GV300N User manual 1. Introduction The GV300N is a powerful GPS locator designed for vehicle or asset tracking. It has superior receiver sensitivity, fast TTFF (Time to First Fix) and supports quad band GSM frequencies GSM850/GSM900/DCS/PCS. Its location can be monitored in real time or periodically tracked by a backend server or other specified terminals. The GV300N has multiple input/output interfaces that can be used for monitoring or controlling external devices. Based on the integrated @Track protocol, the GV300N can communicate with a backend server through the GPRS/GSM network to transfer reports of emergency, geo-fence boundary crossings, low backup battery and scheduled GPS position as well as many other useful functions. Users can also use GV300N to monitor the status of a vehicle and control the vehicle by its external relay output. System integrators can easily set up their tracking systems based on the full-featured @Track protocol. WARNING: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the users authority to operate the equipment. NOTE:

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. FCC RF Exposure Statement:
For the product, under normal use condition is at least 20cm away from the body of the user, the user must keeping at least 20cm distance to the product. TRACGV300NUM001

GV300N User manual 3. Get Started 3.1. Open the Case Figure 3. Open the Case Insert the triangular-pry-opener into the gap of the case as shown above, and push the opener up until the case is unsnapped. 3.2. Close the Case Figure 4. Close the Case Place the cover on the bottom in the position as shown in the figure above. Slide the cover against the direction of the arrow until it snaps. TRACGV300NUM001 - 13 -
GV300N User manual 3.3. Install a SIM Card Open the case and ensure the unit is not powered (unplug the 16Pin cable and switch the internal battery to the OFF position). Slide the holder right to open the SIM card holder. Insert the SIM card into the holder as shown below with the gold-colored contact area facing down. Take care to align the cut mark. Close the SIM card holder. Close the case. Figure 5. SIM Card Installation 3.4. Install the Internal Backup Battery Figure 6. Backup Battery Installation GV300N has an internal backup Li-ion battery. TRACGV300NUM001 - 14 -
GV300N User manual 3.5. Switch on the Backup Battery To use the GV300N backup battery, the switch must be in the ON position. The switch on the case and the ON/OFF position are shown below. Figure 7. Switch and ON/OFF Position Note:
1. The switch must be in the OFF position when the GV300N is shipped on an aircraft. 2. When the switch is in the OFF position, the battery cannot be charged or discharged. 3.6. Install the External GPS Antenna (Optional) There is a SMA GPS antenna connector on GV300N. The GV300N will automatically detect and use an external antenna when connected. Figure 8.

<3 PWR (PIN12)/GND (PIN6) is the power input pin. The input voltage range for this device is from 8V to 32V. The device is designed to be installed in vehicles that operate on 12V or 24V systems without the need for external transformers. Figure 9. Typical Power Connection TRACGV300NUM001 - 16 -
GV300N User manual 3.8. Ignition Detection Table 7. Electrical Characteristics of Ignition Detection Logical status Active Inactive Electrical characteristics 5.0V to 32V 0V to 3V or open Figure 10. Typical Ignition Detection IGN (Pin3) is used for ignition detection. It is strongly recommended to connect this pin to ignition key RUN position as shown above. An alternative to connecting to the ignition switch is to find a non-permanent power source that is only available when the vehicle is running, for example, the power source for the FM radio. IGN signal can be configured to start transmitting information to the backend server when ignition is on, and enter the power saving mode when ignition is off. 3.9. Digital Inputs There are three general purpose digital inputs on GV300N. They are all negative triggers. Table 8.

GV300N User manual Figure 15. Typical Connection with LED Note:
1. OUT1 will latch the output state during reset. 2. Many modern relays come with a flyback diode pre-installed internal to the relay itself. If the relay has this diode, ensure the relay polarity is properly connected. If this diode is not internal, it should be added externally. A common diode such as a 1N4004 will work in most circumstances. 3.12. Device Status LED Figure 16. GV300N LED on the Case TRACGV300NUM001 - 20 -
