Tracking with Bluetooth Decoder
1. Establish connection between Tracker and Bluetooth Decoder
From a telephone or mobile phone, dial the phone number of the SIM card inside the
tracker. Connect your phone to the decoder by placing the decoder microphone on the
phone speaker. The Bluetooth decoder will then convert the analog voice data back to
real-time GPS digital NEMA messages. Please set power switch to the right position
(Bluetooth) to use Blueooth connection.
2. Checking Decoder status
Solid orange LED ( ) followed by blinking red LED ( ) means that the data is valid
and you have a real time position data. If the orange LED is blinking, then it means the
tracker is not able to get enough satellite to provide real time position. The report position
will be at location where the tracker has the last fix. Solid green LED ( ) means the
voice from the phone is valid. If the green LED is not available, please check the cables
and make sure they are connected. Also, please turn up the volume if you are using the
included microphone cable.
3. Pairing Bluetooth Decoder to PDA, SmartPhone, or laptop
Bluetooth decoder can be connected to a Bluetooth enabled PDA, SmarPhone or laptop
through serial port profile (SPP). Please refer to the Bluetooth setup section (appendix) for
detail setup instruction for different devices. Solid blue LED ( ) means you have a
Bluetooth connection with the host device. With optional PDA or USB cable, it is also
possible to connect Bluetooth decoder to a PDA or Computer via direct wire connection.
4. Locate Tracker with any NMEA compatible mapping software
Using any NMEA compliant software such as Microsoft Street and Trips, iGuidance, or
TomTom Navigator, you can select the com port assigned by the Bluetooth manager as
outgoing comport and the tracker location will be displayed on the screen.
5. Installaing i.Trek Real Time Tracker software
