1. Product overview
Welcome to purchasing our product!
The vehicle and personal location tracker has the advantages of low power, 15 days standby
without charging, small size, easy to use and supports two-way communication. It is specially
applies for elderly/kid tracking, personnel management, assert tracking, vehicle positioning,
etc.
Tracker has built-in terminals of GPS (global positioning system) module and GSM
communication module, which used for getting location data and send it to authorized phone
number via SMS, and tracking through free maps Google Earth or Google Map; If your mobile
phone is smart phone and opened with GPRS service, it is more convenient to see location of
the tracker on smart phone by setting the SMS location format to be Google Link. At the
same time, the GPRS data can be sent to the Internet server, which can realize the checking,
monitoring and managing of the tracker on computer.
The tracker supports three working modes: personal mode, smart mode, vehicle mode.
Please use personal mode if you want to tracking up to 15 hours standby time in an empty
environment
Please use smart mode if you want to track less than 14 hours or in crowded environment
(with many building around)
Please use vehicle mode when it working in the car, connect MINI USB cable with tracker
and the car so it can track long time and keep in mind that it is better to hide it on a place
with good GPS signal (example: under the windshield)
