market. Save money for customers.
(4). GPS/OBD data upload in time, free to configure upload interval time, also free to configure GPS
with OBD data upload together, also can be separate. History route playback and OBD GPS data
real-time display
(5). Ignition and flameout report, each time of device ignition or flameout, device will upload the
report to the server.
(6). Wake up and sleep reports, every time wake up or flameout, device will upload the report to the
server. And send the wake up ways report to the server (level voltage jump, vibration, phone/SMS,
RTC time wake up, power wake up).
(7). Device has equipped RTC real-time clock, once device get the right time (GPS location or
network access) one time, the device will be initialized the internal real time clock, only the device
does not pull out, device time always accurate at any time.
(8). Device can save 14000 pieces data, ensure device will not lose data even a long time offline.
(9). Alarm function, device provide a dozen of alarms (speeding, fatigue, under charge, charging
circuit anomalies, engine anomalies, cooling fluid temperature is too high, coolant temperature is too
low, maintenance reminder, throttle cleaning reminds, vibration alarm, sharp turn, sharp accelerate,
snap deceleration, rapid change lanes, and hurry refueling, idling a long time).
(10). Support remote OTA, K wire, serial port upgrade.
(11). Support backup battery (Have without battery and with battery two models).
(12). Vehicle detection, device provide vehicle detect function, device will detect the car systems
automatically, and report the car status to server. Suggest use this function when idle.
(13). SMS support. Device supports SMS check position and SMS configuration, message
receive/send alert etc. Need to binding mobile phone number with device together.
(14). The device support LBS and AGPS.
(15). Driving behavior and fuel consumption analysis. Every time after flameout, device will upload a
route data package, for clients do fuel consumption and driving behavior analysis. The route data
package is mainly provide the following information: the ignition time, flameout time, the mileage
(accurate to m), the fuel consumption (accurate to ml), the highest speed, the highest engine speed,
the highest temperature, number of urgent acceleration, deceleration, turn, over-speed, rapid lane

changing, hurry refuel, over speed/high/medium/low speed/idle and speed/high/medium/low mileage,
and over speed/high/medium/low speed/idle speed fuel consumption.
(16). Device not only provide the total driving data query function, judging owner driving habits and
behavior but also can judge car's fuel consumption under different speed from those long term data,
help owners save fuel effectively.
(17). Product support most of the vehicles OBDII protocol, for the few cars does not support OBDII
protocol, device can judge ignition or flameout from the battery voltage and speed of GPS , calculate
single trip fuel consumption through setting background the vehicle average fuel consumption, make
the product really match 99% models.
