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.
