Firstly, enter the tracker number into your mobile phone as a new contact

The number must be entered with the +44 numbers, exactly as shown on the SIM card (in box)

Save the tracker number as your chosen name for it, for example ‘Mum’s Tracker’

Next, send text message A1 from your mobile to the Tracker number

(now saved in your contacts):

You will receive back a text message from the

Tracker reading ‘ Set mobile number 1 OK!

’

You’re now all set to start tracking!

To add the next two users/mobile phones to the tracker:

The second contact will follow all the above instructions, but must sent text B1

The third contact will follow all the above instructions, but must send text C1

To remove a user, they must simply send text A0 , B0 or C0 , to the tracker, depending on which user is being removed

To add a name to messages sent from tracker, to personalise

:

Send text to the tracker – name1, *chosen name*

For example: name1, Emma

The tracker will reply ‘Add name OK!’

To remove name text: name0

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To change the time:

SOS BUTTON & CALLS:

When the SOS button is pressed for a few seconds, it will beep. The tracker will then send a text message to all linked numbers, the text will read ‘Help me!’ also the time and date and the location details with a link to Google maps with location:

Calls can be made to the tracker from ANY mobile or landline number. The call can be picked up by either pressing the SOS button (needs to be clicked twice to pick up the call) or the phone icon button on the side of the tracker (needs to be held for a few seconds to pick up the call). The tracker has a microphone and speaker to enable two way communication. If the phone icon button is pressed until it beeps, it will call

(without sending ‘Help Me!’ text) the A1 contact first, if this is not picked up, it will call B1 and C1 in turn

TROUBLE SHOOTING:

Tracker not responding to text commands:

 Check it is charged and switched on

 Check it has credit

 Make sure your mobile number is linked to the tracker via A1, B1 or C1

 Check LED lights - check you have GSM connection (green light fast flashing) to receive text messages

 If not receiving location request, check you have GPS connection (blue light fast flashing) Tracker also needs to be outside or by a window to get GPS connection

 Turn device on and off by using the power button (This is useful to get GSM/GPS connection back if lost)

 Make sure the text command you are sending is exactly as shown in user guide

 Check you don’t have a signature set in your text messages etc, tracker will not recognise the request unless it is exactly as shown in user guide

 Make sure the tracker number is entered as a contact on your phone using the prefix +44 exactly as shown on SIM card

 Make sure your mobile phone has a signal to enable it to receive messages

Not receiving GPS/Loc info:

 The tracker must be outside or by a window to enable the tracker to fix to a GPS signal The signal is received from satelites, so tall buildings around you may also affect the signal strength

 Check the BLUE LED light is fast flashing every 3 seconds, this will mean you have GPS fix. It will flash slowly every 3 seconds if no connection to GPS

 Switch the device off and then on again while outside, to encourage the tracker to again attempt connection to GPS signal
