2. Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the ATrack AX9 GPS device, combining with the most comprehensive
and economical vehicle diagnostics technology, which provides real-time engine monitoring. The engine
diagnostic data is collected through the vehicle's OBD-II communication port and is transmitted along with
GPS data to the control center over a mobile network, for instance, GSM, GPRS, UMTS or CDMA. In this way,
potential engine problems can be identified earlier before the vehicle breaks down at an inopportune time.
Furthermore, you may configure other advanced driving behavior events such as harsh braking, sudden
acceleration, speeding, cornering, and much more in order to reduce the risks of vehicle damage and drive
down the costs of fuel.
Depending on your needs, the AX9 will come with an embedded Bluetooth module (refer to Chapter 6 for
more information). This user manual is intended to guide you through the installation and configuration
process. It also highlights the hardware features and Bluetooth applications.

Package Content
When you open the package, verify that you received the following:
 AX9 Device * 1
 USB Cable * 1
3.2. AX9 OBD-II Compliant
OBD-II is a set of standards and practices defined by SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) in the early 1990s. But
some automobile manufactures do not follow it completely. Therefore, ATrack cannot guarantee each vehicle’s
OBD-II connected performance. For more information about the AX9 OBD-II compliance, please refer to the “ATrack
AX Series OBD-II Compliant Guide” document for details.

4. Hardware Features
4.1. OBD-II Protocol
There are five signaling protocols that are permitted with the OBD-II interface. Most vehicles have been
implemented with only one of the protocols. The AX9 features a superior protocol detection algorithm that ensures
the device connects reliably even to vehicles that do not fully conform to the OBD‐II standards. The AX9 supports
the following legislated OBD-II protocols:

J1850 PWM (Ford vehicles)

J1850 VPW (GM vehicles)

ISO9141-2 (Asian, European, Chrysler vehicles)

ISO 14230-4 KWP

ISO 15765-4 CAN (11/29 bit ID,250/500 Kbaud)
The AXTool provides the “OBD Live Data” viewer for showing OBD data in real time. Refer to Section 5.2 for details.
4.2. Mini USB Port and Driver Installation
The Mini USB connection is used for the following purposes: configuring parameters and firmware upgrade. When
the AX9 is connected to your laptop/PC via a Mini USB cable, the OBD-II and GSM/GPRS functions are switched off
unless the main power is applied to the AX9 at the same time. The following figure shows the position of AX9’s USB
port.

the process.
4.3. Buzzer Operation
The internal buzzer of the AX9 can be configured by any events or triggered by a remote server. Refer to the ATrack
Protocol Document for details. When a device is configured and plugged into an OBD-II DLC connector, it performs
some basic function tests. You can simply verify whether it is installed properly via buzzer indication. Please refer to
the following table for details:
Buzzer Indication
Description
Beep 1 time
Device Power ON
Beep 2 times
OBD Protocol Connected
Beep 3 times
GSM/GPRS Connected
Beep 4 times
GPS Fix
4.4. Power Supply
The AX9 device is connected to the OBD-II SAE J1962 connector of a vehicle and draws power from the OBD port.
No additional power cabling is required for the operation. If the OBD port of a vehicle is covered or you need to
install AX9 in another place for better GPS reception, the optional low profile OBD-II extension cable is required.

6. Bluetooth Applications
In this section, we will walk you through on how to set up a Bluetooth connection between your AX9 and your
Android mobile/PC.
6.1. Using an Android Mobile to Connect to your AX9
For this demonstration purpose, we will use the "Bluetooth SPP Pro" app, which can be downloaded from this
website address: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.dzs.android.BLE_SPP_PRO&hl=en
A 2-D barcode for your phone to scan and download from market:
After the installation, launch the app which scans for
available Bluetooth devices. The AX9 device is listed
Tap on the area marked in red, then the device details
on the list as shown below:
are shown as below:
Tap on the Connect button.

Tap on CMD line mode.
The command prompt shows up:
After a successful connection, you can see a response message showing "Rxd>AX9 Bluetooth Connected".
By default, there is no password. Therefore, the AT$BTEN command may be used to setup a password for a
Bluetooth authentication. If a password is set, then a password prompt would be shown and you would need
to type your password in order to communicate with the device.
6.2.
Using a PC to connect to your AX9
In this example, Windows 8 is used for this demonstration. The same principle can also be applied when
installing a device on a Windows 7 platform. At first, you need to have Hyper-Terminal installed. Next, power
up the AX9 device, and then on your PC, go to Control Panel -> Devices and Printers -> right click on a
blank space and select Add devices and printers. Double click on AX9 SPP to install the device.

Select Services in order to check which COM port the device is connected to. In this example, the device is
connected via COM11.
Launch the Hyper-Terminal and select COM11. Please select the following settings during the connection
setup.

Once it is connected, there is a response message showing "AX9 Bluetooth Connected". You can issue
some AT commands later on.
6.3.
Bluetooth Commands
AT$BTEN=, 
: 0 - SPP Profile (Default)
: 4 characters password for connection authorization.
Example: Set "1234" for the Bluetooth connection password
AT$BTEN=0,"1234"
After connecting to the AX9, you will need to input the password with the ending characters
 and send the password to the AX9 in order to establish the connection. This password
sending has to be done within 1 minute after a successful pairing. A failure will result in
disconnection and cause the pairing process to repeat again.
