LT600
GPS VEHICLE TRACKER
Thank you for choosing Mongoose as your GPS tracking provider.
The LT600 is a battery operated GPS/AGPS dual positioning tracker that is designed to
transmit its location at intervals of your choice. It also contains LBS (land based system)
to give approximate location based on mobile phone cell sites if, for some reason there is
no satellite GPS reception. LBS will show which cell tower area the tracker is within – not
an actual accurate location.
It contains a high capacity battery and the mobile APP displays the current battery
condition. Battery standby is approximately 6 months. In daily use, such as vehicle
tracking, battery life will be shorter, usually 2~3 months. The battery is re-chargeable –
use the charger supplied. The tracker also contains strong magnets to assist in attaching
the tracker to the desired vehicle, equipment or asset.
The tracker allows free access to a 3
rd
party mobile APP and online PC 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.
Location data is stored on the website for a continuing 6 month period. More detailed travel
history and reporting functions can be found on the website.
Please read this manual to familiarize yourself with its features and how it works.
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 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 3G SIM card must have the ability 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.

SIM CARD INSTALLATION
Lift the rubber cover Insert the SIM card & turn on Close the dust cover
The LEDs light solid whilst searching for both GSM and GPS signals.
After approximately, 20~40 seconds the LEDs should start to flash. Reminder, the tracker
must be outdoors or very close to a window/door to receive GPS signals.
Once signals are acquired, it can be initialized as detailed on the following pages.
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.
TAMPER ALARM (DROP ALARM)
The tracker has a built-in optical tamper detector 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.
when setting up the tracker or testing its features you can turn off this feature – see page 12.
