LT2400
GPS TRACKER
Thank you for choosing Mongoose as your GPS tracking provider.
The LT2400 is a battery operated GPS/AGPS dual positioning tracker that is designed to transmit its location at intervals of your choice. It contains a high capacity battery with a standby life of up to 240 days. The battery is re-chargeable and the mobile APP shows battery condition.
The tracker also contains strong magnets to assist in attaching the tracker to the desired vehicle, equipment or asset. See page 7.
The tracker is supplied with a mobile APP and an online website. The APP is a powerful tool and is used for tracker location, historical travel as well as issuing commands that control how the tracker operates. This manual details the features as well as giving the option of sending text commands. The website stores location data for up to 6 months and provides more detail compared to the APP.
Please read this manual to familiarize yourself with its features and how it works.
If you have any questions, we offer telephone assistance during normal office hours Monday to Friday.

How GPS tracking works
;
The tracker uses fixed orbit GPS satellites to find its location on the earth. The tracker therefore needs to be able to ‘see’ the sky in order the receive satellite information. The tracker requires its own mobile GSM SIM card so it can send GPS locations to the website and the mobile APP. It also allows for text and voice communications. Locations are automatically uploaded to the website using inexpensive mobile data. The website saves the location data for up to 6 months.
The mobile APP is used to display the information stored on the website. The APP and the website are also used to control and change tracker settings. The tracker, APP and website work seamlessly together with virtually no delay in operation.
The trackers GSM SIM card must have the ability and credit for voice, text and data. The only ongoing cost is for the SIM card usage payable to the SIM provider. Due to the nature of this product, a PrePay SIM card is sometimes more than sufficient, but ensure ‘auto top-up’ is selected when registering the SIM phone number with the service provider.

THE APN NUMBER
– not required for Vodafone NZ or 2 Degrees NZ SIM cards If this product is used overseas or with a different GSM SIM provider, you will have to set the APN number of the SIM card provider as the tracker needs to know through whom to send the data. eg; Vodafone NZ =
apn123456 vodafone.net.nz
2 Degrees NZ =

TAMPER ALARM
The tracker has a built-in tamper switch on its base. If the tracker is removed or falls off, it will trigger an alert. The switch is spring loaded and the tracker must be secured to a flat surface for the switch to be depressed. The magnets allow attachment to most suitable flat metal surfaces. The switch must be depressed for at least 15 seconds for the tamper to become active. Releasing the switch for more than 4 seconds will cause the tracker to wake up (if in sleep mode), find its location and send an alert. See page 9 for alert types.
PLACEMENT & SECURITY OF THE TRACKER
The tracker has built-in magnets to assist with attaching the tracker to a vehicle, equipment or asset. Ideally, it should not be placed under metal which can block GPS satellite reception. We strongly recommend experimentation in different placements before deciding on a long term location. In some situations the built-in magnets may not be strong enough, or suitable, to keep it attached. Locations such as on a trailer chassis and then driving over speed bumps or potholes the shock of which could cause the tracker to become detached. Placement must also take into consideration the rubber cover over the on/off switch and SIM card slot. This should not be easily accessible to anyone wishing to disable or turn the tracker off.
Other means of securing the tracker from becoming detached or tampered with must be sought.

FREQUENCY OF LOCATION REPORTING
To maximize the battery life to the expected 240 days, the tracker should be set to report its location at reasonable time intervals. The more often it reports, the battery life will incrementally decrease. The tracker only reports when moving. When stationary for more than 10 minutes, it enters sleep mode – turns off GPS reception and stops reporting locations to preserve battery life. Mobile reception (GSM) is still on.
There are two ways to set the upload frequency;
1. Send this text message
upload123456 30
(upload every 30 seconds when moving)
2. Use the APP: ‘Issue command’ – ‘Send via GPRS’ – ‘Common’ – Select ‘Upload frequency’
REQUEST LOCATION BY TEXT MESSAGE – paired phones only
If you haven’t got the APP or near a computer, you can request location with a text message. Send either of these text messages to the SIM number inside the tracker;
g123456
or
where
You will receive a text reply. Tap the blue portion of the reply to see the location on the phones maps. NOTE: If no mobile phone is paired a location request from any phone will receive the reply. Once a phone is paired, only paired phones can request location.
SLEEP MODE
When the tracker detects no movement for at least 10 minutes, it will enter sleep mode. GPS reception and location data upload are turned off to provide maximum battery life. The tracker will wake up either by detecting movement from its built-in shock sensor or by receiving a text message. NOTE: If the shock sensor doesn’t receive sufficient movement, it may not immediately wake up.
You can turn on sleep mode by APP command or text message:
sleep123456
You can cancel sleep mode by APP command or text message:
nosleep123456
TIME-ZONE
GPS tracking time is based on GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). To get accurate reporting times, a text command to the tracker must be sent to set the correct time zone.
timezone123456 12 – when New Zealand doesn’t have daylight saving timezone123456 13 – when New Zealand does have daylight saving
The tracker does not automatically update time – it must be done manually.
GEO-FENCE
A geo-fence is an invisible boundary around a fixed location. This boundary can have a minimum radius of 100m to a maximum of 5000m. Geo-fences can be added and deleted. If the tracker moves out of or into a geo-fenced area, it will send a text alert to the authorised numbers confirming it is either ‘IN” or ‘OUT’ of the geo-fenced area. NOTE: In normal use this can become an unnecessary text, costly and will shorten battery life.
9
SHOCK ALERT – ON/OFF
When the tracker is stationary and it receives a heavy shock, it will send the text alert. You can activate shock alert by APP command or text message:
shock123456
You can cancel shock alert by APP command or text message:
noshock123456
MOVE ALERT
Once the tracker has remained stationary for more than 3~10 minutes, you can set a move alert.
move123456
reply:
move ok
If the tracker moves more than 500m (default), it will send a text alert to the paired mobile phones. Move alert can also be set from the APP and move distance can be adjusted. To cancel this mode, send
nomove123456
reply:
nomove ok
SPEED ALERT
You can set a speed limit for the tracker and receive a text alert if this speed is exceeded every 5 minutes.
speed123456 105
reply:
speed ok
To cancel this alert, send
nospeed123456
reply:
nospeed ok
Do not set speeds lower than 50km/h as GPS may be inaccurate at low speeds.
LOW BATTERY ALERT
When battery voltage is too low, it will send a text alert ‘ bat:1’ every 30 minutes
MONITOR / TRACK MODE
Track mode is for GPS tracking. Monitor mode is for listening in to the built-in microphone. The mode has to be selected to use it.
To monitor, send:
monitor123456
reply:
monitor ok
Quality and volume depends on tracker location and surrounding noise. Make a phone call to the tracker to listen in. Switch back to tracker mode when finished To track, send:
tracker123456
reply:
