2.2 Connecting to the Tracking Server
To use our Free Online Tracking Portal (
http://trackbro.nortek.co.uk
) you will need to send the tracker, the following
text command
8040000<space>89.242.7.83<space>5013
2.3 Choosing SMS or GPRS Operation Mode
The Tracker has two modes of operation. SMS Only and GPRS (Data). To use the Online Tracking Portal or Mobile
Phone App, you will need to use the GPRS function, however this will require data from your network. If you purely
wish to use the Tracker as an Anti-Theft device for use if an item / vehicle is stolen or for random location tracking by
call and text message, then SMS only mode should be used. You can toggle between SMS or GPRS Modes as
required. Please note than SMS use will still be maintained even when GPRS is selected.
To select SMS Only Mode, text:
7000000
To select GPRS Mode, text:
7100000
2.4 Set Control Numbers
The “Track Bro” can be programmed with up to 3 different Mobile Phone numbers and these are referred to as
“control numbers”. Each number is given a priority, of “1”, “2” and “3” and the number of the main owner /
operator should always be given a priority of “1”
So to program the control numbers use the following format
<phone number><password><space><priority number>
So to program a mobile phone number of “0778451207” using the default user password of “0000” and give it a
priority of “1” you would text:
07784512070000<space>1
To program second number of “0776542789” with a priority of “2”, you would text:
07765427890000<space>2
You can update / overwrite any of the three programmed numbers at any time, simply by re-entering a new number
& settings its priority number.
Note:- These control numbers are simply used in order to convey an “Alarm” text or call in the event of a trigger.
The ability to use any mobile phone in order to program the device, or Track it by SMS or APP is retained. So for
example, if a Vehicle or Bike was stolen, a Police Officer or any nominated third party could still track its position
by SMS or APP, without having their phone number pre-programmed into the Tracker as a control number.
