2Before you start
2.1 Precautions
We recommend that electrical installation is performed by qualified persons.
Electrical installation must be performed carefully after checking the input voltage. All electric wires must
be properly insulated
. All unused wires must also be properly insulated and if no future use is
foreseen
then
they can be cut shorter. Secure the lead and leftover wires so that they are not loose, but take care not to
damage the insulation.
Do not place the battery the wrong way round.

2.2 Inserting a SIM card
Before you start with hardware installation, you will need to insert a SIM card first.
If this has been done by
your supplier, please skip this chapter.
1)
Inserting the SIM card
a)make sure that the unit is disconneted from the elecrical supply
b)
make sure that the PIN number is either disabled or set to 0000. This is most easily done using a mobile
phone.
c)insert your SIM as per picture below
d) if your unit does not have a slot in the casing,
unscrew the four screws at the bottom of the Tracking
Unit and open it
e)
insert your SIM card as per picture
f)
assemble the Tracking unit – do not over tighten the screws as you could damage the plastic casing

3 Connecting the unit
There are two ways to connect the unit
3.1 Cigarette lighter adaptor
Make sure the vehicle is turned off.
Push the cigarette lighter plug in to your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket. If your vehicle has a 12V power
supply (usually found in the boot) use that instead. Please remember that cigarette lighter sockets usually switch
off when the ignition is off cutting the electrical supply to the tracking unit. It can take several minutes to start
receiving GPS signal when ignition is turned back on, so you may loose the start of your journey.
3.2 Connection
We recommend that electrical installation is performed by a qualified auto-electrical engineer.
Electrical installation must be performed carefully after checking the input voltage. All electric
wires must be properly insulated. All unused wires must also be properly insulated and if no
future use is foreseen then they can be cut shorter. Secure the lead and leftover wires so that
they are not loose, but take care not to damage the insulation.

4 Connecting the GPS antenna
There are two types of antenna supplied with the VTU008- a standard GPS antenna and a high sensitive
version.

4.1 Standard antenna
Connect the antenna to the tracking unit using the PS2 connector. The antenna must be positioned
horizontally and have clear view of the sky. The antenna should work perfectly on the dashboard under the
front windscreen (unless your vehicle has a heated fron windscreen). It can also be fitted on the roof. The
underside of the antenna is magnetised, which enables it to stick to the exterior of a vehicle even in the most
severe condition, and is completely waterproof.
4.2 Sensitiveantenna
This antenna can be concealed in the vehicle and is ideal for covert fitting. Before attaching the antenna to
the tracking unit you must fit the connector cable. The connector cable has a PS2 type plug on each end, but
each is encased in different hardened plastic. Please connect the grooved end to the antenna and the smooth
end to the tracking unit. In most cases the cable should have already come attached to the GPS antenna
from the manufacturer. Once connected the antenna must be position horizontally and is magnetic from the
underside. For optimum performance it is recommended you fit it away from metal cover, for example, in
the dashboard or in a plastic bumper.
