the SMS command, the tracker will automatically send back the SMS including the Google map’s URL, user can use a smartphone (GPRS data service is enabled)  to open the URL link, the car’s location will be shown on the Google map.
Users can also use the 2nd alarm-received phone to call the tracker; the tracker will send back the same content with a Google link.
Stop the Car by SMS
SMS command: 111111STP (or 111111stp)
This instruction is used to stop the motorcycle/car safely. If the car speed is
higher than 30Km/h, it will not carry out until the speed is lower than 30Km/h.
Restore the Stopped Car to Normal Status
SMS command: 111111RES (or 111111res)
It is used to restore the car to normal status after being stopped.
Check the Real Physical Address
SMS command: 111111ADD (or 111111add)
Users can program the tracker to work with our platform. Once connected, the user can send this SMS command to get the actual address which is translated by the platform.. Remark: (1) The GPRS data service of the tracker’s SIM card must be activated, and the correct GPRS setting is needed (refer to the chapter of the setting of GPRS connection); (2) The physical address depends on the map of the platform.
Change User Password
SMS command : 111111PSWnnnnnn (or 111111pswnnnnnn)
This instruction is used to change the user password. The length of the user’s password is 3~6 digits. Users are suggested to change to the new password in use.
Example: User sends the SMS “111111PSW12345” to the system SIM card number, and gets the confirmed SMS “111111PSW12345” in 3 seconds. It means that the user password has been changed to 12345.
Remark: Please keep the password deep in mind if it is changed.
Odometer
SMS command: 111111ODO:
It is used to read the present odometer
SMS command: 111111ODO:X
It is used to set the basic value of the odometer
Over-speed Alert
111111SPD:X x is the speed in KM/H, the maximum value is 255KM/H (For example, 111111SPD:120, if the car speed is over 120KM/H, it will send alert SMS to warn you).
111111SPD:0 to disable the over-speed alert. It is the default setting.
111111SPD: to check the setting of an over-speed alert.
When the car speed is higher than the speed value, it will trigger the over- speed alarm.

III. The Setting for GPRS Connection
The GPRS setting is necessary for using the following 2 functions:
(1) Check the car’s real physical address by sending 111111ADD
(2) Online tracking service by web-based tracking platform
SMS format:
111111WWW: IPN:X; COM:X; APN: and, user, password; RPT:X; SLP:X; RUN:X;

• IDN: The tracker’s ID, it is the last 14 digits of IMEI which can’t be changed.

•  IPN: The IP address or domain name of the GPRS server

•  COM: The communication port for the GPRS server

•  APN: The Access Point Name for the GSM SIM card.

•  RPT: The interval for the uploading GPRS packet (Unit: sec.)

•  SLP: The interval for uploading GPRS packet when Engine is OFF. (unit: sec.);

•  RUN: GPRS connection setting. 0=close, 1=TCP.
  For example, if the server is: www.51track.com, TCP port is 8500, APN is web.gprs,mtnnigeria.net, and user: web, and password: web, the time interval is 60 seconds, Then the command is:
  111111WWW:IPN:www.51track.com;COM:8500;APN:web.gprs.mtnnigeria.net, web,web;RPT:60;SLP:60;RUN:1;
  Users can send one or more options at the same SMS commands, such as:

• 111111WWW: IPN:X; COM:X;
  This is to set the server’s address and port separately.
  Example: 111111WWW:IPN:www.51track.com; COM:8500;

• 111111WWW: ABN:X;
  The tracker can automatically detect most of the APNs of GSM operators in the world. But for some operator SIM cards, you need to set it manually. Please use “,” to separate the APN, APN username & APN password. Example: 111111WWW：APN：web.gprs.mtnnigeria.net,web,web;

• 111111WWW: RPT:X;
  This is to set the upload time interval. The unit is second, the minimum value is 10 seconds. The default setting is 60
  Example: 111111WWW: RPT:60; SLP:300 ；(Upload time interval: Engine ON: 60s, Engine OFF: 300seconds)

• 111111WWW: RUN:X;
  X=0; is to close down the GPRS;
  X=1; is to open the GPRS via TCP
  E.g.: 111111WWW： RUN：1； (Open the TCP connection)

• 111111WWW:
  You can send 111111WWW: to check the GPRS settings.

Installation

The Wiring diagram of MT05S

Notes:
(1). The relay’s control output (P1 & P2. no polarity) has 2 kinds of connections. It can be used to cut off the engine ignition loop or the fuel pump’s power supply loop.
(2). Please place the side with a GPS pattern up to the sky. so that it can get a good GPS signal.

Installation Steps:

1.  Please read the manual carefully before installation. Please prepare a valid GSM SIM card with Caller ID Display & GPRS function;
2.  Please use a screwdriver to open the cover of the box;
3.  Insert the valid GSM SIM card, then turn on the backup battery switch;
4.  Close the cover, and fix the main unit tightly with the wiring harness at the correct place, please make sure that the side with GPS antenna(with satellite icon) is placed upside to the sky or away from the metal materials, please make sure to install the main unit at a broad place so that it can receive GPS signal well. For motorcycles, it is better to install inside the head bulb light where there is a power supply and waterproof. For vehicles, it is better to install inside the upper rim of the driving room or inside the dashboard. The recommended installation place is shown in the following picture:
5.  Do the wring connection according to the diagram;
6.  Call the SIM card, to check if rings, if not, then check the power supply and the change the place of installation;
7.  If it rings when calling the SIM card, then send SMS to the tracker to check the GPS coordinate, if the GPS location is not correct, then fix the main unit to another place so that it can receive a better GPS signal.
8.  IMPORTANT: The side with a GPS antenna(satellite icon) must be placed upside to the sky and kept away from the metal materials, otherwise, it can’t get GPS signal well.
