<Notes> 

 

1.  The  device  will  include  MODEL/DISTANCE/CELL/MCC/MNC/RSSI/LAC/TM_ADV/SATT/SIG_GSM  if 

“ADD_INF = 1”. 

 

2.  In a case that the device has been configured not to check MOTION. In such a case, even though any 

motion is not made, the number of DISTANCE may increase little  by  little. In such a case, life time of 

the  battery  could  be  extended.  If  the  device  is  used  under  operation  conditions  having  a  very  good 

connectivity with GPS and GSM, it can be used approximately 5 days at a reporting interval of every 3 

minutes. 

 

3.  If Field of <FIX> has <F>, there is a possibility that the GPS Module would have a problem. In such a 

case, users have to contact Suntech.
