MEITRACK MT90 User Guide 7.3 Listen-in A72 The command is used to listen in to the surrounding environment. After the setting, the device is allowed to confidentially and automatically answer a phone and enters listen-in state for one-way communication. Note: If Auto Answer Incoming Call and Monitor are set for a same phone number, only Auto Answer Incoming Call takes effect. To implement the listen-in function, do not set Auto Answer Incoming Call for the phone number, or clear all phone numbers by sending 0000,A71. SMS text:

It indiates that the listen-in number is set successfully. When the preset monitor number calls the MT90, the MT90 will answer the call automatically and enter the listen-in state. Meanwhile, the device will not make any noise. Note:
Phone number: A maximum of two monitor numbers can be set. Each phone number contains at most 16 digits. If only one monitor number is set, the number must be separated by a comma (,) to avoid setting failures. If no phone numbers are set and commas are remained, phone numbers set before will be deleted. The phone numbers are blank by default. Example: 0000,A72,13844444444,13855555555 Reply: 353358017784062,A72,OK To clear all monitor numbers, send 0000,A72. 7.4 Smart Sleep A73 This command is used to enable the sleep mode function, prolonging device standby time. The standby time of the MT90(V4)/MT90_S can be prolonged to 240 hours, while the standby time of the MT90 can be prolonged to 45 hours. SMS text:
0000,A73,Sleep level Send the text to the embedded SIM card phone number. The MT90 automatically replies to the SMS: IMEI,A73,OK. It indicates that the sleep mode is set successfully. To enable the GPS Log or scheduled tracking function, disable the sleep mode. Note:
When the sleep level is 0 (default value), the sleep mode is disabled. When the sleep level is 1, the tracker enters the normal sleep mode. The GSM module always works, and the GPS module occasionally enters the sleep mode. The tracker works 25% longer in the normal sleep mode than that in the normal working mode. The mode is not recommended for users who set the scheduled tracking at a short interval. In this way, the mode will affect trace integrity. When the sleep level is 2, the tracker enters the deep sleep mode. If the tracker is inactive (no SOS/any triggering by a button/incoming call/message) for 5 minutes, the GPS module stops working and the GSM and MCU modules enter the sleep mode. The GPS/GSM/MCU module will be woken up if the tracker is activated (by SOS/any triggering by a button/incoming call/message). After that, it will repeat above processes. The MT90 can enter sleep mode under vibration, and vibration cannot wake the MT90 up from sleep mode. In any condition, you can use an SMS or a GPRS command to disable the sleep mode, and then the tracker exits the sleep mode and switches back to the normal working mode.

MEITRACK MT90 User Guide In deep sleep mode, if you want to obtain the location by SMS/call and the GPS cannot be positioned within 5 minutes, the device will reply a link with the GPS map instead of location information. After the device enters the deep sleep mode, functions of Track By Time Interval, Track By Distance, and GPSLog are not available until you manually disable the sleep mode. The device can be woken up from the sleep mode by pressing a key, call, or SMS. After an event is handled, the device will enter the sleep mode again. Example: 0000,A73,2 Reply: 353358017784062,A73,OK 7.5 SMS Time Zone B35 This command is used to change the SMS report time zone. The default time zone of the tracker is GMT 0. To change the time zone, follow the following instructions:
SMS text:
0000,B35,SMS minute Send the text to the embedded SIM card phone number. The MT90 automatically replies to the SMS: IMEI,B35,OK. It indicates that the time zone is set successfully. Note: The time zone is in unit of minutes. The default time zone of the tracker is GMT 0, and the time zone of SMS reports is different from that of GPRS data packets. The GPS Log time zone is GMT 0. When SMS minute is 0, the time zone is GMT 0 (default time zone). When SMS minute is a value ranging from -32768 to 32767, set time zones. Set the China time zone value to 480. Example: 0000,B35,480 Reply: 353358017784062,B35,OK (The time zone is set to Beijing time successfully.)

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information:
(FCC ID:
GPS Tracker This GPS Tracker meets the government's requirements for exposure to radio waves. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons regardless of age or health. FCC RF Exposure Information and Statement The SAR limit of USA (FCC) is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue. Device types:
2AFO2MT90) has also been tested against this SAR limit. The highest SAR value reported under this standard during product certification for use at the ear is 0.741W/kg and when properly worn on the body is 0.745 W/kg. This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the handset kept 00cm from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use accessories that maintain a 00cm separation distance between the user's body and the back of the handset. The use of belt clips, holsters and similar accessories should not contain metallic components in its assembly. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided. Body-worn Operation This device was tested for typical body-worn operations. To comply with RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.0 cm must be maintained between the users body and the handset, including the antenna. Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories used by this device should not contain any metallic components. Body-worn accessories that do not meet these requirements may not comply with RF exposure requirements and should be avoided. Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Note: The EUT have a speaker and in normal use when the end user make a call they will not get it close to ear and only in front of face.
