GPS tracking system To turn off this function, please send AGPS0 Very important: to be able to use AGPS function, user also need to set APN, but can be off. 18. Fall down alarm For the elderly who fall and are unable to get back up on their own and this may cause a devastating consequence. How it works:
The device must sense height, impact and angle etc. The height must above 1 meter, and angle change over 45 degrees. The authorized numbers will be alerted without the user pushing SOS button when the fall sensor is activated. Due to the daily life activities (like some sports, sit back on a coach, etc.), sometimes device may detect a fall incorrectly, this situation may cause false alarm. However, users can manually cancel the fall alert by pressing SOS button during its beeping. Very Important: Because it still has few chances for the non-detected falling down, we still strongly recommend user to press SOS button when it has emergency situation. Command: FL1,1 or FL1,2 or FL1,3 or FL1,4 or FL1,5 or FL1,6 or FL1,7 or FL1,8 or FL1,9 1 equals most sensitive, 9 equals least sensitive. Example: FL1,1 After send FL1, device will send SMS alarm to all registered phone numbers once detect fall. SMS alarm and call for fall down detection Command: FL2 After send FL2, device will send SMS alarm to all registered phone numbers once detect fall. It will also dial the 3 authorized numbers in sequence. To turn off this function, please send FL0

GPS tracking system Both WCDMA and GPS chip will be off to save power, the device is unable to receive calls or SMS. It can be only activated by movement. Once movement is detected, it will run for the set time and sleep again if no movement is detected. Battery can last 40 days if no movement at all. To turn off this function, send DS0 4. Working mode (4) Command: Mode4 In this working mode, device can always receive SMS, calls. But GPS chip only wakes up and updates location to the tracking platform if user press button or receive phone call/text message. Without press button or phone call/text message, GPS chip will always sleep. 5. Time interval working mode (5) Command: Mode5,xxS/M/H Note: xx=00~99, S=second, M=Minute, H=Hour Example: Mode5,10M Device will update location to the tracking platform every 10 minutes. In this working mode, device can always receive SMS, calls. And it updates location to the tracking platform according to the time you set.

GPS tracking system How to connect device to the platform for real time tracking via WCDMA network. Open the link www.smart-tracking.com in your computer and login with your user ID and password. For more information pls contact the seller. WCDMA network Settings by SMS 1. APN setting In order to use the WCDMA network function, the user needs to setup the APN by sending SMS command.
--What is APN? Access point name (APN) is the name used to identify a general packet radio service (WCDMA network) bearer service in the cellular mobile network. The APN defines the type of service that is provided in the packet data connection. Make sure that the SIM card in the tracker supports the WCDMA network function. The APN can be acquired from your local network operators. Command: S1, APN, user name, password Notes: Some access point name without user name and password, so please leave it blank. Example: S1,internet internet is the APN from the SIM card provider; therefore, the user must set their particular APN for their own country which the unit resides. After sending the command, the device will reply Set APN OK! WCDMA network connecting After send S1,APN, wait for a while then you will see device is online.
