1. Insert the SIM card, 

according to the picture 

to the right.

Check before inserting:

a. SIM card must be active 

(some GSM providers 

insist that the SIM card is 

registered before use).

b. That you have credits on 

your prepaid phone card

c. That the PIN code is inactive and that no voice 

mail is activated (check by inserting the card into a 

mobile phone) Check with your GSM provider if you 

are not sure. 

d. Caller ID support (verify that the telephone num-

ber of incoming calls are displayed by inserting the 

SIM card into a mobile phone)

e. Check that you inserted the SIM card the right 

way up (see the picture above)

f. The unit must be turned off before you insert the 

SIM card (there should be no connection

to ground, and no connection between the two 

black cables). This is also what you should do if you 

want to disengage the alarm during a longer period 

– make sure there is no connection to ground or 

between the two black cables. 

Take your time while following the instructions be-

low. Should it take too long between each step the 

alarm will go into its “sleep mode”. Wake it up again, 

simply by pressing the unlock-button on the remote 

control. When pressing the unlock-button, the RF 

LED should be turned on. This means the remote 

control has contact with the SBX-3. If this doesn’t 

work, see SBX-3 operating manual.  

2. Connect the SBX-3 as shown in the diagram on 

the next page. The red cable is connected to (+) and 

the two black cables to ground (-). If the grey cable 

is not being used, connect it to ground (-). Make 

sure you have good GPS - & GSM reception. 

3. Now the SBX-3 unit will read the SIM card. The 

red GPS LED is on and the green SYS LED is flas

-

hing. 

4. Press the T button four times 

on the remote control, and then 

the SOS button once. The SIM card 

is initialized with the basic settings (SETUP code 

and phone book entries). The red GPS LED is flas

-

hing, and the green SYS LED is on.

 

5. Wait until both the yellow GSM LED and the 

green SYS LED are flashing. The red GPS LED 

should be on, steady or flashing, depending on 

whether it has established contact with the GPS sa-

tellites. In other words, all LEDs are flashing when 

the system is activated! (You don’t have to wait for 

the red LED to start flashing before you go to step 

6.) 

Note!

 The red GPS LED should have started to 

flash within 60 minutes from activating the alarm. 

6. Now it is time to enter www.redknows.com and 

specify the phone numbers that should receive 

SMS from the SBX-3, and which number that 

should receive status SMS or listen through the 

microphone.
