LandAirSea 7100 Real T ime GPS Tracking System
1.1 Introduction
The LandAirSea 7100 is a web-based real time tracking system that uses GPS technology to
accurately determine the exact location of your vehicle.
You can set the unit to update its location while the vehicle is moving and can be set to update
in the following increments : 5, 15, 30, 60 minutes, 4 hours, daily or weekly . If y ou do not need
the tracking unit to update automatically you can set it up for Web Poll which means you track
the location on an as needed basis.
The unit also has 3 inputs which can be connected to your vehicle’s alarm system or airbag
inflation system to inform you if your alarm is going off or if your airbag was inflated.
Y ou can also use the LandAirSea 7100 to disable your vehicle from driving anywhere in the
event that it was stolen. The LandAirSea 7100 is very easy to install on your vehicle. It comes
with a single antenna and a power cable that connects directly to your battery or fuse box.
1.2 Activating Your LandAirSea 7100
The very first thing you need to do is activate your tracking unit. You do not want to have
your unit installed before it is activated. Activate it first.
You should have a 7100 Activation sheet that came with your tracking unit. Fill it out
completely and fax it to the number given on the sheet. Within 24 hours your unit will be
activated, usually activation will be completed in less than 2 hours. You can check on the
status of your activation by trying to log in (See the section on Log In). If you cannot log in,
than your unit probably has not been activated.
1.3 Setting the Switches on the Tracking Unit - VER Y IMPOR T ANT . DO THIS BEFORE
INST ALLATION
On the back of the tracking unit you will see eight small switches. These switches control how
the unit will automatically report its’ location. Make sure this is done before installation.
For most cases, switches 1, 2, 3, and 4 will not be used and can remain in the off position.
Later sections of this manual discuss the operation of switches 1-4.
Switch 5 controls whether or not the tracking unit will send Speed and Direction information
along with the location. If you want the unit to report the speed and direction, then turn
Switch 5 OFF. If you only need position (more economical) then turn Switch 5 ON.
Switches 6, 7, and 8 control how often you want the tracking unit to automatically report its’
location when the vehicle is moving. The unit will not continually send out the location when it
is stationary. This would waste airtime and dramatically increase the monthly cost. The following chart shows which switches to set according to your requirements:
Web P oll
Once per Week
Once per Day
Every 4 Hours
Every Hour
Every 30 Minutes
Every 15 Minutes
Every 5 Minutes
As an example, if you have switches 5, 6, 7, and 8 all in the ON position, then the unit will report
position only , every 5 minutes when the vehicle is mo ving.
Web P oll means that the unit will only report its location when you request it by logging in and
sending a request to “Locate Unit” . This is commonly knows as “pinging” the tr acking unit.

1.4 Connecting the Power Cable to the 7100 Unit and the V ehicle
You will need a small screw driver to connect the power cable to the tracking unit. Loosen the 2
screws on the side of the unit. Insert the wires as shown in the picture below. Then tighten
the screws. Make sure the wires are firmly connected so they do not come loose.
Figure 1.0 - Power Connection to the LandAirSea 7100
After you have connected the power cable to the tracking unit, take the fuse out of the fuse
holder. The fuse holder is part of the power cable. This is VERY important, so make sure you do
not forget to take the fuse out of the fuse holder.
Now connect the other end of the power cable to either the battery of the vehicle or the fuse
box. You can also connect it to any other source on the car that provides 12 volts of power.
See Figure 1.1 which shows the connection to the battery.

1.4 Mounting the GPS T racking Unit
You can mount the actual GPS tr acking unit an ywhere in the car. It is not recommended to
mount the outside of the car because it is not waterproof. If you cannot mount the tracking
unit inside the vehicle, then it is a good idea to make sure that it does not get wet.
The best place to mount both the unit and the antenna is under the dash board. You can
usually find a 12 volt power source, usually the same source that goes to the radio. Make sure
the antenna is as high up as possible or in other words, as close to the windshield as possible,
but still under the dash board. Also, make sure that the black side of the antenna is facing up.
Shown below are some other otions for antenna placement.
1.5 Powering Up Y our T racking Unit
After you have set the switches, connected the power cable ( without the fuse ), and mounted
the unit and antenna, you will be ready to power up the unit. Place the fuse back in the fuse
holder and lock the fuse holder. You should see activity on the three green lights located on the
top of the unit. After about 5 to 10 minutes, you should see 1 solid green light and the other 2
lights should flash once about every 5 to 7 seconds.
You are now ready to log on and track your vehicle.
