1. BEFORE GETTING STARTED

1.1 General information

1. The operation and positioning accuracy of the Global Positioning System, GPS, is

maintained by the Defense Department of the United States of America. Based on its

public policy and national security, the US government reserves the right to alter the GPS

system and its accuracy without forewarning.

2. As with other GSM mobiles, the electric magnetic wave may affect the functioning of

medical instruments. If you wear heart-rate monitor, do not position the tracker in front of

the chest. It is best to keep a distance of at least 6 inches between the tracker and the

monitor. When close to other medical instruments, turn the tracker off.

3. Although the mini tracker has undergone several safety tests and conforms to a number of

national security standards, using the device could become risky in certain abnormal

climatic or seismic conditions without correct operation. Please read the manual carefully

before operating the device.

4. For your safety, when aboard on an aircraft, please turn off mini tracker.

5. In restricted areas such as gas stations or in the vicinity of explosives, please shut down

the mini tracker. Under no conditions should you use the mini tracker near fuel or

flammable materials.

6. As the mini tracker is not water-proof, make sure to take appropriate precautions in humid

or rainy weather and keep it dry at all times.

7. Before connecting any other device to the tracker, please read detailed instructions in the

user manual. To avoid any possible damage do not connect the mini tracker to any

incompatible product.

8. It is normal for the mini tracker to become warm during operation.

9. A different network setup, various makes of SIM card, and different modes of operation

could be the cause of varying rates of in the tracker's power consumption.

10. Mini tracker is GSM 850/900/1800/1900 and GPRS ready. Before using the device you

should purchase an SIM card from a local telecommunication service provider. This

service should include at least an internet connection, voice communication, and short

message service.

1.2 Tracker Battery Safety Notices

Failing to use the battery correctly could be hazardous. Please pay attention to the following.

1. Your mini tracker is powered by a rechargeable battery that can be frequently charged and

discharged. When the device's talk time and standby time becomes shorter than normal, it

is time to replace the battery.

2. Do not apply any steel tools or any other hard objects to the tracker and avoid stepping on it.

Any of the latter could cause battery leakage with adverse results.

3. Do not heat the tracker or place it close to the source of fire, a stove, or any heated

environment over 80℃ ; Short circuiting could result in smoke emission or a fire.

4. Do not place the tracker in a damp or humid place. This could also cause short circuiting,

smoke and eventually fire.

5. Charge the battery in normal temperature conditions. Avoid direct exposure to the sun,

stove, or any other environment where the temperature exceeds 80℃ . Follow the manual

for proper battery charging procedure and pay close attention while this takes place.

6. If the battery is charged in an abnormal environment the battery protection device will fail.

An adverse chemical reaction will result as well as a potentially hazardous surge in

electrical current.

7. Turn off device power before Charging. Charging the battery for longer than the

recommended charging time will shorten battery life. If the battery does not fully charge in

the set time, stop charging immediately to avoid fire.

1.3 Possible Additional Fee

1. Position request and position response sent by SMS will be charged.

2. View Tracker’s position from Google map operation may be charged according to GPRS

data quantity transferred.

1.4 About GPS

1. GPS signals are incapable of penetrating solid objects that are non-transparent. The

signals will be also affected by surface cover such as tall buildings, tunnels, elevated

expressways, forests etc., or weather conditions such as overcast and rain. If the vehicle

is poorly insulated against heat and contains metal parts, GPS signals will not be able to

penetrate.

2. All wireless communication devices such as cell phones, or traffic police speed detectors

can interfere with the reception of GPS signals and results in unstable signals.

3. To get position fix successfully, please hold Strap Hole upside for better signal

orientation.

4. There is no guaranty that SOS message will be successfully sent at distressed

environment where GPS or GSM signals are weak.

1.5 ABOUT SIM Card PIN CODE & GPRS

Notice: SIM PIN should be unlocked before being inserted into the device. SIM PIN can
be disabled through ordinary cell phone.

1. GPRS function of SIM card in MT-900M is NOT Necessary enabled for normal
operation; but SMS function should be always enabled.

2. If SIM lock is enabled and password is incorrect, power on/off device three times will make

the SIM card locked permanently. Only PUK code can unlock the SIM in such case. (The

default PIN code in SIM Card may be “0000”.)

3. If the SIM card is not inserted or SIM card is invalid, AGPS positioning function will be

disabled.
