NNoottee: When device is the first time power on (plugged in), it will scan OBD protocol according to pre-configured working mode (ie, passenger car or heavy duty mode), the maximum scanning time can be up to 10 minutes, if no OBD protocol is detected during this period, device will auto change working mode to tracker mode, if OBD protocol is detected, device will keep its working
IDD-213W User Manual 15 mode. After auto scanning period device will not change working mode anymore even it is re-plugged, unless working mode is re-configured with PC Tool, via SMS, or from server. If tracker mode is pre-configured device will not scan OBD protocol and keep working with tracker mode unless working mode is re-configured. There comes 6 beeps indicating that device is working with tracker mode. **IIff GGPPSS ddooeess nnoott wwoorrkk, please use OBD extension cable and mount the device in a proper place to make sure GPS signal can be well received. **IIff ddaasshhbbooaarrdd lliigghhttss aarree aabbnnoorrmmaall aafftteerr iinnssttaallllaattiioonn,, pplleeaassee rreemmoovvee tthhee ddeevviiccee aanndd ccoonnttaacctt SSiinnooccaasstteell tteecchhnniiccaall tteeaamm. **DDoo nnoott pplluugg oorr uunnpplluugg ddeevviiccee wwhheenn eennggiinnee iiss oonn,, tthhiiss mmaayy ccaauussee uunnpprreeddiiccttaabbllee pprroobblleemm.. **AAfftteerr eennggiinnee ooffff ddeevviiccee ggooeess iinnttoo sslleeeepp mmooddee,, wwhhiillee iitt ssttiillll kkeeeeppss wwoorrkkiinngg iinn oorrddeerr ttoo ddeetteecctt eennggiinnee oonn,, tthhee ccuurrrreenntt ccoonnssuummppttiioonn iinn sslleeeepp iiss 1100mmAA..

They can be enabled or disabled separately, only sampled by time interval is enabled by default. The sample rate for time interval can be 2-600s and default setting is 30s, for distance interval can be 50-5000m and default setting is 500m, for heading change can be 5-90°and default setting is 15°. There can be single or several groups of GPS data in one GPS message, determined by groups of GPS data per message, device will not report GPS message until it has collected specified groups of GPS data. Groups of GPS data per message can be 1-30 and default setting is 1. For example, sampled by time interval and sampled by distance are enabled, and the respective settings are 10s and 500m, groups of GPS data per message is 5. Assume that vehicle is running at speed of 72km/h (20m/s), then it takes 25s to run out of 500m, so GPS data are sampled at 10th, 20th, 25th, 30th, 40th second and reported at 40th second as 5 groups of GPS data have been collected at that time.
IDD-213W User Manual 18 The suggested minimal interval for GPS report is 10s. For example, if only sampled by time interval is enabled, then the settings might be 10s of sample rate and 1 group of GPS data per message, or 5s of sample rate and 2 groups of GPS data per message. 55..44 RReegguullaarr GG--SSeennssoorr DDaattaa RReeppoorrttiinngg Device reports G-Sensor data (g-value of X/Y/Z axis) according to configured time interval, this function is disabled by default.
