How to use the car gps tracker after installation?

The use of gps car tracker devices is very broad, especially for the automotive finance risk control industry, I believe many people know. But there are still people who ask: Is it possible to install a GPS locator on the car and start using it immediately? If you do, you will find that it is not possible.

In fact, after the car has a GPS locator, activating the GPS locator is another important step. For many novices, it is not clear how to activate and use gps car tracker devices. Then let's talk about how the general GPS locator is activated.

First of all, we all know that GPS positioning terminals are mainly divided into wired GPS positioners, wireless GPS positioners and OBD interface positioners. The wireless GPS locator is relatively simple to install, just find a place in the car to hide the device.

Wired and wireless locators are installed in somewhat different ways. The wired locator needs to be connected to the vehicle power supply in order to work continuously for 24 hours. The wireless locator is usually fully charged at a time, and standby and use days can be determined according to the battery size and positioning frequency of the locator.

After installing the device, come down and install the card for the device. The function of the card is to provide network transmission for the device, so that the device can transmit information to the station.

Whether wired or wireless, the steps to install a SIM card are usually as follows:

① Open the back cover of the locator or the SIM card slot plug of the locator; ② Insert the card correctly according to the card picture on the locator; ③ Close the back cover or slot plug.

After the SIM card is installed, the locator is powered on, and the wiring locator finds the positive and negative terminals of the car power supply. The negative electrode is easy to find, where the body is lined with iron, and the positive electrode is found in the safe, near the car key switch, or directly connected to the battery. Of course, it is best to find professional and technical personnel who understand car circuits!

But it is best to connect the normal power, that is, not affected by the car key switch, directly from the car battery to the power line; The side of the locator with the light should be facing the sky, and the side facing the sky should not cling to the metal object blocking the internal GPS antenna, which also needs to receive signals from 20,000 kilometers away.

In summary, gps car tracker devices are activated in three steps: 1. Install SIM card; 2. Switch on the positioner power supply and turn on the switch; 3. Take the vehicle or locator outside for a period of time, and the car gps tracker can be activated.
