TELEMATICS: SURVEILLANCE 23
CONFIGURING SETTINGS FOR THE BENEFON TRACK PRO
About telematics
Telematics is a kind of electric data transfer tech-
nique, which can also be used in wireless phone net-
works. Nowadays, telematics offers several new
services and applications, such as GPS-positioning
(which can be used e.g. in rescue operations) and dif-
ferent remote-controlled devices (which can be used
e.g. in medical equipment and emergency and service
centers).
All telematics functions require activation by the ser-
vice center: Activation is completed only after the ser-
vice center sends an acknowledgement message to
the phone.
In some cases telematic functions are entirely re-
motely configured and controlled (by the service cen-
ter), while in some cases tracking, area tracking and
condition check settings and initial activation/deacti-
vation can be done from the phone´s own menu (by
the end-user), as well.
All trackings cannot be turned on at the same time.
For detailed information, please check the MPTP doc-
ument.
Please note that if the phone is temporarily switched
off or the battery is removed, the tracking record
(e.g. amount of messages) will be reset and start
from the beginning.
Make sure that required
telematics settings are done
and essential phone numbers, such as
Service center
number
and
SMS service number
, are stored properly in
the phone. NOTE: Some functions and settings can be
secured by a security code. If the code is requested
for accessing some functions, you must key in the
code, first. For more, see
