2 Product Overview

The T366G is a vehicle GPS tracker with IP67 water-resistance rating and can be installed into cars, motorcycles, yachts, and

boats. It is equipped with built-in GPS and GSM antennas. The unit can work well in extreme environments.

2.1 Product Features

2.1.1 Sudden Acceleration/Deceleration Alarm

You can detect the sudden acceleration/deceleration alarm by setting the limit value.

Cautions on device installation:

1. The device should be installed into the vehicle according to the following direction.

2. The device installation angle cannot exceed 15 degrees.

The default sudden acceleration and deceleration alarm values are 230 mG and -300 mG respectively.

Note: The alarm results vary according to the device installation, vehicle model, vehicle weight, and driving behaviors. After the

device has been installed properly, you can use the Meitrack Manager software to adjust the sudden acceleration and

deceleration alarm values by every 10 mG. You can also use the D79 command to set the values.

2.1.2 GPS Data Filtering

The GPS data filtering function can ensure GPS data accuracy and eliminate static drifting.

MEITRACK T366G User Guide

You can set the following parameters by Meitrack Manager: GPS speed range, GPS positioning accuracy, and Number of GPS

satellites. When the GPS data filtering function is enabled, if all conditions are met, GPS data will be updated.

Note: This function can be enabled by Meitrack Manager.

2.1.3 Activating Output by Event

You can activate output by event.

For example:

1. When speeding is detected, the buzzer will make sounds.

2. When unauthorized ignition or GPS antenna cut-off is detected, the engine will not be able to start.

3. When iButton triggering is detected, the vehicle door will open or close.

4. When input or output status is detected, the output will be active or inactive.

SMS sending: 0000,A00

SMS reply: Now,Date and time,Positioning status,GSM signal strength,Speed, Remaining battery power,Map link

Description: This command is used to query tracker's current location.

Example:

Sending: 0000,A00

Reply: Now,160721 16:40,V,12,56Km/h,97%,http://maps.meigps.com/?lat=22.513015&lng=114.057235

6.5.2 Setting Authorized Phone Numbers – A71

SMS sending: 0000,A71,Phone number 1,Phone number 2,Phone number 3

SMS reply: IMEI,A71,OK

SMS reply:

Phone number: A phone number has a maximum of 16 bytes. If no phone numbers are set, leave them blank. Phone numbers

are empty by default.

Phone number 1/2/3: Set these phone numbers to authorized phone numbers. When you call the tracker by using these phone

numbers, you will receive SMS notification about the location, geo-fence alarm and low power alarm and SMS notification or a

call about the unauthorized door open and unauthorized ignition.

If you need to delete all authorized phone numbers, send 0000,A71.

Example:

Sending: 0000,A71,13811111111,13822222222,13833333333

Reply: 353358017784062,A71,OK

6.5.3 Setting the Smart Sleep Mode – A73

SMS sending: 0000,A73,Sleep level

SMS reply: IMEI,A73,OK

Description:

When the sleep level is 0, the sleep mode is disabled (default).

MEITRACK T366G User Guide

When the sleep level is 1, the tracker enters the normal sleep mode. The 3G module always works, and the GPS module

occasionally enters the sleep mode. The tracker works 25% longer in the normal sleep mode than that in the normal working

mode. This mode is not recommended for short interval tracking; this will affect the route precision.

When the sleep level is 2, the tracker enters the deep sleep mode. If no event (SOS, button changes, incoming calls, SMSs, or

vibration) is triggered after five minutes, the GPS module will stop working, and the 3G module will enter sleep mode. Once a n

event is triggered, the GPS and 3G modules will be woken up.

Note: In any condition, you can use an SMS command to disable the sleep mode, and then the tracker exits the sleep mode and

returns back to the normal working mode.

Example:

Sending: 0000,A73,2

Reply: 353358017784062,A73,OK

For details about SMS commands, see the MEITRACK SMS Protocol.

Note:

1. The default SMS command password is 0000. You can change the password by using Meitrack Manager and SMS

command.

2. The device can be configured by SMS commands with a correct password. After an authorized phone number is set, only

the authorized phone number can receive the preset SMS event report.
