3 DESCRIPTION: VEHICLE GPS LOCATOR (ACT231)

3.1 THE LATEST VEHICLE TRACKER IN GPS TECHNOLOGY

Utilizing both assisted and standalone GPS, ACT231 is able to determine
your location via a combination of cell triangulation and the greatest
number of GPS satellites available. ACT231 charges via the included USB
wall charger. ACT231 is equipped with a battery life of 3-7 days with
normal usage.

3.2 ALERTS & MESSAGES

ACT231 has no button for user-set alert functions; the L BS (Location based
server) can only know the device location and alerts inc luding the vehicle
information.

3.3 TRACKING REPORTS

The ACT231 can be configured to report its loc ation on a sw scenario based
chronological interval. The interval is remotely configurable and can be
set via appropriate web and mobile software platforms. In addition to
interval tracking, the ACT231 is capable of servicing single location
requests on demand via one-time-fix requests made through the web/mobile
platforms.

3.4 VEHICLE DOOR LOOK/UNLOCK WITH REMOTE CONTROL

The ACT231 has the door lock or unlock function, which is controlled by
several methods; a cellular data radio, a Bluetooth radio for short-r ange
communications, a UHF radio with short-ran ge vehicle-based receivers. This
device adapted the BT2.1+EDR function to detect the Smartphone
presence/identification and RKE (Remote Keyless Entry) function to access
the UHF receiver of vehicle.

3.5 VEHICLE DOOR LOOK/UNLOCK WITH REMOTE CONTROL FROM CLOUD SERVER

The ACT231 equipped a replacement remote for original equipment and
aftermarket automotive keyless entry systems (RKE). The features and
functions associated with each of the six channels of the RKE are dependent
on the year, make and model of the vehicle. Such func tions include remote
control operation of the vehicle’s lock, unlock, horn, trunk, dome li ght,
rear hatch, remote start and power side door functions. The functio ns are
activated by command on the remote control from the cloud server. Selection
from a variety of appropriately controlled command whic h correspond to the
features of the vehicle shall be used for function identification. The
remote control may be configured to operate more than o ne receiver. A user
may toggle between receivers as often as necessary.

4 HANDING THE VEHICLE GPS LOCATOR

4.1 SET-UP

1. Most of vehicle has an OBD-II (On Board Diagnostics) connector, which

is located within 2 feet of the steering wheel.

2. The installation is very easy, just put the ACT231 to the OBD-II

connector in user vehicle.

3. The ACT231 will power on automatically from vehicle battery and start

initiation for CDMA network access.

4. After install of device to vehicle, all services are served by server.

Figure 4.1: Installation of ACT231 in vehicle

4.2 POWER SUPPLY FROM VEHICLE (TYPICAL 13.5V)

1. After insertion of ACT231 to OBD-II connector, the device has

automatically power-on with the car battery, typically 9~20V.

2. If the engine has off, then the device decide to power off the OBD

interface circuit, and run the CDMA RF with GPS for the
unauthorized movement function.

3. If the engine has on, then the device work on the OBD interface

circuit, which is charge of gathering the vehicle information such
as fuel gauge, speed, engine RMP, and so o n to report it to LBS
server via the CDMA network.

condition.

3. There is no visual way to confirm whether device has power-on or not.

4. But, user can make sure the location from web-server, or application.

To Power OFF:

1. If the device is needed for totally power-off, then just remove it

from the OBD-II connector.

2. In case of the car has engine off with ACT231, and passed several

days, the device has automatically power-off to prot ect the battery
drain fully.
