4. Start Tracking
You can start to track your vehicle or test the tracker after GSM and GPS light work normally. There are two
ways to track the vehicle, one is by mobile and the other one is by FMS platform.
4.1 Tracking by mobile:
To get position by calling
1. Call the SIM card number in tracker from your mobile.
Page 10
8
2. Tracker will hang up automatically after several rings, then replies a position SMS to your mobile phone.
Note: if you don’t like the tracker reply a message after calling, you can send command 000000OPT0 to close
this function, if you want to restore this function later, you can send command 000000OPT1 to activate this
function again.
To get position by SMS command
Note: The tracker default password is 000000, if you already changed it, please use the new one in all SMS
command. Tracker only replies command from a user which uses the correct password. Commands with wrong
Password will be ignored.
Send SMS command to SIM card number in tracker from your mobile, command format: <password>RCP
For example: you edit the SMS command 000000RCP and send it, after a few seconds, you will get a SMS
reply similar with below contents:
Latitude = 22.5632 Longitude = 114.0940, Speed = 2.6854Km/h, Odometer = 10.98KM GPRS: OFF, EXPW: ON,
Time: 2010-12-07 08:47:45
Explanation:
GPRS means tracker connection FMS platform status
ON: means tracker connect FMS platform ok
OFF: means tracker connect FMS platform not ok
Fail: means tracker connect FMS platform fail
EXPW means external power connection status:
ON: means tracker already connect to external power
OFF: means tracker does not connect to external power
Note: when tracker doesn’t get GPS signal, it will reply a SMS starts with ―Last‖, which means this data is for
the last place where the tracker got GPS signal successfully.
Above two methods just got coordinate for position, you can locate this position in your FMS or
http://demo.livegts.com which includes the Google map, manually input the latitude and longitude what you get
from this reply SMS and click the "Locate" button. It will display the place on map. Please refer to following
picture:
Page 11
9
To get position in Google Map link
Send SMS command to SIM card number in tracker from your mobile, command format: <password>RCM
For example: you edit the SMS command 000000RCM and send it, after a few seconds, you will get a SMS
reply with a position link, you can click this link directly and locate it on your mobile.
Note: it will cause GPRS cost for your mobile.

SMS Command format : <password >APN<APN>, <User>, <Pass>
Example: Sending SMS command 000000APNCMNET to set the tracker SIM card APN.
PT600X will reply with an SMS ―SET OK, APN: CMNET, USER: PASS : ‖.
Note: CMNET is China mobile’s APN, no username & password for it. You can ask your GSM operator for their
SIM card GPRS connection APN, username and password, if it has user name and password; you just add the
user name and password after APN and use ―,‖ between each other, the complete command is
Page 13
11
000000APN<APN data>, <User name>, <Password>
4.2.4 Set FMS server and tracker port by SMS
SMS Command format : <password> SVR<FMS domain>, <Port>

example at here. PT600X’s port number always is 8600.
4.2.5 Set Time Interval by SMS
It is for automatically update tracker position in FMS
SMS Command format : <password>GTI<time seconds>
SMS Example: Sending SMS command 000000GTI30 to set the time interval.
PT600X will reply with a SMS ―Set GPRS Time Interval=30 OK‖.

If you want to save GPRS cost for SIM card in tracker
You can set the tracker using longer time interval when vehicle ignition is off. In this case, please connect
the PT600X’s input4 to vehicle ignition wire, and send SMS command 000000GTI30,0,0,0,240 to tracker,
and then PT600X will update position to FMS very 30 seconds when vehicle ignition is ON, and every 2
hours when vehicle ignition is OFF (30seconds x 240=7200seconds=2hours).
If your vehicle often runs on the curve road, for get better route display in FMS
You can set the tracker update position at each corner, the complete command for better route and saving
GPRS cost is 000000GTI30,0,30,0,240 to tracker, you also need to connect the PT600X’s input4 to vehicle
ignition wire, the tracker will update position to FMS once the vehicle turns bend for 30 degree or over 30
degree, and also update position very 30 seconds when vehicle ignition is ON, every 2 hours when vehicle
ignition is OFF (30secondsx240=7200seconds=2hours).
Note: Refer above 4.2.2 ~ 4.2.5 steps commands, also can be set via debug tool on your PC, please refer to
