Page 5: Initial Setup
Initial Setup SIM Card Setup 1. In order to use your PrePaid Telstra service in the GPS unit you need to contact Telstra and register the PrePaid account using your information. 2. During the setup they should ask if you wish to select a PrePaid plan to use with the new PrePaid service. - Page 6 3. Insert the SIM Card You can now insert your SIM card into the GPS unit. It is inserted as per the diagram below (with the chip facing up). Use the supplied plastic tool which can be found next to the GPS Tracker in the package you received to push the SIM in place until it snaps in place.
- Page 7 Note: The Green Mobile Signal light on the right side can be hard to see if the sun is out. Shield the GPS with your hand and look closely to confirm the light is on. 7. If all 3 lights are staying solid and not flashing you can proceed to use the SMS functions to setup and test your new GPS!

Page 8: Installation Locations
Installation Locations Because your new GPS Tracker needs to connect to satellites when it is parked and also moving, it is critical that it is not installed under any metal pieces in your vehicle. Most GPS Tracker guides recommend installation in the front windscreen or rear window compartments, however we don’t recommend these as the units are quite obvious. -
Page 9: Alternative Locations
Alternative Locations If the A pillar trim cannot be simply removed, you have curtain airbags behind it or you cannot get constant 12 volt power behind it you will need to select another location. The wiring method is the same for any position on vehicle, but bear in mind that you may need to extend the wiring if you install away from a 12 volt power source or the fuel pump wires (if using the fuel cut off). -
Page 10: Wiring Instructions
Wiring Instructions The GPS Tracker has lots of functionality in a small unit, however you don’t need to connect all wires in order to make use of the core GPS Tracking functions. This section will provide a breakdown of the simple and advanced installation. -
Page 11: Simple Wiring
Simple Wiring The GPS Tracker will function and communicate location information with just the 12 volt positive and negative wires connected with the main plug. This is the simplest installation and handy if you need to quickly connect the GPS but don’t have time to wire in all functions, or if you just want a simple to use tracker. -
Page 12: Light Descriptions
Light Descriptions The lights on the GPS Tracker communicate the current status of the device so you can establish if it is connecting to Power, GPS Satellites and Mobile Signal correctly. Note: The lights on the GPS turns off after a few minutes of no communication to save battery. Simply SMS or move the GPS to wake it up. -
Page 13: Basic Gps Settings
Basic GPS Settings The GPS unit is controlled via SMS and basically has a small mobile phone inside it. Once you have inserted the SIM Card you SMS the GPS unit from your mobile phone just as if you were SMSing a friend. Depending on the command you send, the GPS unit will translate the SMS, perform the function and send a reply to you via return SMS. -
Page 14: Check Current Sos Mobile Number(S)
Check current SOS mobile number(s) Send an SMS with “SOS#” If successful, the GPS will reply with ‘SOS Number: 1 <mobilenumber> 2 <mobilenumber> 3 <mobilenumber>’ Check GPS unit status Send an SMS with “STATUS#” If successful, the GPS will reply with all settings currently configured in the GPS. This is useful for checking the settings when you are setting up more complex features like server or app tracking. -
Page 15: Set A Password For Controlling The Tracker
Set a password for controlling the tracker It is recommended once you have configured the tracker that a password is set for the unit. This password needs to be input with every command sent, hence only doing it once you have completed setup and won’t be sending as many commands to the tracker. -
Page 16: Getting Gps Location
Getting GPS Location GPS Coordinates & Speed Send an SMS with “WHERE#” The GPS will reply with an SMS containing the location of the vehicle in GPS coordinates, current speed and the time. This function is very useful to know if your car is moving at the current time. You can use it in conjunction with the next Google Maps command to firstly know the speed, and once it is stopped, check the location. -
Page 17: Geo-Fence
Geo-Fence A virtual ‘fence’ can be setup around your vehicle to alert you if it is moved from a specific location. The Geo-Fence as it is called, it as circular geographic distance around where your vehicle is parked. The Geo-Fence command is a bit complex at first but it’s simple once you do it a couple of times. The most complex part is the Latitude &... -
Page 18: Sos Alarm
o If successful the GPS will reply “Fence Alarm Setting OK” o Note in the above command that the radius is set to 1. This is because it automatically multiplies it by 100 so in the above example the RADIUS is 100 meters. If you set the variable to 5 the RADIUS of the Geo-Fence circle would be 500 meters. -
Page 19: Fuel /Power Cut Off
Fuel /Power Cut Off The most advanced feature of the GPS (and most complex to install) is the fuel cut off. This function intercepts the signal to the fuel pump and stops the engine from running. It is useful if you know where the car is and are ready to recover it (possibly with the Police). -
Page 20: Gps Tracking Advanced Functions
GPS Tracking Advanced Functions The GPS Tracker has the ability to communicate with a server so that you can view and tracker your vehicle via an online portal. This function can be used with many different online tracking portals as they all function in essentially the same way –... -
