Quick Operation Guide

Step 1 Install SIM Card.

A. Make sure the SIM card is with 2G service still if you are using 3G or 4G
SIM cards. Make sure the SIM card is with both GSM SMS and GPRS service
even you don’t want to use online tracking platform. Make sure the SIM card is
with Call ID service also.
B. Make sure SIM with metal face top, clipped icon to the right as below. Or
follow the SIM direction sticker on the device to operate!
C. For Portable Trackers (T12SE/T4400SE/T8800SE/T15400SE; TK05/TK10
/TK20), insert SIM and you will see GREEN light flash once and then turn to on
for 30 second, trackers will be on directly, don’t need press the button again.
For Installed Trackers (T0024/T0080/T1024/T1124/T5124/T3124.
/T3180/T2024), once complete installation and get power with car battery,
trackers will be on also. For other trackers (T16/T18/T18H/T10/C20T/C30T),
please kindly refer to the user manual.
D. Call Device’s SIM phone number and make sure it could get through;

Step 2 Set APN (Access Point Name).

This setting is to enable tracker to upload data to the server through GPRS!
A. Different Telecom provider has different APN. Please confirm APN setting
on your SIM operator’s website or call your SIM operator directly. E.g.
Vodafone APN:live.vodafone.com (Some time APN will include username and
password)!
B. Use your cellphone to send SMS *APN*AXXX*BXXX*CXXX* to the SIM
number in the device.
AXXX refer to APN, BXXX refers
to username, CXXX refers to
password. If there is no username
and password required, just leave
BXXXXX*CXXXXX* as blank.! AXXX,
BXXX, CXXX are just samples, don’t
send this SMS directly!

C. Your cellphone will receive SMS reply, says the appointed APN is set (See
screenshot as below).
Notes:!

1. No matter what APN settings you send to the device, system will reply reply
as what you set. But it doesn't mean the device has connected to server
successfully. You have to finish the second step to make sure the APN
settings is correct.!

2. The APN setting is for the SIM card inside the GPS tracker, not for your own
master control cellphone number. Especially, when the SIM card inside the
tracker and the SIM card inside your master control cellphone are from two
different operator, and you mess them up, then you can’t see the device work
at all.

3. Step 3 Set Master Number.

A. Use master controller cellphone to
send SMS *master*123456*+country
code and your cellphone number* to
the device Sim number!
B. Your cellphone will receive reply
says mater phone number is
successfully set. And you cellphone
number will be the only master phone
to the tracker (See screenshot as
below).

Notes:
1.on above photo, +86 is our country code, please replace it to your own
country code; 13621925935 is the cellphone number which is sending SMS to
the tracker SIM phone, not the tracker SIM phone number. Don’t mix it up!
2.123456 is the default password, it can be changed by SMS command after
the registration.
3.“+” symbol is necessary before the country code so that server is able to tell
where the data is coming from. E.g. +1 for US, +44 for UK , +39 for Italy!
4.If there is no SMS reply. Please kindly double check: whether APN settings
is not correct, please contact the SIM operator to confirm APN settings again;
whether the tracker is with signal now, please kindly call it; whether the SIM
card is with 2G service still, please contact with your operator.

Step 4 Enable the data upload function.

A. Use cellphone to send SMS *routetrack*1* for 1 hour data upload, 6
locations per minute when device is moving; Or use cellphone to send SMS
*checkm*10*, tracker will upload 1 data each 10 minutes both stationary or
moving.
(For other command you need to test, please see details in the user manual.)

Step 5 Send SMS to get tracker’s location.

Step 6 See tracking information on-line!

A. Visit website: www.miitown.com
B. Login with master number (with 00country code) and default password
123456. (See screenshot as below). Replace the 00 to + on the master control
number. E.g. if set master control number +8613621925935, then login in with :
008613621925935

C. All trackers under the same master phone number will be shown under the
device list.

FAQ about Usage:

1. Can your GPS trackers work in our country?

Answer: Yes, it can. As long as your country has regular 2G GSM network. If you use 3G SIM

card or 4G SIM card, before testing, make sure it has 2G GSM service.

2. When I send SMS to it, it doesn’t reply GPS location, only LBS location.
Answer: Is your GPS tracker indoor? Please make sure it’s outdoor. No heavy rain, then the

signal is good. Still LBS location? Then, please send *0000* or *status*to check its status, and

see how many satellites quantity it has now.

3. How does the command *sleepv* works?

Answer: Once the device receives SMS command *sleepv* and keep stationary for over 3

minutes. The device will go to sleep right now. Once it detects the motion or vibration, it will

wake up directly and keep awake for 12 minutes. After 12 minutes, it will go to sleep again,

don’t care whether the device is moving or stationary. However, if after this 12 minutes, it

detect motion again, it will wake up again, then keep wake still. ( As usual, it takes around 1-3

minutes to wake up from sleeping mode).

4. Under *sleepv* mode, does the GPS and GSM module still work?

Answer: No. Both GSM and GPS doesn’t work. When you send SMS or call the device, no

answer at all. Only when the device detects motion, it will wake up and send you the location.

Therefore, if you are using the signal detector to detect it, nothing could be detected.

5. Under *sleep*3*, does the GPS and GSM module work?

Answer: No. Both GSM and GPS are off. When you send SMS or call the device, no answer

at all. It only wakes up after 3 hours later.

 Web: www.vjoycar.com Email: [email protected] Online store: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/1122077 Skype: vjoycar

6. Under *sleep*3*, will the GPS wake up if detect motion or vibration?

Answer: No, it won’t. It will only wake up when the time is up to 3 hours.

7. Can I wake the GPS up remotely if under deep sleeping mode e.g.: *sleepv* or

*sleep*3*

Answer: No, it can’t wake up remotely. *sleepv* only wake up when it detect motion; *sleep*3*

only wake up after 3 hours. Can’t wake the GPS trackers by SMS remotely. However, if you

press the “ON” button for 5 times by hand to wake the device up

8. When I set sleeping mode for my GPS, then power off the device, and power on again ,

can it remember the old setting?

Answer: Yes, it can. However, it will stay “ awake” for 12 minutes because it treat you “power

on/off” as motion. After 12 minutes, it will go to sleep mode again.

9. What does *routetrack* command mean?

Answer: routetrack default setting is: collecting interval = 10seconds, and uploading

interval=60seconds. It means it will upload 6 pieces of location each 1 minute, but it will work

only when the device is moving. If you want to set the routetrack function detailed, please

kindly use rsampling and rupload command.

If you set *routetrack*1*, it will upload 6 pieces of locations in each 1 minutes when the device

is moving, and keep this kind of working mode in the follow 1 hours. If you set *routetrack*2*, it

will upload 6 pieces of locations in each 1 minutes when the device is moving, and keep this

kind of working mode in the follow 2 hours. If you set *routetrack*99*, It will upload 6 pieces of

locations in each 1 minutes when the device is moving, and keep this kind of working mode

forever.

10. What’s the difference between “routetrack” and “rsampling” / “rupload”

Answer: routetrack is a rough setting with collecting interval = 10seconds, and uploading

interval=60seconds. However, rsampling is used to set the detailed collecting interval, and

rupload is used to set the detailed upload interval.
