1. Introduction
The GV300N is a powerful GPS locator designed for vehicle or asset tracking. It has superior
receiver sensitivity, fast TTFF (Time to First Fix) and supports quad band GSM frequencies
GSM850/GSM900/DCS/PCS. Its location can be monitored in real time or periodically tracked by
a backend server or other specified terminals. The GV300N has multiple input/output interfaces
that can be used for monitoring or controlling external devices. Based on the integrated @Track
protocol, the GV300N can communicate with a backend server through the GPRS/GSM network
to transfer reports of emergency, geo-fence boundary crossings, low backup battery and scheduled
GPS position as well as many other useful functions. Users can also use GV300N to monitor the
status of a vehicle and control the vehicle by its external relay output. System integrators can
easily set up their tracking systems based on the full-featured @Track protocol.
WARNING: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and

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.
FCC RF Exposure Statement:
For the product, under normal use condition is at least 20cm away from the body of the user,
the user must keeping at least 20cm distance to the product.

3.3. Install a SIM Card
Open the case and ensure the unit is not powered (unplug the 16Pin cable and switch the internal
battery to the OFF position). Slide the holder right to open the SIM card holder. Insert the SIM
card into the holder as shown below with the gold-colored contact area facing down. Take care to
align the cut mark. Close the SIM card holder. Close the case.

TRACGV300NUM001 - 15 -
3.5. Switch on the Backup Battery
To use the GV300N backup battery, the switch must be in the ON position. The switch on the case
and the ON/OFF position are shown below.
Figure 7. Switch and ON/OFF Position
Note:
1. The switch must be in the “OFF” position when the GV300N is shipped on an aircraft.
2. When the switch is in the “OFF” position, the battery cannot be charged or discharged.
3.6. Install the External GPS Antenna (Optional)
There is a SMA GPS antenna connector on GV300N. The GV300N will automatically detect and
use an external antenna when connected.

3.8. Ignition Detection
Table 7. Electrical Characteristics of Ignition Detection
Logical status Electrical characteristics
Active 5.0V to 32V
Inactive 0V to 3V or open
Figure 10. Typical Ignition Detection
IGN (Pin3) is used for ignition detection. It is strongly recommended to connect this pin to
ignition key “RUN” position as shown above.
An alternative to connecting to the ignition switch is to find a non-permanent power source that is
only available when the vehicle is running, for example, the power source for the FM radio.
IGN signal can be configured to start transmitting information to the backend server when ignition
is on, and enter the power saving mode when ignition is off.
3.9. Digital Inputs
There are three general purpose digital inputs on GV300N. They are all negative triggers.

Figure 15. Typical Connection with LED
Note:
1. OUT1 will latch the output state during reset.
2. Many modern relays come with a flyback diode pre-installed internal to the relay itself. If the
relay has this diode, ensure the relay polarity is properly connected. If this diode is not internal, it
should be added externally. A common diode such as a 1N4004 will work in most circumstances.
