Wire Definition

Installation Guide

• SIM Card Pre-Installation Note
• SIM card data service should be enabled.
• If the SIM card is locked via PIN, please unlock it first.
• Ensure there is sufficient balance in the SIM card.
• SIM card installation
• Open the rubber stopper on the side
• Insert the SIM card by following the direction icon on the tracker cover
• Give a little push to the SIM card. When there is a “click” sound, it stands for the SIM card has been successfully inserted

Installation

• Away from emission sources such as all kinds of sensors, burglar alarms,s, and other communication devices.

Quick Trouble Shooting

• Unable to Connect to the Tracking Platform
• Check the APN and IP settings.
• Check the SIM card whether supports a specific network and the data service whether is enabled.
• Make sure there is no limitation or already added server IP to the IP whitelist when using an M2M SIM card.
• Check the remaining balance or network signal of the SIM card.

Tracker Shows Offline

• Check the external power voltage to see whether the tracker is disconnected from external power.
• Check whether the vehicle entered the network blind area.
• Check the balance of the tracker SIM card.
• 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 maximum data usage volume.
• Unable to locate
• Is the top side (with the TOP SIDE logo on) facing upwards without being shielded by metallic things during the installation?
• Does the vehicle enter an area with no satellite coverage?
• Location Drift In an area with a poor GNSS signal (like the areas with lots of high buildings), location drift may happen. When moving to an open area, the drift will no longer exist.
• No Command Reply
• Check the command format. Make sure it’s correct.
• The vehicle may be in a network blind area.
• Ensure the SIM card is properly inserted.

Warranty and Stock

• The standard warranty period is 12 months starting from the date of purchase. If the tracker will be stored for a long time, please connect it to the external power and recharge the internal battery (10 hours) every 3 months.
• It will be helpful to the internal battery life.
