Trouble Shooting
- The history tracking data on our server will keep up to 3-6 months, the old data will be deleted.
- If the car status is kept offline when the object is moving, and the location did not change, please confirm the SIM card in the tracker has been enabled GPRS function and has enough call credit in it, and the APN has been set by your tracker SIM card mobile phone using guide, and please keep the tracker outside to receive the GPS signal and GSM signal, if the tracker is moving, it will upload location to server, but if the tracker stop moving, it will not upload tracking to the server and go to offline status. If the tracker Green LED keep ON, it means no GSM network, if the Green LED flashes twice, it means GPS signal weak.
- If the tracker can not reply SMS, please confirm the SIM card in tracker has been enabled caller ID display & SMS function and have enough money, also please confirm the command and password is right.
- The tracker is not online all the time, this is normal, the tracker built in shock sensor to control GPS and uploading, if the tracker stop moving 2 minutes, the tracker will turn off GPS and go to standby mode, this can save car battery power & GPRS data charge, if the tracker begin moving, it will upload location to server immediately, and the status will change to online immediately.
- If you forget your login password or user name, or can not login the platform any more, please confirm your service date is not expired, if still can not login, please contact your dealer or distributor to reset password or recharging for the platform service.
- Can not logon the platform, sending SMS (ID*12345678 or *CHECK12345678)** to tracker to check tracker’s ID, the user name is the last 7 digit of the ID, and the password is same with user name, if still can not logon, please contact dealer or us. For example the ID is : 1451217388, then the user name is :1217388, and password is : 1217388 or 123456.
- In some place, GPS signal & GSM signal maybe not very good, in the transmit process, some tracking point maybe lost, this is normal, but this will not happen very often.
- The mileage in the vehicle running report is calculated from GPS data, and the precision is not very high, maybe it has some difference with the mileage meter.
