BT200 GPS TRACKER
Thank you for choosing Mongoose as your GPS tracking provider.The BT200 is a battery operated GPS tracker for both safety and security.Apart from tracking GPS satellites, it also contains LBS (land based system) for search and rescue assistance and gives approximate location based on mobile phone cell sites. This can be used if, for some reason, there is no satellite GPS reception. LBS will show which cell tower area the tracker is within – not an actual accurate location.It contains a rechargeable battery with a standby life of up to 14 days. The mobile APP displays the current battery condition.The tracker also contains a mounting bracket suitable for attaching a bicycles saddle stem or other tubular frame.
The bracket allows for quick detachment should you wish to use the tracker off the bicycle.
The tracker allowsfree access to a 3rd party mobile APP and onlinePC website.The APP is a powerful tool and is used for tracker location, historical travel as well as issuing commands that control how the tracker operates.Location data is stored on the website for a continuing 6 month period. More detailed travel history and reporting functions can be found on the website.
How GPS tracking works
The tracker uses fixed orbit GPS satellites to find its location on the earth. The tracker therefore needs to beagle to ‘see’ the sky in order the receive satellite information. It cannot receive satellite information when inside buildings or in locations where the view of the sky is interrupted.
The tracker requires its own mobile 2G GSM SIM card so it can send GPS location data to the website and the mobile APP. It also allows for text communications.
Locations are automatically uploaded to the website using inexpensive mobile data.
The mobile APP is used to display the information stored on the website.The APP and the website are also used to control and change tracker settings.The tracker, APP and website work seamlessly together with virtually no delay in operation.
The trackers SIMcard must have the ability and credit for VOICE, TEXT and DATA.
Vodafone is the only 2G PROVIDER, NO OTHER CARDS WILL WORK.
Due to the nature of this product, a PrePay SIM card is usually sufficient, but ensure ‘auto top-up’ is selected when registering the SIM phone number with the service provider.

SOS NUMBERS

CONTROLLING THE TRACKER
The tracker can be controlled via the mobile APP or by text messages from your phone.
APP: Use ‘issue command’ in the mobile APP.The APP gives you the choice of controlling by data (GPRS) or by SMS (text).The following are explanations of commands that can be sent by text or by the APP.
TIME-ZONE
GPS tracking time is based on GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). To get accurate reporting times, a text command to the tracker must be sent to set the correct time zone.
timezone123456 12 –when no daylight savingtimezone123456 13 –with daylight saving
FREQUENCY OF LOCATION REPORTING Range:- 10~300 secondsTo maximize the battery life, thetracker only reports when moving. It should be set to report its location at reasonable time intervalsto give an accurate map plot of travel. 20 to 30 seconds is typical.When stationary for more than 10 minutes, it enters sleep mode – turns off GPS reception and stops reportinglocations to preserve battery life.Mobile receptionand alert functions are still on.
Send this text message upload123456 20 (upload every 20 seconds when moving)
GPRS
This stands for ‘Global Packet Radio System’. Commonly called ‘data’.It is the method of sending computer data over the mobile phone network.It should not be confused with the letters GPS.
RED LED LIGHT –how to control
The bright red rear light can be controlled from within the APP or by these text messages;
- led123456 on The light will flash until it is turned off
- led123456 off Turns the flashing light off
- led123456 shock The LED light will start to flash when the tracker receives a shock or vibration. It automatically turns off if no shock or vibration is detected for 5 seconds.
The LED light will naturally shorten battery life, so check the APP for battery condition and recharge as necessary.
GEO-FENCE ANTI-THEFT ALERT
A geo-fence is an invisible boundary around a fixed location.This boundary can have a minimum radius of 100m to a maximum of 5000m. Geo-fences can be added and deleted.If the tracker moves out of or into a geo-fenced area, it will send a text alert to the authorised numbers confirming it is either ‘IN” or ‘OUT’ of the geo-fenced area.You can set multiple geo-fence areas.
NOTE: In normal use this can become an unnecessary text, together with associated text cost, and will shorten battery life. Only use the feature when required.To stop it sending texts, either delete the geo-fence or turn off in ‘alarm settings’ on the mobile APP.
SHOCK ANTI-THEFT ALERT
When the tracker has beenstationaryfor 5 minutesand it then receives a heavy shock, it will send atext alert.
You canactivate shock alert by APP command or text message: shock123456
You can cancel shock alert by APP command or text message: noshock123456
MOVE ANTI-THEFT ALERT
Once the tracker has remained stationary for more than 5minutes, you can set a move alert.move123456 reply: move ok
If the tracker moves more than 500m (factory setting), it will send a text alert to the paired mobile phones.
To cancel this mode, sendnomove123456 reply: nomove ok
SPEED ALERT
You can set a speed limit for the tracker and receive a text alert if this speed is exceeded every 5 minutes.
speed123456 60 reply: speed ok
To cancel this alert, send nospeed123456 reply: nospeed ok
Do not set speeds lower than 50km/has GPS willbe inaccurate at low speeds.
LOW BATTERY ALERT
When battery voltage is too low, it will send a text alertBattery condition is shown on the mobile APP.Alert can be programmed on or off. See chart at rear of this manual.
MONITOR MODE – Covert Listening
This mode allows you dial in and listen to what is happening around your tracker.In monitor mode,Send this text: monitor123456Now make a phone call to the trackers SIM number, allow it to ring and it will answer.

TRACKER MODE
Send this text: tracker123456Switches the tracker from monitor mode to tracking mode
LBS
LBS stands for ‘Land based System’. It is a basic location method based on the closest mobile cell tower. It is mainly used for search and rescue when a GPS satellite fix cannot be obtained. It will not provide an accurate location, just which search area it is within.When using the APP or website to see current or historical locations, uncheck ‘LBS’ to prevent spurious locations from appearing – usually signified by straight lines.
