Getting Started 5.1. Opening and Closing the Case Figure 4. Opening and Closing the Case To open: Insert the opener into the gap of the case as shown above, and push the opener up until the case is unsnapped. To close: Place the cover on the bottom at the position as shown above. Slide the cover against the direction of the arrow until it snaps. 5.2. Installing a SIM Card Install the SIM card into the holder when power is off as shown below (unplug the 16-pin cable and switch the internal battery to OFF position). Take care to align the cut mark. Close the card holder and then close the case. Figure 5. SIM Card Installation TRACGV310LAUUM001 11 GV310LAU User Manual 5.3. Installing the Internal Backup Battery GV310LAU has an internal backup Li-ion battery. Figure 6. Backup Battery Installation 5.4. Switching on the Backup Battery To use the GV310LAU backup battery, the switch must be at the ON position. The switch and the ON/OFF position are shown as below. Internal Battery Switch Figure 7. Switch and ON/OFF Position Note:
The switch must be at the OFF position when the GV310LAU is shipped on an aircraft. When the switch is at the OFF position, the battery cannot be charged nor be discharged. 5.5. Installation of the External GPS Antenna (Optional) There is an SMA GPS antenna connector on GV310LAU. The GV310LAU will automatically detect and use the external antenna when it is connected. External GPS Antenna Connector Figure 8. External GPS Antenna of GV310LAU TRACGV310LAUUM001 12 GV310LAU User Manual 5.6. Power Supply Connection PWR (pin 11)/GND (pin 6) are the power input pins. 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. But it is recommended to use Power Protection Cable Kit if it is installed in a truck with 24V battery. Figure 9. Typical Power Connection 5.7. Ignition Detection IGN (pin 3) is used for ignition detection. It is recommended to connect this pin to the RUN position of the vehicle ignition switch as shown below. An alternative to connect 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 transmit information to the backend server when ignition is on and enter the power saving mode when ignition is off. Table 8.

Typical Connection with a LED Note: OUT1 will latch the output state during reset. Warning: Many modern relays come with a flyback diode pre-installed internal to the relay itself. If the relay has this diode, insure the relay polarity connected is properly used. If this diode is not internal, it should be added externally. A common diode such as a 1N4004 will work in most circumstances. TRACGV310LAUUM001 15 GV310LAU User Manual 5.11. Serial Port/UART Interface There are two lines dedicated to the Serial Port/UART interface (TXD/RXD). TXD/RXD is standard RS232 signal. Figure 16. Connection with RS232 Port 5.12. Motion Sensor Direction GV310LAU has an internal 3-axis accelerometer supporting driving behavior monitoring, crash detection and motion detection. The following shows the directions of the motion sensor. TRACGV310LAUUM001 16 GV310LAU User Manual 6. Installation Precautions Firmly install the device to a reliable surface to prevent falling off. Make the side with antenna face sky to have better signal reception. Do not install the device under metal surface or in enclosed environments having difficulty in getting GPS and network signal. TRACGV310LAUUM001 17 GV310LAU User Manual 7. Troubleshooting and Safety Info 7.1. Troubleshooting Table 11. GV310LAU Troubleshooting List Problem After the device is turned on, the CEL LED always flashes quickly. Possible Reason The signal is too weak. The device isnt registered to the network. cant Messages be reported to the backend server by network. APN is not right. The IP address or port of the backend server is wrong. Solution Move the device to a place with good network coverage. Ask the network operator for the right APN. Make sure the IP address for is an the backend server identified the Internet. address in There is no response from UART when the device is configured by using UART. The port is not ready or the device is not powered on. The device cant get GPS fix. The GPS signal is weak. Please check the port and the device to ensure they are working properly. Move the device to a place under open sky. It is better to make the side with antenna face the sky. 7.2. Safety Info Do not disassemble the device by yourself. Do not put the device in the overheated or too humid place, and avoid exposure to direct sunlight. Too high temperature will damage the device or even cause battery explosion. Do not use the device on the airplane or near medical equipment.
