Chapter 3
Do and Do not
3.1
DO
–
Plug the wire harness on the fuse box of the car, using the battery 12V or 24V to power the unit.
–
Put the MicroTracker under the dash board facing up, to let the GPS see the sky.
–
Go to a clear sky view area to first test the MicroTracker, as the GPS might have never got a fix before.
–
Setup periodic report when ignition is on, and move the tracker driving the car it is installed in. You
will be able to see good report position following your track.
–
Always wait for the SMS acknowledgment of each configuration command before sending a new
configuration command.
3.2
DO NOT
–
Put the MicroTracker facing down. It will adversely affect the GPS signal reception if the antenna is
not directed to the sky.
–
Restart, reconfigure the unit all the time, if the MicroTracker cannot get a good GPS fix, please wait,
first fix can take several minutes.
–
Setup heartbeat reports every 30sec, and leave the MicroTracker not moving. If it is the case you will
see a constellation of point around your position and that will not reflect the true quality of the GPS
receiver. Heartbeat report is here to enable periodic health check report, to ensure the MicroTracker
is well connected to the platform and still running well.
–
Send all the configurations commands in a row without waiting for the SMS acknowledgment.
