Before You Getting Started
Possible Additional Fee
• Position request and position response sent by SMS will be charged.
• Each zoom operation will be charged also according to data quantity transferred.
About GPS
• GPS signals are incapable of penetrating solid objects that are non-transparent.
The signals will be also be affected by surface cover such as tall buildings, tunnels,
elevated expressways, forests etc., or weather conditions such as overcast and
rain. If the vehicle is poorly insulated against heat and contains metal parts, GPS
signals will not be able to penetrate.
• All wireless communication devices such as cell phones, or traffic police speed
detectors can interfere with the reception of GPS signals and results in unstable
signals.
• To get position fix successfully, please hold the GPS logo or function key up for
better signal orientation.
• There is no guaranty that SOS message will be successfully sent at distressed
environment where GPS or GSM signals are weak.
About Power
• Though this device is USB compliant and can be bus powered, it is NOT
recommended to charge the device though your computer via USB connection.
The manufacturer disclaims any liabilities for damage to the handset or personal
PC caused by any improper use.
• It takes 5 ~ 120 seconds for the device to be completely powered off. If the device
is in the process of acquiring position fix or position report, the power-offing will not
be performed until the previous process is complete.
• Tracker-007 cannot be powered on if battery voltage is below 3.5 volts.
For XP SP3 Users
• Due to the incompatibility problem between Windows XP SP3 and the virtual
Comm port of Windows driver, usbser.sys for XP SP2 is required for XP SP3
