LAMAX GPS Locator Controls

1. LED
2. Microphone
3.  Reset button
4. Speaker
5. SIM card cover screw
6. Nano SIM card slot
7. Power connector (magnetic)
8. SOS button; On / Off

1) Switching on the device
– To switch on the device, hold down the „SOS button“ for at least 5 seconds.
– If no SIM card is inserted in the device, the device vibrates and the blue LED in the center lights up.
– If a SIM card is inserted, the device vibrates, the blue LED in the center lights up, and there is an audible beep.
– If the blue LED on the device does not flash after switching on, the status of the device can be verified by tapping the „SOS button“. If the device is switched on, the „LED“ lights up briefly.
Note: If the device is not connected to the network, the LED flashes continuously at approximately 1-second intervals.
2) Switching off the device
a) No SIM card inserted in the LAMAX GPS Locator / no signal (LED flashes at 1-second intervals).
– Hold down the „SOS button“ for at least 5 seconds to switch off the device.
b) SIM card inserted in the LAMAX GPS Locator / with the signal.
– Switching off cannot be done in the same way as without a SIM card inserted or if the device has no signal. This measure prevents the LAMAX GPS Locator from being easily and accidentally switched off manually by the user. Pressing the SOS button for 5 seconds in this case initiates an SOS call to the set SOS contact numbers in the LAMAX Tracking application.
– In this case, there are 2 ways to switch off the LAMAX GPS Locator

1. Press the „SOS button“ 10 times in succession and the device switches off within 3 seconds.
2. Switch off the LAMAX GPS Locator remotely via the LAMAX Tracking application (Menu → Remote device shutdown).

Getting Started

– Insert the Nano SIM card into the device as shown below.

Unscrew the screw on the plastic protective cover on the body of the device (Figs. 1 and 2).
Pull to unlock and open the metal cover located in the Nano-SIM slot.
Insert the Nano SIM card (Fig. 3) with the chip towards the device according to the cut corner of the SIM card and the layout of the SIM slot.
After inserting the SIM card, close the metal cover and pull to lock it. Then screw the plastic protective cover back on.
– Turn on the device by holding the „SOS button“ for at least 5 seconds.
– If the blue LED is off or has stopped, proceed to the next section Installing the LAMAX Tracking application and Registration.
IMPORTANT WARNING
– The SIM card must have a disabled PIN code and an activated data plan. If you are unsure, you can verify the functionality on your mobile phone.
– To receive calls on the device, it is necessary to set contacts in the LAMAX Tracking mobile application.
– Do not open, repair, or disassemble the device other than as instructed in this manual. Unauthorized handling of the device will void the warranty.

3. Section 6 „Positioning“

LAMAX GPS Locator Environment and Functions

1. Operation
   Operating the LAMAX GPS Locator is very simple using the „SOS button“, the „Reset button“ and the LAMAX Tracking application. Everything else happens in the background without needing to handle the device.

2. SOS button
   The physical „SOS button“ (see section LAMAX GPS Locator Control) is primarily intended for dialing a stored SOS contact and sending an SOS notification to the LAMAX Tracking application when a threat is felt. The SOS function is activated by pressing and holding the „SOS button“ for 5 seconds. If two SOS contacts are entered, and the device cannot get through to the first number entered, it will automatically call the second. Before dialing, a notification will also be sent to the LAMAX Tracking mobile application.
   Note: To dial an SOS contact, at least one number must be entered in: (Menu → Current device settings → Default SOS contacts).

3. Reset button
   The reset button on the side of the LAMAX GPS Locator is used to restore it when it does not respond to switching on/off or charging. Caution: do not confuse it with the „SOS button“. It is necessary to use a blunt thin object (such as a paper clip) to press the reset button. You only need to press the „SOS button“ once. After pressing the reset button, connect the LAMAX GPS Locator to the charger and turn it on.

4. LED
   The diode is located in the middle of the LAMAX GPS Locator on the top and is used to indicate the status of the device. Checking that the device is switched on is performed by pressing the „SOS button“ once. If the device is not connected to the network, the LED lights up at regular
   one-second intervals.

5. Time announcement
   This function is used to announce the time and must be activated in the LAMAX Tracking application (Menu → Current device settings → Time voice announcement). This function is activated by pressing the „SOS button“ twice.

Further Features of the LAMAX GPS Locator

1. Monitored areas
   In the LAMAX Tracking application, it is possible to set „Monitored areas“ (Menu → Device Geofence). After visiting or leaving the set monitored area, the user of the application will receive a notification about this event. For more information on setting this function, refer to the LAMAX Tracking instructions.

2.   Whitelist
   By setting up the phonebook in the LAMAX Tracking mobile application (Menu → Current device settings → Whitelist) you add the option to call the locator from the entered numbers. Set „Administrator phone number“ if you want to block incoming calls from numbers that are not in the contact list (Menu → Current device settings → Administrator phone number). If you do not set an „Administrator phone number“, you can call the device from any phone number.
   IMPORTANT WARNING
   As part of the initial setup of the application, do not forget to enter your and other necessary phone numbers in the LAMAX Tracking application (Menu → Current device settings → Whitelist), otherwise you will not be able to call the LAMAX GPS Locator. Do not forget to fill in the SOS contacts for the correct functionality of the SOS function, see 4.2. (Menu → Current device settings → Default SOS contacts)

3. Do not disturb / school mode
   By activating the „Do not disturb / school mode“ in the LAMAX Tracking application (Menu → Current device settings → Do not disturb), the functionality of the device is reduced at set time intervals (e.g.: teaching time/after-school activities) to just using the „SOS button“ and the device cannot be called. This feature can be turned off at any time by deleting time intervals.

4. Finding the device
   With the „Find device“ feature, you can easily locate a device you cannot find. After activating this function in the LAMAX Tracking mobile application (Menu → Current device settings → Find a locator), the device will start ringing.

5. Remote shutdown
   The LAMAX Locator can be shut down remotely via the LAMAX Tracking application (Menu → Remote shutdown).

6. Power saving mode
   This mode turns off the automatic refreshing of all location services. However, it is still possible to use a manual position reset on the main screen using the icon .
   „Power save“ can be found in the LAMAX Tracking app (Menu → Current device settings → Maximum power saving).

Positioning

The LAMAX GPS Locator uses 3 positioning methods:

1. GPS – Primary
   GPS refers to the process of determining the position of the device at a specific point in time using Global Positioning System (GPS) data. Location accuracy ranges from 5 meters to 30 meters based on signal strength. This is the most accurate type of positioning. For GPS to function properly, the device must be located outside buildings or other covered areas.

2. Wi-Fi – Secondary
   Wi-Fi location is used when the device is located inside a building or other area where a GPS signal is not available, but Wi-Fi networks are. Location accuracy ranges up to 300 meters. This location function works on the principle of reading the surrounding Wi-Fi networks and subsequent positioning using their names.

3. LBS – Tertiary
   LBS positioning is used when GPS or Wi-Fi location is not available. The position is determined by the nearest mobile network (GSM)  transmitters. LBS- based positioning accuracy is up to 1000 meters.
   Note : In LAMAX Tracking, you can turn Wi-Fi and LBS positioning on and off individually (MENU → Current device settings → General device settings → Do not use LBS or Do not use Wi-Fi). However, we recommend that this only be done situationally. In cities, we recommend always leaving at least Wi-Fi positioning on and at least LBS outside cities, due to the lower density of Wi-Fi coverage in the countryside/villages. If you keep both location services on (Wi-Fi and LBS), the device always selects the available location method in the following order (GPS → Wi-Fi → LBS).
