Charging the battery
Before using your S-911 Personal Locator, charging the battery is necessary.
Without fully charging the unit it may not turn on at first attempt. We
recommend 3-4 hours to fully charge the unit.
When the battery voltage drops to 3.0V, the S-911 Low Battery Alert LED
(Red Status LED) will flash to warn the user to charge the S-911 device so
that the device may continue to work. When the battery voltage drops to
2.8V, the S-911 microcontroller will turn off the device to prevent the battery
from over-discharging. It is recommended to connect the S-911 to the
charger whenever possible.
While on charge, the Battery Charge
Management System will engage the Floating Charge Mode. In this mode,
the microcontroller will monitor the battery and engage charging when the
voltage drops below 3.6V.
When the battery charger is plugged in, the Red Status LED will be on to
indicate that the S-911’s battery charging procedure is activated.
To charge the battery, plug the universal travel type (100-220AC) AC
adaptor into a wall outlet. Then plug the charger’s cable connector into the
Data Port of the S-911, as shown in the picture. The LED of the charger
adaptor will blink between green and red which indicates that charging is in
progress. The LED will turn to green when the charging process is complete.
Laipac™ S-911 Personal Locator™ – User’s Manual & Reference Guide
Inserting the SIM card
A valid SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card must be provided by the user
in order to use this device. Your GSM Mobile phone carrier will give you one
when you subscribe. The SIM card must be a 3V SIM. The S-911 personal
locator is not compatible with the older 5V version SIM cards. Your SIM card
will contain account information such as your phone number, network
information, SMS settings … etc.
Notes: Your provider for location based service may supply you with an S911 personal locator which has a SIM card already inside. If so do not open
the case or the warranty may be void. The S-911 personal locator® is
designed to be a robust and anti-vandalism personal safety device. It is
unlike a cell phone where the battery may be easily removed. The user will
find that in most situations, the SIM card has been installed by the distributor
or service provider along with a warranty seal.
If you need to insert a SIM card into your unit:
1. Remove the main screw
Main
Screw
2. Use your fingers to open the case as shown in the picture below.
10
Laipac™ S-911 Personal Locator™ – User’s Manual & Reference Guide
3. Follow the pictures for the placement of the SIM card.
Note: Please be as cautious as possible during this process because the
internal circuitry may be damaged by excessive Electrostatic Discharge
(ESD).
Press and Push the SIM card holder with one finger toward right.
Lift the top holder and place the SIM card face down as shown.
11
Laipac™ S-911 Personal Locator™ – User’s Manual & Reference Guide
Close the top holder and push to the left to close the SIM card holder.
Non-Contact Slip
Remove the Non-Contact Slip inside the back case.
Close the case carefully and replace the main screw.
Congratulations! Now your S-911 is ready to go!
Note: Please ensure that your SIM card is activated, and GPRS service is available. Please contact your
GSM Network Service provider for assistance.

Laipac™ S-911 Personal Locator™ – User’s Manual & Reference Guide
Operating the S-911
Do not proceed any further unless you have completed the preceding steps.
Once you have inserted a valid SIM card, and fully charged the battery than
you are ready to operate the S-911 Personal Locator® Once the cover is
closed the 3 LEDs will blink sequentially to indicate that the unit is working
with the battery.
Powering up the S-911 Personal Locator™
1. To turn the unit on press the Power button
and hold for 2
seconds. The Status LED will turn on and the GPS and GSM LEDs will
also blink.
2. Press and hold the Power button
for 2 seconds and the Status
LED
will turn on and off and then the unit will shut down.
Notes:
1. The Status LED
will turn on and off each time a command is
processed. A command can be issued by pressing a button or executing a
tracking task. This is to acknowledge that the task has been processed. Try
not to over-press buttons when the Status LED is on. The S-911 personal
locator will ignore repeated actions such as pressing the same button
multiple times in a short period. It will attempt to respond only to a valid
action.
2. The GSM LED
will be red when there is no SIM card inside the S-911
Personal Locator. Place a valid SIM card inside the unit (see steps above) and
the GSM LED will blink to show that the unit has been registered with the
GSM network.
3. The GPS LED
will blink green once the unit is on. When the GPS LED
stops blinking and stays green the S-911 Personal Locator has achieved a
valid GPS location. The S-911 uses a highly sensitive GPS receiver with a 360
degree high gain GPS antenna. It’s unlike other commercial products in that
the S-911 can be facing any direction and still receive a valid GPS position.
In most situations the S-911 needs a direct line of site to open sky to have a
short cold start time. Once the unit gets a valid GPS position (GPS LED is
constantly green), the user no longer needs to maintain a line of sight to
13
Laipac™ S-911 Personal Locator™ – User’s Manual & Reference Guide
open sky. The user may then go indoors, under a bridge, inside a vehicle, or
navigate through urban environments and the S-911 will continue to keep a
valid GPS position. Users must be aware that the S-911 is not yet a 100%
indoor GPS system. Real life applications may present situations where RF
noise, RF interference, and other conditions may affect the performance of
the GPS while indoors.

them.
3. If the device is recognized, can you check which virtual com port is
assigned to the S-911 device? You can check it by going to: PC>Start->Control Panel->System->Hardware->Device Manager->
If you check the Universal Serial Bus controllers, you will find: Laipac
S-911 USB Composite Device
If you check Ports (COM & LPT), you will find: Laipac S-911 USB to
UART Bridge Controller (COMX), X could be 4, 5, 6,7…
4. Make sure that Windows assigned a virtual com port for the S-911,
then open Hyper-terminal and configure the S-911 device to use the
corresponding com port to connect to the S-911 device. Failure to do
so will prevent communication setup.
Tips: When you unplug the S-911 from the PC and plug it in again you
will find there is no output on the Hyper-terminal. In this case, please
press the disconnect button on the Hyper-terminal tools bar and press the
connect button. The text output should appear again.
Q: I can see the output data from the S-911 on Hyperterminal, but when I type on the keyboard on the PC, the
S-911 does not respond.
A: First, please check if you are using a correct DB9 cable, the right serial
cable should be a strait-through cable not a crossover cable.
Second, please check Hyper-terminal’s configuration: menu File>Properties->Configure->Flow Control, it should be set to NONE. If
you set it to Hardware this will cause the S-911 not to respond.
Q: I cannot switch the S-911 device to GPRS mode.
A:
1 Please check that your SIM card’s GPRS service is activated
2 Ensure the GSM Red LED is flashing which indicates the GSM modem
is on the GSM network
3 Check the GPRS parameters like GPRS dial number, APN, APN user
name, APN password which should all be provided by you GSM
service provider (carrier)

4. Make sure the GPRS server’s IP and the port number you input to
the S-911 is correct. If you are using Laipac’s GPRS server the IP =
64.119.108.239 and the port number= 80
Q: I cannot switch the S-911 device from GPRS mode to SMS
mode.
A: Press Shift + SOS button, then you can switch back to SMS mode
from GPRS mode. The GPRS Status LED will turn off when the mode
switch operation has completed.
Q: My S-911 client software connects to Laipac’s GPRS server, the
maps opened, but the S-911 device is not shown on the map.
A:
1. Check the GPRS Status LED, if it is not ON, then the S-911 is
working in SMS mode or has failed to connect in GPRS mode. Only
when the S-911 device is working in GPRS mode can the S-911 be
shown on the map. Check the GPRS parameters like APN, APN
Username, APN Password, GPRS Server IP and Port number etc.
2. Check the Device ID. The Device ID programmed into the S-911
device should match what is in the S-911 client software database. If
they do not match, the S-911 device won’t be shown on the map. To
change the S-911’s Device ID, you should use the USB cable to
connect the S-911 to the Hyper-terminal. To change the Device ID
inside the S-911 client software, go to C:\Program
Files\Laipac\Laipac S-911\S-911.mdb, open the S-911.mdb file, then
open table Units, change the Device ID then exit.
3. Don’t forget to use the mouse to highlight the S-911 device that
you want to track, forgetting doing this will cause the client software
not show the device on the map even though the report message has
arrive at the client software from the device.
