6.5 - Starting the device

After inserting the SIM card into your GPS Tracker M102 PRO - when the
battery is fully charged - you can start using the device.

GPS Tracker M102 PRO will start working immediately after inserting the
battery. By holding the on/off button pressed for 5 seconds, the tracker

is turned on/off. On turning it on, the indicator light will send out ashes

blinking light until the acquisition of the GPS and GSM signal. When the
signals have been acquired, the indicator light will light up approx. every
4 seconds. In the absence of signal, the light will remain constantly on.

Warning:

In order that the device works properly, you must st use it in the open air.

It is okay if you lace it inside your car, on the dashboard, on a terrace in
the street or elsewhere in outdoor places.

It’s no good - and therefore not advisable - placing it either on windowsills,
balconies and windows or in closed-in places and areas surrounded by
very high walls. This allows your GPS Tracker M102 PRO to pick up
signals from a greater number of satellites and consequently to be more
precise.

Place your GPS Tracker M102 PRO in a lying position, with the logo
turned towards the sky (the GPS antenna is situated just below the logo).

graphic locations on the geographic map.

Warning:

Before using the device in this mode, please contact your telephone
operator in order to inquiry about the GPRS browsing rates with the SIM
card inserted in the device.

The SIM connection costs will then be paid directly to the telephone
operator. Just to give an idea of the connection costs, let us assume
that each device is connected 24 hours a day 30 days per month. Then
maximum consumption amounts to less than 50mb of trafc per month.

6.24 - GPRS Settings (Continued)

GPS Tracker M102 PRO can be set to send its position constantly by
SMS or GPRS (e.g. every 60 seconds 24 hours a day). If your vehicle is
left parked in the same position all night long, it would be inappropriate
(as well as an economic waste) to receive the position constantly every
60 seconds.

To solve this problem, you can tell the device not to send you SMS
messages or GPRS strings if the position has not changed by at least
50m. In that case, you will only have to send the following SMS:

“tlimit+password+space+50”

It is possible to set other values, such as 20m or 500m: “tlimit123456 20”

To disable this function, send the SMS message:

“tlimit123456 0”

If the operation has been properly executed, you will receive the following
SMS message: ”TLIMIT OK!”.

6.24 - Settings GPRS (Continued)

If you call the number of the SIM installed in GPS Tracker M102 PRO,
your call will be interrupted and the device will send its position to the
server.

Now you can send an SMS message to the device in order to start a
GPRS constant data transmission. The message will have the following
composition:

“t060s***n+password”

In this example, GPS Tracker M102 PRO will send its position every 60

seconds for an innite number of times.

Important:

- use values from 030 to 255 to set the number of seconds between each
message and the subsequent.

- use values included between 0 and 255 to set the number of messages
to be sent.

- use three stars “***” to indicate an endless number of messages.

To disable this function, send the following SMS message:

”notn+password”

6.25 - The Micro SD card

A specially provided “slot” intended for “Micro SD” memory cards has
been added in order to allow the device to record the positions detected
by the satellites in case of absence of GSM signal. When the signal is
available again, the data stored on the card can be sent to the server and
will be accessible to reconstruct the route run without uncovering areas.

To enable saving the data on the memory card, send the following SMS:

“sdlog+password+space+1” (sdlog123456 1)

All the locating data received by the device (in the absence of GPRS
covering) will now be stored on the memory card.

Afterwards you will have to tell the device to send the data stored to the
server. Proceed sending the following message:

“readsd+password+space+1” (readsd123456 1)

The device will start sending the data stored on the micro SD card to
the server.

The Power User can reset the device by sending the following SMS
message:

“begin+password”

The SMS message “BEGIN OK!” will conrm the operation.

The registered administrators will be deleted, while the GSM module and
the GPS chip will reset.

Through this procedure, both password and time zone will not be reset.

Should GPS Tracker M102 PRO stops responding to the SMS commands,
it is possible to reset only the GSM module by sending the following SMS
message:

“wdttest+password”

The device will not send any conrmation, but the GSM module will be

reset anyway.

The installation of the device on a vehicle must be carried out in such a
way as to allow that GPS Tracker M102 PRO will receive a good signal
from the satellites. In any case, the upper part of the device (where the
logo is) should be held facing upwards. Despite the high sensitivity of the
GPS reception circuitry, the device should not be placed under a metal
plate. Reception, on the contrary, it is best through glass and light plastic
materials.

As antitheft system, it is possible to place it beneath the surface of

the dashboard, inside bodywork parts of plastic, breglass or the like.

Satisfactory results can also be achieved in other locations: under a seat,
in the glove compartment, under the parcel shelf, bumper fasciae, inside
aerodynamic spoilers and wing mirrors.

7 - Installation on a vehicle

50

Mobisat - GPS Tracker M102 PRO - User Manual - www.mobisat.it

GPS Tracker M102 PRO is powered by a rechargeable lithium battery. Its
approximate duration is 48 hours in standby mode. The package includes
the supply of 2 lithium batteries and one battery charger intended for
power supply via the car lighter.
Using the device with its lithium battery involves the user having to
change and recharge the battery periodically.

To obviate this problem, GPS Tracker M102 PRO can be powered
directly from the vehicle battery. This is possible thanks to the special
cable supplied, so that you can hide GPS Tracker M102 PRO inside the
dashboard or wherever you deem appropriate, without taking care to
recharge the battery, which will be constantly powered by the car battery.

Important: there is no risk for GPS Tracker M102 PRO to discharge the

car battery.

Warning: in any case, the internal lithium battery should never be

removed.

Mobisat - GPS Tracker M102 PRO - User guide - www.mobisat.it

The monitor function is not activated

Solution:

Check that you have set an authorized number and that there is enough
signal covering.

The geographic position is displayed with only zero numbers

Solution:

you are using the device in the absence GPS signal. Place the device
outside.

The movement alarm arrived late

Solution:
It is normal for the movement alarm to arrive a little late. In order to
avoid false alarms, the device sends the movement alarm as soon as a
distance of 200m from the position you have recorded is exceeded. This
distance might be increased by the time the device takes to connect to
the satellites and by the time the telephone operator takes to send the
SMS message.
