Chapter 2 Functions and Operations
Thank you for purchasing this powerful product. Being a multi-functional GPS
tracking system, the operation of the handset might seem a little complicated at first.
7/14
We believe with a little time and practice, you can become efficient in using it. Before
using the handset, note the following features. The handset features prevention of
accidental key press. Every key needs to be pressed for over 0.5 second to activate
its function, and other extra functions won’t be activated without receiving short
messages in specified formats. Please refer to Chapter 4 for details about these
formats.
I. Emergency Response Mode
When you encounter an emergency and need aid, regardless of the
response mode, press down Emergency Key for one second and then
release it to automatically active GPS. After the GPS is positioned, the
current time and your longitude and latitude coordinates will be sent in the form
of a text message to the first three numbers in the phonebook in SIM card or to
the preset GSM Modem numbers. Relatives and friends who get this
message can set out to rescue you immediately.
If the GPS fails to position〈unable to position within one minute will be
indicated by Power Signal LED continuous flash〉, the handset will respond with
a text message that it fails to position and displays the previously positioned
latitude and longitude coordinates.
II. Automatic Response Mode
1. Moving Response
When the owner requires monitoring if the bringer of the handset has
moved beyond the preset range, he can preset its central position and
hand it over to the bringer. Before setting it, bring the handset to a location
that can be set as the central position, then press and hold both Speak
and Power Keys for two seconds and then release. This will
automatically activate the GPS. After it is positioned, the location is set
as the central position. The GPS will be automatically activated every
three minutes to check if the handset has moved. If the distance
between the handset and the central position is larger than the preset
range, the handset will send a text message consisting of its mode,
current longitude and latitude coordinates, speed, and time to the first
number in the phonebook in the SIM card or send to the preset GSM
Modem numbers. If there are two consecutive failures in positioning, the
handset will prompt you with a repeated message that it is unable to
position until positioning is available.
If the handset fails to set the central position〈unable to position within
one minute will be indicated by continuous flashing of the Power Signal
LED〉, the handset will not respond.
The range can be set by sending a text message cellular phone in the
specified format from regular cellular phones to the handset.
8/14
If the user doesn’t change the response mode, then even if it is turned
off and back on again, the handset will still be in moving response mode
and the central position remains unchanged.
2. Scheduled Response
When user requires monitoring of the handset’s position on the basis
of regular timing, the scheduled response can be activated and the time
interval between each response can be set by sending a text message
in the specified format to the handset. For details about the formats of
text messages, please refer to Chapter 4. The handset will activate GPS
positioning as scheduled and respond with a text message consisting of
its mode, current longitude and latitude coordinates, speed and time to the
first number in the phone book in the SIM card or to the preset GSM
Modem numbers.
If the handset fails to position〈The Power Signal LED will flash
continuously if it is unable to position within one minute〉, the handset will
respond with a text message indicating the handset fails to position and
displays the previously positioned longitude and latitude coordinates.
If the user doesn’t change the response mode, then even if it is turned
off and back on again, the handset will still be in scheduled response
mode and the time interval remains unchanged.
3. Over-speed Response
When user requires monitoring the handset’s speed, the over-speed
response can be activated and the speed limit can be set by sending a
text message in the specified format to the handset. For details about
the formats of text messages, please refer to Chapter 4. The handset will
activate GPS positioning every minute. If the handset’s speed is over the
preset speed limit, the handset will send a text message consisting of its
mode, current longitude and latitude coordinates, speed and time to the
first number in the phonebook in the SIM card or to the preset GSM
Modem numbers.
If there are two consecutive failures in positioning〈The Power Signal
LED will flash continuously if it is unable to position within one minute〉, the
handset will send a text message indicating the handset fails to position
and displays the previously positioned longitude and latitude coordinates.
If the user doesn’t change the response mode, then even if it is turned
off and back on again, the handset will still be in over-speed response
mode and the speed limit remains unchanged.
III. Called Response
When user requires information about the current position, status or other
settings of the product, regardless of the product mode, the product will send its
9/14
current longitude and latitude coordinates, status and settings in the form of a
text message by receiving a text message in the specified formats. It will
automatically activate GPS positioning after receiving the text message and
send this information to the first number in the phonebook in the SIM card or to
the preset GSM Modem numbers.
If it fails to position〈The Power Signal LED will flash continuously if it is
unable to position within one minute〉, the product will send a text message
stating that it fails to position and displays the previously positioned longitude
and latitude coordinates.
This function applies to all types of response modes.
IV. Voice Response
The handset will check if the incoming call is one of the first three numbers
in the phonebook of the SIM card when the user dials from other cellular
phones. If not, it will automatically hang up. If it is, the handset will notify the
user by a ringing tone. The user can press the Speak Key to answer the
phone. To hang up, press the key again. Please note that the handset’s
speaker is located at the rear.
This applies to all kinds of response modes.
V. Voice Call
The user can use the handset to dial up to three numbers maximum. After
turning on the handset, press the Speak Key once to dial the first number in the
phone book in the SIM card. Press the key twice to dial the second number
and press three times to dial the third. Please note that the time interval
between each press must be less than two seconds. After three seconds
the GSM Signal LED will start to flash. The user can then put the handset
near his ear, waiting for the person to answer the call. To hang up, press
Speak Key again. Please note that the handset’s speaker is located at the
rear.
This applies to all kinds of response modes.
VI. Low-Battery Response
If the user requires the handset to automatically respond when the battery is
low, the handset will send its mode, previously positioned longitude and latitude
coordinates, speed and time to the first number in the phonebook in the SIM
card or to the preset GSM Modem numbers. Each boot-up would respond
once at most.
This function can be activated or deactivated by itself and applies to all
kinds of response modes.
