Introduction GL300 is a powerful GPS Tracker designed for asset, vehicle, and pet tracking. With superior receive sensitivity, fast TTFF (Time to First Fix) and Quad band GSM frequencies 850/900/1800/1900, its location can be continuously monitored or periodically reported to a backend server or other device. Based on the embedded @Track protocol, the GL300 can communicate with the backend server through the GPRS/GSM network (or SMS) to report emergency alerts, Geo-Fence boundary crossings, low battery and scheduled GPS positions along with several other advanced reporting features. System integrators can easily setup their custom tracking platforms to communicate with the GL300 based on the @Track protocol. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Its operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Note: This product has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This product 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 product 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. Please take attention that changes or modification not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
