B. System Introduction
AVL-900 is a high-tech product through cooperation with mobile operators. It
combines GPS Global Positioning System and GSM/GPRS communication system,
which can clearly inform you the position & situation of your car.
GPS is the abbreviation for Global Positioning System, which is a product of the
cold war between USA and USSR. During the cold war, USA arranged 24 position
location satellites around the earth orbit, in order to measure the space coordinate
and time of the measured objects through the triangular location method. These
satellites were initially for military purpose. Then, they were allowed to be used for
civilian purpose. Their locating precision can be kept within 10 to 15 meters.
GSM is the second digital mobile communication system (GPRS, second and
fifth digital mobile communication system), and at present it is the mobile
communication system that has the largest coverage and owns the most number of
users. This product combines GPS and GSM/GPRS technologies together. It uses
GPS system to locate your car, and sends the position/ situation report back to you
via GSM/GPRS communication system.
With a delicate microphone, you can monitor the present situation in your car
from a faraway place. You can use the telephone remote control function to set
monitoring mode, which will report the situation of your car to you periodically.
Following are the function descriptions for the AVL-900 products.
1. In-Car Monitoring Function
You can monitor the situation inside the vehicle by make a call (after 5 rings) to
the unit; or by sending a SMS message (100) to the unit; it will return phone call
automatically for monitoring action.
2. GPS Position Tracking Function
With this function, the vehicle owner will be able to know the geographic
coordinates, speed, direction, and other related information of the car anytime in
any place. The report methods can be via SMS short message service, or via
GPRS. You can also select a one time report or continuous report (tracking
function).

2. Precaution before Installation
zCheck if all the parts are included.
zPrepare a SIM card for GSM/ GPRS communication (It must have GPRS
function). Use some other mobile phone to confirm that the PIN code has not
been set, and that it can dial out and receive telephone calls without problem.
zBefore install the SIM card, make sure to cut off power from the AVL unit. The
correct installation method is to push the tray completely into the AVL unit, until
you feel it is hooked by something.
zFind a suitable place inside the car for installing the unit.
zCheck if all the wiring has been connected correctly; then connect theAVL unit
to the power source.

(4) Insert the SIM card by sliding it into the card holder slot, with the chip
module facing to the connectors on PCB, as shown in the picture.
(5) Flip down the holder top.
(6) Push the holder top leftward, and let it snap in completely.
(7) Put back the bottom cover and screw it up.
※Make sure to turn off the power before install the SIM card.
※Make sure to deactivate the PIN code, so that the SIM card can operate without
PIN protection.

Step 3: Connect GPS Antenna
GPS antenna is used to receive satellite signals in the sky. It should be
positioned at a place where it will have an unobstructed view of the sky. The
ideal location is top of the dashboard or close to the rear window of the car.
GPS antenna can pick up signals through glass and plastic, but will not “see
the sky” through metal or other conductive surfaces. To avoid distractions of
GPS signal, make sure the antenna is not covered or shielded by any object
containing metal, such as the metallic windshield.
If your car is with metallic windshield, please cut a hole on the windshield
above the place where you put the GPS antenna, so that the antenna can
receive the GPS signals.
Step 4: Connect to the power source, and
turn on the unit
Step 5: Check if GPS can works properly
※Method：When GPS has got position fixed, the
GPS LED will turn from constant glow to “blinking
light”. Check if the GPS LED has turned to “blinking
light”.
