2. 02

   Not yet confirmed from the maker's manual for a host name here. The manual shows a numeric server address only, and a unit may refuse a name. Send check123456 afterwards. If it does not show our address, contact us and we will give you the numeric one for your region.

   Send them one at a time and copy each one exactly as shown. The status reply goes to an authorised number: calling the tracker ten times from your phone makes it one.

4. 04

   Switch on the GPRS link

   gprs123456

   The tracker's reply: GPRS ok!

   The maker's manual says a new unit starts in SMS mode, so this message is needed.
