The Per sonal Tracker is a small, por ta ble GSM/GPRS de vice de vel oped for per sonal safety. Thanks to the red panic but ton, lo cated in the mid dle of the unit, us ers can send an in stant re quest for help to a Sur veil lance Cen tre (or a se ries of re cip i ents), in di cat ing their geo graph ical co or di nates to fa cil i tate prompt intervention. The Op er a tional Con trol Unit can en ter into a con ver sa tion the user in dif fi - culty, re quest their po si tion at any time and, if nec es sary, ac ti vate the track ing op tion to mon i tor their move ments in real time. Us ers can also con trol the Per sonal Tracker, by sim ply send ing the de vice text mes sages in SMS for mat re spect ing the pre de fined commands.

This could cause dam age to the bat tery and will nev er the less re duce its service life. - Ob serve all pre cau tions nec es sary for proper bat tery us age, as set out in para graphs 2.1, 2.5, 2.7 and Precautions regarding SMS commands The PT-100 device includes features that are activated via SMS commands. By default, it has a programming password, which must also be included in the SMS command. If the password is disabled, the PT-100 may mistakenly interpret the sequences of letters recognised in any SMS received (e.g. promotional messages sent by the operator) as commands Precautions regarding GSM/GPRS traffic costs Please check the rate ap plied by the op er a tor of the SIM used in the PT-100 de vice care fully. Some con tracts, in fact, have fixed daily costs for GPRS con nec tions re gard less of traf fic and this could in crease your monthly spend ing. Also re mem ber that the trans mis sion of SMS mes sages has a very high cost com pared to the cost of Kbytes trans mit ted via GPRS Packaging and disposal The PT-100 de vice is pack aged in spe cial card board pack ag ing.

In or der to dis tin guish the type of re sponse, the PT-100 acts de pend ing on the num ber re cog nised and the type of in com ing call: - If there is an IP ad dress/hostname pro grammed for the op er a tional con trol unit, the num ber from which the call is be ing made is checked: - un known num ber: hangs up and ac ti vates GPRS mode to the O.C.U.; - num ber in phone book: ac ti vates the ring tone like a nor mal phone. - If there is no IP ad dress/hostname pro grammed for the op er a tional con trol unit: ac ti vates the ring tone like a nor mal phone. - If the num ber from which the call is made is the one shown on the MVC Communicator In staller Ac cess page, the type of call is checked: - if it is a Voice call and the in staller's IP ad dress/hostname is pres ent, it hangs up and ac ti vates GPRS mode to the lat ter ad dress; - if it is a Data call, it re sponds by act ing like a mo dem and es tab lish ing a data con nec tion with time-based bill ing. Pag. 16

20 English Cap. 5 - Operation En ergy sav ing fea tures - Mo tion de tec tor Like all bat tery-pow ered de vices, the op ti mi sa tion of con sump tion is cru cial in or der to en sure max i mum au ton omy. In this de vice, en ergy sav ing is mainly based on turn ing on the GPS re ceiver at set intervals. When the PT-100 is switched on or re set, the GPS re ceiver is switched on to ob tain a valid po si tion, called a "FIX". This po si tion must be ob tained within a cer tain pro gram ma ble time, for ex am ple 5 min utes, so that if the GPS is in con di tions of poor vis i bil ity of the sat el lites (for ex am ple in side build ings), it is not kept on unnecessarily. Once the valid po si tion (FIX) is ob tained, it is stored in the PT-100 log and the re ceiver switches it self off. Sub se quent power on oc curs af ter a pro grammed time and this also de - pends on the de tec tion of a move ment. The PT-100 ac tu ally fea tures a three-axis ac cel er om e ter that makes it pos si ble to de tects move ments or changes in inclination. Two dif fer ent times can, there fore, be pro grammed for the re start of the GPS and to es tab lish a valid po si tion (FIX): - GPS standby time with de vice sta tion ary. Ex am ple: 20 min utes; - GPS standby time with de vice in mo tion. Ex am ple: 2 min utes. The "GPS standby time with de vice in mo tion" must be shorter than the other one, oth er wise this fea ture re mains un used. All of this ensures good resolution with the device in motion and considerable energy saving when it is stationary. Ev ery time the PT-100 must trans mit a po si tion on man ual alarm or dur ing poll ing, it uses the last po si tion stored in the log. Charg ing the bat tery - Bat tery care The Li-Ion bat tery is re charged via USB con nec tion to PC or via the spe cial charger and is sup plied with a 230 V mains bat tery charger (model SAS-ALR.001), but the op tional 12 V model (model SAS-ALC.001) is also avail able. The bat tery is charged when ever the de vice is con nected to a USB port. The Li-ion bat ter ies have no mem ory ef fect so the de vice can be charged at any time. In side the PT-100 is a spe cial cir cuit to au to mat i cally ad just the charg ing cur rent for this type of bat tery and stop when it is charged. The max i mum charg ing cur rent de pends on the type of con nec tion: the 230 VAC or 12 VDC bat tery charg ers de liver more cur rent than the com puter's Pag. 17

21 Cap. 5 - Operation English USB port. The in dic a tive times for a full charge, as sum ing a fully flat battery, are as follows: - about 5-6 hours us ing the charger pow ered by mains volt age; - about 15 hours with charg ing from the USB port of your PC. In the case of pro longed in ac tiv ity of the PT-100, it is rec om mended to charge the bat tery at least once ev ery 4 months. Low Bat tery Man age ment: send ing event and re cov ery, in di - ca tions on the display Low bat tery in for ma tion, if en abled, is sent when the volt age drops to 3.5 volts while re cov ery takes place when it has re turned to 3.7 volts. The check can only be made if the charger is dis con nected. If the volt age drops to 3.3V, the de vice turns off to avoid dam ag ing the bat tery and can only be turned man u ally. The dis play will show the bat tery sta tus based on the mea sured volt age and is in di cated by the fill ing of the icon. Here are some indicative levels: V Batt 4V V Batt 3,75V V Batt <3,5V Battery charged Battery half charged Low battery Track ing Fea ture Us ing the track ing fea ture, it is pos si ble to ob tain more po si tions (FIX) from the Per sonal Tracker com pared with stan dard pro gram ming, in or der to ob - tain more in for ma tion about the mo tion tak ing place. In this case, the power on of the GPS is sub ject to the pa ram e ter set to "GPS standby time with de vice in track ing mode" (see page 36). The Track ing fea - ture can be ac ti vated in two ways: Manually via the MvsNET con trol unit, or by the user using the pre set "TRACK" com mands (see page 15). Automatically based on the posi tion of the device in rela tion to the pro grammed tar gets. Us ing Tar gets Tar gets are cir cu lar ar eas lo cated on the Earth's sur face of which the co or di - nates of the cen tre and ra dius are de fined. They can be con fig ured ei ther lo cally, en ter ing data from the MVC soft ware, or via the MvsNET Op er a tional Pag. 18

22 English Cap. 5 - Operation Con trol Unit. For each tar get, you can choose how to send the events (in both In put/out put and the po si tions rel a tive to Tracking, when active). By set ting "In side track ing", the fea ture is ac ti vated au to mat i cally when ever the de vice is in side a tar get, con versely, set ting "Out side track ing" means the fea ture re mains ac tive un til the de vice is lo cated outside the target. The tar gets can be used for: "Cer ti fy ing" that the device has reached a cer tain posi tion (with the rel - a tive time). The min i mum time spent in the tar get is what allows you to have at least one set posi tion (FIX) inside it. Increas ing the res o lu tion of the move ments in cer tain areas with the track ing fea ture and trans mit ting the posi tion to each FIX when the device is located inside the tar get. In this case, better time res o lu tion (i.e. more fre quent FIXES) are required, because the tar get area could be "dangerous". Ap pen dix 2 (on page 44) shows those who wish to do so how to cal cu late the min i mum ra dius that tar gets should have for op ti mum op er a tion. In any case, the ap prox i mate val ues may be as follows: m ra dius for walk ing routes m ra dius for car jour neys with a max i mum speed of 50 km/h m ra dius for car jour neys with a max i mum speed of 90 km/h Pag. 19
