Troubleshooting Guide for VL101G Vehicle Tracker
Issue 1: Unable to Connect to Tracking Platform
Possible Causes & Solutions:
- Check the APN and IP settings: Ensure that the APN (Access Point Name) and IP settings are correctly configured for your region or service provider.
- SIM Card Data Service: Verify that the data service of the SIM card is activated and functional.
- SIM Card Balance: Check whether the SIM card has sufficient balance or data for transmission.
- External Power Connection: Ensure that the tracker is still connected to an external power source.
- Network Blind Area: The vehicle may have entered an area with poor or no network coverage. Try moving to a location with better signal.
Issue 2: Tracker Shows Offline
Possible Causes & Solutions:
- Network Blind Area: Confirm if the vehicle is in a location with no network coverage. Move to an area with a stronger signal.
- SIM Card Balance: Ensure that the SIM card has sufficient balance to maintain a connection.
- External Power: Check if the tracker is still receiving power from its external source.
Issue 3: Unable to Locate Vehicle
Possible Causes & Solutions:
- Metallic Obstructions: Ensure that the tracker is facing upwards and is not covered by metallic objects, as these can interfere with GNSS signals.
- Poor Satellite Coverage: Make sure the tracker is in an area with good satellite visibility (i.e., not indoors or under heavy obstructions).
- Weak GNSS Signal: In areas with limited GNSS signal (such as in tall buildings or basements), location tracking may be affected.
Issue 4: Location Drift
Possible Causes & Solutions:
- Poor GNSS Signal: In environments with weak GNSS signals (e.g., tall buildings, underground, or heavy tree cover), location drift can occur.
- Vibration Triggering: Check for vibrations around the tracker that may be triggering the accelerometer, leading to drift.
- Improper Installation: Ensure that the tracker is securely installed in the vehicle. A loose or sliding device may cause positioning errors and drift.
Issue 5: No Command Reply
Possible Causes & Solutions:
- Incorrect Command Format: Ensure that the format of the command sent to the tracker is correct. Refer to the device manual for the correct syntax.
- Network Blind Area: The vehicle may be located in an area with poor or no network coverage. Try moving to an area with better reception.
- SIM Card Issues: Ensure that the SIM card is properly inserted and has SMS service enabled. Check if the SIM card is functioning correctly and has sufficient balance.
If the issues persist after following the troubleshooting steps, please contact customer support for further assistance.
