2 1. Introduction Working Based on existing CDMA/GSM /GPRS(cellular phone system) network and GPS satellites, this tracker is a small and powerful tracking device that is developed for personal, vehicle and pet protection. In addition to transmitting the longitude and latitude coordinate to your cell phone by SMS, The TL201 will also transmit the longitude and latitude coordinate to the designated server by GPRS. This allows users to track the TL201 using the Google map function of your cell phone and the TracUSA PC tracking software website. The TL201, when any of the three SOS buttons are depressed for 3-5 seconds, will
3 2. What’s new?  Mini size: Small enough to be attached to the key chain.  Excellent design: Especially design for personal use, especially tracking children.  Phone call function: It can make a phone call by pressing the button.  Get position by 3 ways: SMS location report using cell phone, server based tracking software (provided by TracUSA) and SMS link to Google Maps via smart phone. 3. Main Features  Locating and tracking via SMS(text messaging) or GPRS(internet connection)  Support voice call in SOS mode The TL201 is not a phone.

4 Band 700/800Mhz 850/900/1800/1900Mhz GPS chip SIRF3 chip GPS sensitivity -159dBm GPS accuracy 5-20m Cold start 42 sec. Warm starts 38 sec. Hot start 1 sec. Battery Chargeable 3.7V 870mAh battery Operation temperature -20°C to +55°C Humidity 5%--95% non-condensing 6. Start up: Fully charge the battery to capacity in 8 -12 hours (overnight) for the first use using the supplied USB/microUSB cable and 120VAC adapter. The USB end of the charging cable should never be connected to a computer while connected to the model TL201. This cable is strictly a charging cable for theTL201’s internal battery. Connecting the USB end of the charging cable to a computer while connected to the TL201 will void the warranty. . After the first use, the battery can be charged fully in 2-3 hours. In order to protect the device, use the original charger and battery, NEVER use an un-authorized charger. This WILL damage the unit and VOID the warranty. Contact TracUSA if original charger is lost or malfunctions. A fully charged battery will last 24-28 hours. When charging, the red light will come on, once charged…the red light will go off. Insert the SIM card into the tracker like this.
5 Press the on/off button for 2-5 seconds until the LED lights operate, then unit will be turned on. Three LEDs will be bright at the same time during the tracker initialization. In 10 to 30seconds, the unit will begin to work and indicators will blink as the following: Three LED Bright at the same time The device is starting Orange LED(GSM) Blink like Work in GSM mode Orange LED(GSM) Blink like Connecting GPRS Orange LED(GSM) Blink like connected to GPRS Red LED (power) Blink like Power on Blue LED (GPS) Blink like Receiving GPS signal  Initial GPS sync will work best outside of buildings. If impossible, once the unit has fully sync’d (blue light is blinking periodically) grab the TL201 and wave in a figure eight motion for 5-10 seconds. This is a similar command as seen with many smart phones with GPS location services. The figure eight wave will ensure a correct GPS antenna sync. This is very important and is suggested for each start up, only after all 3 lights have begun blinking periodically, when start up is inside a building. 7. Get the position by calling the tracker You can use a cell phone to call the SIM number (provided by TracUSA with delivery instructions) associated with the tracker for 3 seconds, then hang up the call before the tracker hangs up or answers. The tracker will reply a position SMS (text message) with latitude and longitude in it as a Google Earth link. The text message will be highlighted in green or blue, double click and your smart phones Google map will open to the trackers position. The tracker will not send a SMS (text message) location if you do not hang up the call before the tracker hangs up or answers your call. The TL201, in many ways is just like a mini cell phone. TracUSA, or its authorized reseller, will program the phone numbers authorized to request location reports from the tracker. This will be the information you have provided TracUSA at purchase. Once TracUSA has set the authorized numbers, the tracker will reply position SMS to the authorized cell phone numbers only. Suggested numbers include Mothers, Fathers and concerned/loved ones cellular phone numbers. These numbers must be chosen carefully, they are the numbers that will get the emergency SOS alert.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates ,uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: -Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. -Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. -Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. -Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. RF Exposure Information (SAR) This TracUSA model TL201 personal GPS tracking device / mobile phone meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves. This TracUSA model TL201 personal GPS tracking device/phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. *Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the phone/TracUSA model TL 201 personal GPS tracking device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone/ TracUSA model TL201 personal GPS tracking device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the TracUSA model TL201 personal GPS tracking device/ phone is designed to operate at multiple 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 lower the power output.
12 The highest SAR value for the TracUSA Model TL201 personal GPS tracking device/ phone as reported to the FCC when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is.929 W/kg .(Body-worn measurements differ among device models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements.) This device is not recommended for use on the ear per the user manual instructions. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this TracUSA Model TL201personal GPS tracking device/ phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this TracUSA Model TL201 personal GPS tracking device/ phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID YEATL201. For body worn operation, this TracUSA Model TL201 personal GPS tracking device/ phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and the positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from your body when the TracUSA Model TL201 personal GPS tracking device is switched on. This device is compliant with SAR for general population /uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1999 and had been tested in accordance with the measurement methods and procedures specified in OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C.
