NOTES ON USE
For this product to operate correctly, it requires good reception of both mobile phone coverage
and GPS satellite signals.
The tracker is designed to operate correctly outdoors.
GPS signals cannot usually be received indoors as buildings and other materials block reception.
When the tracker cannot receive either signal, it will constantly search for them. This will cause the
battery to drain faster.
When not being used, always connect the charger to it is always at 100% ready for use.
Due the water resistance and the rubber membrane inside this product, the LED’s may be difficult
to see in brightly areas. Please shield to observe them.

MULTIPLE TRACKER USERS
This allows you to monitor and track all your trackers,
on your mobile smart phone with just one logon
‘username’.
The trackers can be any model(s) from our range.
By selecting ‘monitoring’, you can see where all your
vehicles are.
Select ‘list’ and then choose which vehicle you wish
to see more details about.
If you have a large fleet of vehicles, we can create
sub-accounts so selected staff only see those
vehicles you wish them to see.
If you have more than one tracker, contact
Mongoose who will create your online account.
You can choose your own username and password
to logon.
ONLINE WEBSITE
Go to:
www.mongoosegps.com
Logon to the website with the
same details as the mobile APP.
The tracker sends all its location
data to the website where it is
stored for a continuing 6 month
period.
The mobile APP reads the
information from the website.
Travel is more detailed and more
easily seen.
Reports can be saved and printed.

THE MOBILE ‘APN’ NUMBER
If you have followed the previous pages, the tracker should now be reporting locations and be visible
on the APP.
If there is a message at the top of the menu screen saying
‘not enabled’
, this means that the website
has not yet received any data/information from the tracker.
One reason may be the mobile providers APN needs to be set.
The APN (Access Point Name) is the address of the SIM card provider’s data channel.
Some SIM card suppliers already record their APN on the SIM cards, so the following instruction may
not be necessary.
This will also be necessary if you use your current SIM card and phone number but change providers.
Here are some Australian examples. Contact your SIM card provider to verify the correct APN.
Telstra
telstra.internet or telstra.wap
Vodafone
live.vodafone.com
Optus
connect or yesinternet or connectme
Aldi mdata.net.au
Here are the New Zealand examples;
Vodafone
vodafone.net.nz
2 Degrees
internet
Spark
internet
To set the APN
, send this text message:-
apn123456 xxxxxxxxxx
there is a space here
xxxxxxxx = your trackers SIM card APN
Example:
apn123456 telstra.internet
You should get the reply:
apn ok
After sending the SMS, wait a few minutes then open the mobile APP and check to see
if it is now reporting by selecting ‘real time’

GEO-FENCE
A geo-fence is an electronic area with a programmable boundary.
The boundary has a minimum radius of 100m to a maximum of 5000m.
200m is the recommended minimum to avoid false alerts.
The area is easily set from the APP or website.
If the tracker moves outside this area it will send an alert to the paired mobile phone.
You will also receive an alert when it re-enters the area.
Multiple geo-fences can be set, for instance, around your home, your place of work,
usual parking places, shopping centres, friend’s houses, etc.
Delete a geo-fence if you do not wish to receive alerts.
Enter a name for your geofence. Then tap ‘longitude’
The map on the right opens.
Move the map so the crosshairs are over where you want
the centre of your geo-fence to
be.
Use the slider bar to increase or
decrease the size of the geofenced area.
The text in the centre of the
‘cross-hairs’ shows the radius
chosen (distance from centre to
perimeter).
Min’ 100m Max’ 5000m
Press the save icon top right.

CONTROLLABLE FEATURES
The tracker can be controlled by either text messages from your mobile phone - see chart on
the next page, or some from the mobile APP’s ‘Commands’.
PASSWORD FOR COMMANDS – does not affect your logon password.
The default password is 123456. This may be changed to any 6~8 digit numbers (not letters).
Note: If changing the password, please make careful note of the new number
. There is no factory or
user reset unless this new number is known.
SHOCK ALERT TYPES
On page 13 is a command chart of text messages that can be sent to the tracker.
You can choose the type of alert you wish to receive when the tracker gets a shock;
•
Phone call only
•
Text alert only
•
Receive both phone call and text
•
None
SLEEP MODE
When the tracker is stationary for a period, it will go to sleep to help preserve battery life. You
can force it to sleep – force it to wake up – or even wake it up when it gets a shock. See
command chart.
It will wake up automatically when it detects movement.
SPEED ALERT
A speed limit can be set between 50~300kph.
Speed over the set limit will send an alert to your mobile phone.
MOVE ALERT
This is similar to geo-fence but is not at a fixed location – the location is where your tracker is when
you activate ‘move’.
When stationary for more than 3 minutes, a ‘move’ command can be sent and sets a permitted
radius of travel of your choice (100m~5000m) from the parked location.
200m is the recommended minimum to avoid false alerts which can be caused by poor
satellite reception. (heavy weather, inside or close to buildings/garages can cause false
alerts).
Movement outside this radius will send a text alert to your mobile phone.
This feature should be turned on or off as and when needed.
If move alert is on, then geo-fence is automatically off.
FREQUENCY OF LOCATION REPORTING – default 30 seconds
Set how often the tracker reports when it’s moving.
Typically, 30 seconds is used when moving in a vehicle and 60 seconds when walking as this gives
a good map plot when history is viewed. Set you own times to suit your requirements.

TERMINOLOGY
GPRS – This stands for Global Packet Radio System. It is the method of sending data over
the mobile phone network.
LBS – This stands for Location Based Service. It is a method of locating a tracker to the closest
mobile transmission tower. Normally used for search and rescue. There is no actual location
accuracy, just the location within the radius of the mobile tower – narrows any possible
search area.
Sometimes when replaying history, you may see straight lines from some distance away.
This is caused by a lack of GPS signal and the tracker ‘pings’ off the nearest mobile tower.
Uncheck ‘LBS’ on the date selection screen to prevent this occurring.
Cautions:
1. Keep the unit dry to extend product life.
2. Clean with dry cloth. Do not clean with chemicals or detergent, etc.
3. Do not paint the unit or apply metal foil stickers.
4. Do not disassemble, tamper or attempt any repair.
5. Tampering, abuse and misuse with the unit will void any warranties.
