This section contains important information
for effective and safe operation. Please
read the information below before using
AutoGRAPH-GSM on-board vehicle tracking
controllers.
Performance Characteristics
AutoGRAPH-GSM on-board vehicle tracking
controllers operate using a GSM/GPRS
module and function as a low power receiver
and transmitter. When the device is ON,
it receives and transmits electromagnetic
energy in the radiofrequency range.
Operating band of the device ranges from
900 MHz to 1,990 MHz; the device uses
digital modulation techniques.
When the device is in operation, a call service
system controls the strength of sent-out RF
signal.
Exposure to Electromagnetic
Fields
The design of the AutoGRAPH-GSM on-
board vehicle-tracking controller complies
with the following standards, which specify
the safe levels of exposure to radiofrequency
electromagnetic fields:

Safe Operation Recommendations
Antennas
Use only original supplied antennas.
Antennas that have been modified may
damage the device or cause violations of
statutory rules and regulations.
DO NOT touch the GSM antenna of the
device while it is in operation. This can impair
communication quality and give rise to an
undesired increase in radiated power.
DO NOT touch the GPS antenna of the
device while it is in operation. This can
impair the quality of reception and result in
inaccurate positioning.
DO NOT use a device with a defective
antenna. If there are any defects in antenna
or antenna cable, replace the antenna or
consult your local dealer as soon as possible.
Electromagnetic Interference and
Compatibility
Almost any electronic device is subjected
to electromagnetic interference unless it is
adequately shielded, has proper construction
or is compatible with devices operating in
another frequency band.
Prohibition on Use of Mobile
Communication Devices
If you come across a signage or a notice, which
prohibits the use of mobile communication
devices, turn off your tracker. This is required
to avoid electromagnetic interference with
equipment sensitive to electromagnetic
fields often used in hospitals, health care
institutions or petrol stations.
Medical Devices
Cardiac Pacemakers
Medical Device Manufacturers Association
advises to use mobile communication devices
at distances greater than 15 cm from cardiac
pacemaker so as to prevent the failure of
the latter. These recommendations conform
to the studies carried out by independent
