SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
Telematics protocol
MPTP (Mobile Phone Telematic Protocol) allows, among
other things, tracking of the device over the SMS communi-
cation.
Automatically sent telematics messages are only allowed to
authorised numbers configured in the device. Such num-
bers can be, e.g. emergency and service center numbers.
Position of the device is retrieved by the GPS, or by the net-
work parameters - the latter is a network-dependent service.
The carrier for telematics messages is an SMS-message. De-
liveries of all messages is fully handled by and in the respon-
sibility of the GSM network operator and services can vary
substantially.
The charge of a protocol message is determined on the con-
tract by the service provider.
GPS
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the gov-
ernment of the United States, which is solely responsible for
its accuracy and maintenance. The system is subject to
changes that could affect the accuracy and performance of
all GPS equipment.
Emergency calls
The device is an aid and should never be relied upon as an
only emergency device. Its functionality is dependent on
GSM network and GPS satellites which may not be available
all the time.
To make emergency calls, the device must be turned on and
located in an area with adequate GSM network signal
strength. Making BeneGuard emergency call also requires
GPS satellite coverage and a valid SIM-card.
Emergency calls may not be possible on all GSM phone net-
works or when certain network services or phone features
are in use. In unclear cases, consult the network operator.
