requesting person sends a SMS with the content FIX? using a Mobile Phone to
GH1202 and GH1202 will send back a status SMS.

Note: Please pay attention, if the GSM indicator is blinking red, the PIN code maybe
enabled on your SIM card. The PIN code can be disabled with mobile phone or Track
Assistant Software installed on your PC.

User Manual v2.24

The special requests are:

FIX? – GH1202 starts the GPS receiver (if satellites are available), gets location and
sends it (in case of reception) to the requesting person. If no current coordinates will
be detected GH1202 will send the latest coordinates (date/time) from its internal
memory. In the Log Tracking Modus stored data will be sent immediately after
request.

* N/A will only be sent if no data is available within the internal memory

INF? – GH1202 will send all information about it´s status.

GEO? – GH1202 will check in which Geofence zone it is and if it is inside - will
send the Geofence zone name.

LIVE? – When GH1202 receives such a request it returns back the information
about how long it has been working after last restart (in seconds).

To get valid responses the Geofence zones must be configured using TAMT
(Track Assistant Monitoring Tool).

TRACK ASSISTANT MONITORING TOOL

The Monitoring Tool is installed together with the drivers of the device. You can switch
it on within the program menu Start > All Programs > Teltonika > Track Assistant
Monitoring Tool. A special window will inform you about the activation of the program.

MONITORING GH1202 WHEN USING PC

The Track Assistant Monitoring Tool enables the user to manage GH1202 directly
from his personal or portable computer, which is connected to a GSM Modem. With a
GSM Modem (i.e. Teltonika ModemUSB/G10 ) connected to the personal or portable
computer, you can receive SMS messages with geographical coordinates from the
device and immediately track it on the map.

The quantity of SMS messages is not restricted since all SMS messages available in
the Modem may be stored in the computer memory and, thus, compile the whole
history of received or sent SMS messages.

By using the Track Assistant Monitoring Tool you may also request the device for
special SMS queries, which do not need to be memorized because they are already
programmed within the program.

Stored GPS Data can be reviewed directly from GH1202 (with the USB cable) and
can be shown on the map. You can store or export the data.

By using a special tool option, you will be able to set up to ten Geofence zones and
send the configurations with SMS messages by a Modem or record it directly to the
device if it is connected.

In addition, you will be able to store the data within the computer, review them or send
them to another person.

If you are using MS Virtual Earth map on your Track Assistant monitoring software
there you can see three kind of points: yellow, green and red. Yellow point shows if in
current position your speed was less when 5km/h, green – more when 5km/h but less
when 150km/h and red – more when 150km/h.

Tool).

If a SMS message has been sent to the device with a text GEO?, the device will detect
the zone where it is located, and if the device detects that it is located in one of the set
zones, it will send the name of this zone. If zone not detected, the device will send a
SMS message where the zone will be shown as unidentified (N/A).

If you wish to set the zones, click the button Geofence in the menu. If you set the
zones for the first time, the window Geofence Zones will be activated where you can
enable Geofence zones by clicking the link Enable Geofence Zones.
