General Information
General Information
The tracker is a portable device able to transmit its geographical location to a mobile phone or PC in real-time.
Moreover, the detected data can be recorded for further analysis.
The tracker is available in two different version:
LCD• : GPS tracker with display, phone and 2MB data memory.
BOX• : GPS tracker without display, without vocal communication and 512kB data 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 LCD version.
The tracker has three basic functions:
locating and transmitting its actual position•
sending an SOS message in case of an emergency•
voice communication as a mobile phone•
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

Finder
The Finder mode allows to fi nd another tracker of the same type (LCD or BOX version) by displaying the
distance and the direction to follow. The Finder function can only be used if the distance between the trackers
is less than 999 Km.
To carry out the Finder function, set the communication rate by the provided
software.
The necessary motion for updating the relevant position, must be no less than 10
meters in 3km/h. More motion means more precise indication of direction. It is important to
keep the tracker pointing in the direction used for reference. In every way, if change of direction
is inevitable, e.g. the ground is not viable, on approaching the correspondent, the direction will
be constantly updated and corrected by the tracker.

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.

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:

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), either
operating directly on the tracker, 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), either operating directly on the tracker.
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.

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.
