Revision History Revision 1.00 Date 2016-06-16 Author Super Zhao Description of change Initial QUECLINK GV304N User Manual 1. Introduction The GV304N 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 GV304N has multiple input/output interfaces that can be used for monitoring or controlling external devices. Based on the integrated @Track protocol, the GV304N 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 GV304N 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. 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. QUECLINK GV304N User Manual 1.1 Reference SN Document name

QUECLINK GV304N User Manual 3. GettingStarted 3.1. Opening the Case Figure 3. Opening the Case As shown, Roll the four screws counter clockwise with a screwdriver ,you can easily open the product. 3.2. Closing the Case Figure 4. Closing the Case Place the cover on the bottom in the position as shown in the following figure. Use a screwdriver clockwise to tighten four screws. 3.3. Installing a SIM Card Open the case and ensure the unit is not powered (unplug the 16Pin cable and switch the internal battery to off position). Slide the holder right to open the SIM card. Insert the SIM card into the holder as shown below with the gold-colored contact area facing down taking care to align the cut TRACGV304NUM001 - 19 -

QUECLINK GV304N User Manual 3.5. Switch ON the Backup Battery To use the GV304N backup battery, the switch must be at the ON position. Switch on the case and ON/OFF position are shown below. Figure 7. Switch and ON/OFF position Note:
1. The switch must be on the OFF position when shipped on an aircraft. 2. When the switch is on the OFF position, the battery cannot be charged or discharged. 3.6. Installing the External GPS Antenna (Optional) There is a SMA GPS antenna connector on GV304N. The GV304N will automatically detect and use an external antenna when connected. Figure 8.

QUECLINK GV304N User Manual 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 up. 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 backend server when ignition is on; and enter power saving mode when ignition is off. There are three general purpose digital inputs on GV304N. They are all negative trigger. 3.9. Digital Inputs Table 8.
