GL500 User manual 1 Introduction GL500 is a powerful GPS tracker designed for fixed asset tracking applications.GL500 work with two CR123A lithium-batterys.GL500 wakes up every 1-40hours and sends the info and then return to deepsleep.GL500 can standby 1000days. With built-in motion sensor, GL500 can also detect the motion of asset all the time and give a warning message. Based integrated @track protocol, the GL500 can communicate with a backend server through the GPRS/GSM network to transfer reports of emergency, geo-fence boundary crossings, low battery or scheduled GPS position along with many other useful functions. System Integrators can easily setup their tracking systems based on the full-featured @Track protocol. This device complies with part 15B, part 22 and part 24 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference.
(2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation. 1.1. Reference Table 1. GL500 Protocol Reference SN Document name
