- 11 - Choose/Input Com Port number ,and then Click “Open “button Click “Show Msg From” ,There will be pop-up window. It is used to check the commands what you have sent. 5.1.2 Version/Center Number/GPRS Network 5.1.2.1 Read Firmware Version Click “Read” button, you will get the firmware version.

- 12 - 5.1.2.2 SMS Center Number SMS Center Number(Primary SMS number) is used for getting the alert message/position data/reply message by SMS. The difference between SMS center Number and VIP number is that SMS Center Number can get location data. Note: 1) If the working mode is GPRS mode(standby/timing/vibration), SMS center number only be used for sending short message command and receiving the reply of short message command . 2) If the working mode is SMS mode(standby/timing/vibration), SMS center number is used for getting the position data/alert message/reply message. 5.1.2.3 VIP Numbers VIP number is used to get the alert message /reply message from JT600. CALL Ⅰ: Set the index 1 number CALL Ⅱ: Set the index 2 number Note:

- 13 - The first time you sent short message command to JT600,this cell phone number would be preset to CALL Ⅰ number. Only when the cell phone number is one of the VIP numbers and SMS center number, Can this number send short message command to JT600.Otherwise, the short message command would be omitted by JT600. 5.1.2.4 GPRS network parameters Refer to the default information. It‟s just a example. APN : access point name at local. CMNET is in china. And Please note: It is used for monitoring in control center. Only you set the working mode (GPRS mode),These parameters will be activated. 5.1.2.5 APN username and password Please ask the SIM card service provider to check if it has APN username and password. 5.1.2.6 Low Battery alert

- 14 - Input /select this value, when the power percent of the battery is low than this. There will be a Low Battery alert. It alerts twice. If JT600 is in GPRS mode, It will alert after 3 seconds .after about 20 minutes, It will alert again. 5.1.2.7 Adjust Voice Call volume Click the “+”,”-” to adjust the ring volume. 5.1.2.8 Another Name If you didn‟t set this, when you got a SMS reply from JT600.It just shows the unique ID. 5.1.2.9 Time difference

- 15 - 480 is a example in china. JT600 outputs Greenwich time. So If you didn‟t set time difference. The SMS message „s time is not correct. If it‟s ahead of Greenwich time. You can input a negative value. Like : -60 5.1.3 Working Mode/Data Uploading 5.1.3.1 Working Mode JT600 supports six modes. There are GPRS (standby /Vibration/Timing mode) and SMS(standby /Vibration/Timing mode). The detailed information about the six modes ,Refer to the section: 4.3Working mode. Default working mode is GRPS standby.

- 16 - Note: Because JT600 would be reboot If you set some one mode. So sometimes, You couldn‟t get the prompt message(” operation success”) 5.1.3.2 Data Uploading Interval Example: 10 seconds It means uploading position data every 10 sec. 0 it means uploading continuously. If you input 20 ,it means uploading 20 pieces of position data via SMS or GPRS, and then stop data transmitting. Before set the data uploading interval ,Please check the working mode you selected. If working mode is GPRS standby/vibration/timing ,Data would be sent to the monitor center via GPRS. If working mode is SMS standby/vibration/timing , Data would be sent to the SMS center via SMS. Note: If data is sent via SMS, We suggest the time interval should be more than 120 sec. and It‟s necessary to set the SMS center number (primary SMS number) If you want to get position data by SMS. 5.1.4 Self Geo-fence/Geo-fence 5.1.4.1 Self Geo-fence

- 17 - Self Geo-fence (only supported by GPRS standby and GPRS vibration mode) Only when the GPS signal is valid, then can you set this .and A circular geo-fence will be generated according to the current position, the radius is 300 meters. 5.1.4.2 Geo-fence Click “Load Google Map”, and You will see the Google map.

- 18 - JT600 supports 64 fences. Click “Edit” button, You can get longitude and latitude from the Google map Click “Set” button, and Set this Geo-fence. Click “Disable” button, You can disable this Geo-fence . Click “Read” button, You can get the Geo-fence information what you had set.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference. (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. 2. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. Designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,regardless of age and health. The exposure of measurement known as the Specific Absorption

- 34 - Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg and the CE is 2.0 W/kg. transmitting at its highest certified power level in all Your Portable GPS Tracker is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is at the highest certified power level, the well below the maximum value. This is power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
