GPS VEHICLE TRACKER

User Manual

The VT404 GPS Vehicle Tracker is a compact vehicle remote positioning device with

built-in GPS positioning and GSM/GPRS data and limited 1 or 2 way voice

communication.

This product can be used with all mobile phones but best performance is when used

with phones that can display photographic images or preferably those which utilise

Google maps with built-in GPS.

The tracker is also capable of sending its GPS location data via a data GPRS

connection to our M-TRAK web-server, allowing real-time monitoring, tracking and

historical play-back and reporting.

Examples shown in this manual are taken from an iPhone 4.

Please read this manual carefully before using this product.

SIGNAL STRENGTH –GSM & GPS

This GPS tracker should only be used outdoors to enable it to receive GPS transmissions

from multiple space satellites.

Operation inside warehouses, workshops, garages, parking buildings, etc, or

any other shielded location will result in non-operation or inaccurate information.

Heavy overcast weather will affect GPS signals and accuracy.

This tracker requires connection to the GSM network to enable 2 way

communication with your mobile phone.

PAIRING THE USER PHONE NUMBERS (maximum 3)

Up to 3‘users’can be ‘paired’ to this GPS tracker.

The ‘user number’ sets priority. ‘1’ is the main user.

The other 2 ‘users’ are programmed by the main user.

If the SOS / car alarm function is used, the priority of contact is 1, 2 then 3 – so set the

‘users’ carefully in the order you require.

IMPORTANT:

Do not hide the ‘identity’ of the mobile phones as the tracker

needs to identify the caller

If ID is hidden, calls will automatically divert to the cellular answering service.

The format is:- *phone number*password* user number**

Omit country code. Do not uses spaces or letters.

USER

Example

1 *0211234567*0000*1** CONFIG OK

2 *0279994321*0000*2** CHANGE OK

3 *0212223322*0000*3** CHANGE OK

To change one of the users, simply re-send the command for the user being

changed.

PASSWORD

A password is used in all text commands and is composed of 4 numbers.

The factory default password is “

c. Screenshot SMS

(mobile phone type and ability dependant)

The text information received contains location data similar to a normal SMS request,

but if you tap the message (on compatible phones), a screen opens on your phone

Displayed map size:

The default size of the map can be adjusted for your preference and your

mobile phones display by adding size parameters to your location request. We

suggest you experiment with different map sizes to suit the map detail required.

For instance, too wide and street names disappear.

6680000,www,hhh ( www = width of map, hhh = height of map )

Values must be less than 999.

Example shown in photo above : 6680000,850,850

This parameter gives a good wide view without losing detail but with a global

view of location.

Google Maps SMS

(mobile phone type and ability dependant)

This is the ultimate in portable GPS tracking –live on your phones maps.

Tap the reply message and your mobile phone should open your phones maps and

display the trackers location highlighting the nearest street address*.

If you mobile phone has its own GPS map application, the map may also show your

location in relation to the tracker.

Depending on the capabilities and software of your mobile phone, you may have the

options of;

•

Map, satellite or hybrid views

•

The location of your mobile phone in relation to thetracker

GEO-FENCE –restricting area of travel

You can restrict travel to within a certain area by setting a ‘geo-fence’.

A geo-fence is defined bya base-point (where it currently is) with a permitted radius of travel

from thatlocation.This can be from 1 kilometreto 1000 kilometres (999.9).

If the tracker moves outside this permitted area, it makesa telephone call as an alert to the

mobile phone that set the geo-fence. It will also send a text alert with its location and

includes ‘STATE: OS’ to show the geo-fence area has been exceeded.

The tracker will also alert you when it re-enters the geo-fenced area with

“STATE: RS”.

To use geo-fence;

Set the geo-fence area –then turn the geo-fence ON or OFF

CAR ALARM ACTIVATION ALERT (

OPTIONAL

)

The tracker can be connected to a vehicles car security systems siren to provide a

warning if the alarm is activated.

Any sounding of the alarms siren longer than 10 seconds will activate the SOS

function -the alert message is the same as SOS.

Normal chirps for the alarms arm, disarm and pre-intrusion should not cause an alert

unless longer than 10 seconds.

NOTE:

Please advise all‘users’ the meaning of the SOS alert as it may be an alarm activation

or a call for help.

TELEPHONE THE TRACKER –2 way communication or surveillance

If you wish to utilise this feature, the supplied corded microphone and earphones plugs

into the tracker module. An extension cord may be required depending on where the

tracker is located in relationto the driver.

2 way conversation:

Calling the tracker:

Only paired ‘users’can make a telephone voice call to the tracker.

This does require the driver to wear the earphones whilst driving as the ringing sound

is only produced by the earphones.

The driver can answer by pressing the mic’ button and then carry out a normal

conversation.

The tracker calling a‘user’:

The driver presses the ‘SOS button for 10 seconds. The tracker rings the first paired

‘user’. If not answered, itthen rings the other paired ‘users’.

Surveillance:

If the mic’ button is not pressed, or the earphones are not being worn, the tracker will

automatically answer after 10 rings. The ‘user’ can then listen to the microphone.

Note: Privacy laws must be obeyed.

TOW ALARM

This feature can be programmed on and left on and monitors if the vehicle is moved

without the engine being started. No need to keep programing it as 5minutes after the

engine is turned off, the tracker records its current location. The command below sets

the limit of travel, say 1.0km which is the minimum.

“STATE: ACCOS”

This message is received If the vehicle is moved more than set

distance.

“STATE: ACCRS”

This message is received if the vehicle returns to the parked

location.

NOTE: 1km is the minimum which allows for satellite variances in accuracy – usually

caused by heavy weather or obstructions from buildings which may result in false

alerts.Lesser distances will cause false alerts.
