HOW TO QUICKLY SET UP THE TRACKER

STEP 1. – Activate Sim 
Install the new SIM card with 2G(GSM) or 4G network function into your mobile phone and activate the SIM card. Make sure it can make a call, send a text, and has an internet connection. Once this is confirmed, insert the SIM into your tracker. 

STEP 2. – Turn on the tracker 

  • Charge it for about 1 hour first. 
  • The yellow and blue indicator lights will start flashing while it searches for a network and GPS. 
  • Please wait 5 minutes in a good reception area (by a window or outside) for both lights to come on constantly. It will continue to flash yellow if it can not find a network. Move it to another location. 
  • Please note, when the device has a GPS signal, it will get a GPS location. If not, it will get its location using LBS. 

STEP 3. - Setting APN for the tracker 

  1. You need to know your tracker’s SIM card's APN (Every SIM card carrier has its own APN content. We have three methods to find out APN content: check the SIM card carrier on the internet or put the SIM card into the cell phone to find out APN, or you can ask your SIM card's provider.
  2. Please note the following operations needed: From another phone number , send a text message command to the tracker’s SIM card’s phone number to set the tracker's APN.

For example: 
APN is: everywhere 
APN username is: eesecure APN password is: secure 

  1. If your SIM card’s APN does not require a username and password, then send the command(8030000+space+APN) to the tracker, and it will reply “SET OK”. Text command is: 8030000 everywhere
  2. If your APN has with username and password:
    Then send text Command (8030000+Space+APN+space+APN user+Space+APN pass) to the tracker : 8030000 everywhere eesecure secure
    Please note: Different SIM card has different AAPNs. Please apply the above formula according to your actual APN to set up your machine.

STEP 4. - Setting GPRS mode 

  • Send text command to the device to set GPRS mode:7100000 
  • Then wait about 30 seconds, both blue and orange lights should stay O, N, which means you can now log in to the Sinotrackpro web or app to check if the tracker is active. (Username is your tracker’s ID number that is written on the product, password: 123456) 
  • If you set it all up, you can track it online. If it is online but shows the China location, then take it to the outside, which signals a good place to get a GPRS signal. When it gets a signal, it will update your location.
