Note 1:

The format of Google map/earth’s longitudes and latitudes differs from the format of
TR151-SP’s. So please convert the format of Google map/earth’s longitudes and latitudes into
the format of TR151-SP’s longitudes and latitudes before setting Geofence.
If you get a set of latitude and longitude from Google earth like 24°59’47.40” & 121°29’15.72”,
you have to convert the format to TR151-SP format as below and then set geo-fence.

47.40 ÷60=0.79 15.72÷60=0.262
Please take E 12129. & 262 N2459.79 to set geo-fence

If you get a set of latitude and longitude from Google earth like 24.9965°& 121.4877°, you have
to convert the format to TR-150 format as below and then set geo-fence.

0.9965 x60=59.79 0.4877 x60=29.262
Please take E12129. 262 & N2459.79 to set geo-fence

Note 2:

User can set up to 10 rectangular or circular boundaries. Each SMS contains one boundary setting.
User can send numerous SMS to complete one set of settings, including numerous rectangular or
circular boundaries. For example, if user wants to set the boundary includes 2 rectangles and 1 circle.
User has to send 3 SMS, two with rectangle information, one with circle information.

If user uses numerous SMS in one setting, the IMEI, In_or_Out, Report_Interval, Number_of_Reports,
Report_Format, Return_Phone_Number must be the same between each SMS. If above parameters
are not the same between SMS, TR151-SP only follows last SMS.
