General Information
General Information
The tracker is a portable device able to transmit its geographical location to a mobile phone or PC in real­time and to send SOS messages in case of an emergency. Moreover, the detected data can be recorded for further analysis.
The tracker is available in two different versions:
LCD• : GPS tracker with display, phone and 2MB data storage memory. BOX• : GPS tracker without display, without vocal communication and with 512kB data storage memory.
Both trackers can be offered combined in the KIT version, particularly indicated for the use of Finder function, useful for real-time locating.
This User Guide describes the tracker in the BOX version.
The tracker has two basic version:
locating and transmitting its actual position• sending an SOS message in case of an emergency•
The tracker is provided with MyTrack software allowing the tracker management and personal tracking.
The GPS receiver and the GSM device work at higher radio frequencies which can be stopped
by enclosures containing metal and plastic parts. It is suggested to keep the tracker under light clothes, as external as possible.
Examples of shielding materials: kevlar, carbon fi bre, some polyurethanic and polyamidic resins
especially if black, etc.
Examples of materials which cannot infl uence the radio waves: ABS, ABS+PC, policarbonate,
etc.
For further details on tracker use and functions, please read carefully the user

SOS Key
By pressing the SOS key for at least 2 seconds, for 5 consecutive times every minute, an SMS message is immediately sent to the preset phone numbers (max. of 4 phone numbers). This message also contains the current data on the location, if the GPS signal has been revealed. If there is no GPS signal coverage, the last position data will be sent.
If no numbers have been set or in the absence of GSM signal, every time the
SOS key is pressed, an acoustic warning signal is emitted.
In the event that there is no network service coverage, the alarm functions
GSM
may not be available.

Position Data and Events Recording
The tracker allows to record:
the detected events automatically without setting the recording• the position data to review the track afterwords, if the recording was previously set•
The tracker can records approx. 14,800 position points and approx. 1,900 events.
When an event occurs, the tracker detects it and start to record in the Event LOG. The following list shows all the events which can be detected and recorded automatically by the tracker.
power on/off• low battery• receiving a data call• making a GPRS call• hanging up a call• motion on/off• GSM network available/unavailable• GPS signal available/unavailable• entry/exit from Geofence area• entry/exit from Anchor area• fi rmware update• SOS alarm• memory erasing• roaming on/off• network GSM provider changing if roaming on•
The setup of the position points recording can be carried out by means of the provided software (refer to the chapter Setup by MyTrack Software).

Position Request
It is possible to ask for the tracker position by means of an SMS command. After receiving the SMS command, the tracker sends a message containing the position data to the phone number which sent the command.
To know the tracker position in real time, send the following command: For further details, refer to the paragraph Reading and Writing SMS Commands.
Automatic Position Sending
The tracker can send its own position at a programmable rate. The automatic position sending can be carried out in two different modes:
by SMS• by GPRS connection•
CYCLIC POSITION SMS
The tracker can send an SMS message at intervals, containing all the information on its current position. This function is useful for monitoring the tracker motion at a distance by a mobile phone.
To use this function, it is necessary to:
set, using the provided software, the phone number where the position messages will be sent• set the rate for the cyclic position SMS using the provided software or sending an SMS command• enable the function using the provided software or sending an SMS command•

CYCLIC GPRS CONNECTION
The cyclic GPRS connection allows to connect the tracker automatically at a programmed rate for the continuous position updating. At the programmed rate, the tracker will be connected only for the time needed for sending the position point. This function is very useful if combined with the I-Scout web server as it allows to display the detected positions by every station connected to internet.
To use this function, it is necessary to:
set the GPRS communication parameters using the provided software or sending an SMS command• enable the function setting the rate for cyclic GPRS connection using the provided software•
Safety Instructions
Anchor
The Anchor function allows to monitor within a pre-established circular area the position of a person, an object or an animal. When the tracker detects the exiting from the pre-established area or the ri-entering, it sends an alarm SMS containing its position data to the preset phone number.
This function is programmable using the complete SMS command (enabling and radius setting) or partially by the provided software.
When the complete SMS command is received by the tracker (e.g. wanc=1,0500), the function is enabled and the current tracker position is considered as area central point. If the function is enabled without setting the radius, the previously set coordinates for the central point and the last programmed radius will be considered. If no radius was previously programmed, by default it will be set to 100 m.
This function is programmable completely by SMS command (wanc). By the provided software, only function enabling and radius setting is possible.
Before enabling this function, it is necessary to set the phone number where
SMS will be sent by means of the provided software.

The Geofence function allows to monitor the entry and the exit of the tracker in a pre-established area. This is a rectangular area and can be programmed by set the area diagonal coordinates by means of the provided software, or by means of an SMS command sent by a mobile phone. To set the SMS command, refer to the paragraph Reading and Writing SMS Commands.
After having set the parameters of the Geofence function, the tracker will send an SMS message of alarm to the preset phone number (set by means of the provided software) each time it enters/exits the pre-established area or each time it is switched on outside the pre-established area.

Reading and Writing SMS Commands
The SMS commands allows to set or read some tracker settings. These messages can be sent by a mobile phone or by a GSM device able to send/receive SMS (i.e. a GSM modem). When the tracker is switched ON and there is GSM signal, it can receive any SMS command. If the tracker receives a correct SMS command, an answer is sent to the SMS command sender. If the message contains invalid characters, the tracker will not reply. If it contains invalid values, the tracker will reply a message containing “COMMAND ERROR“. All commands start with the letter “r” (reading) or “w” (writing).
Ensure that the SMS commands are written exactly as shown in the table. Any
change (space, capital letter, small letter,...) could affect the recognition of the command.
Before enabling the sending of position SMS in cyclic mode (wposc), ensure
that the SMS phone number has been programmed.
