GPS vehicle locators are very useful, especially for the auto finance risk control industry. I believe many people know it. However, some people still ask: Is the locator installed in the car and can be used immediately?

　　If you do that, you'll find that it doesn't work. In fact, the most important step after the car is equipped with a GPS tracker is to activate it. For many newbies, do not know how to activate the use of car GPS tracker. The following editor will talk about how the universal GPS locator is activated:

　　First of all, we all know that GPS positioning terminals are mainly divided into wired GPS locators, wireless GPS locators and OBD interface locators. The installation of the GPS locator is relatively simple. Just find a place to hide the device in the car, but pay attention to the side with the antenna facing up.

　　Wired and wireless locators are installed slightly differently. The wired tracker needs to be connected to the vehicle power supply, so that it can work 24 hours a day without power failure. The wireless locator is generally fully charged at one time, and the standby and use days can be determined according to the battery size of the locator.

　　After the device is installed, the next step is to install the "card" for the device. The function of the card is to provide network transmission for the device, so that the device can transmit information to the management background.

　　Whether it is a wired locator or a wireless locator, the steps for installing a SIM card are generally as follows:

　　① Open the back cover of the locator or the slot plug of the SIM card of the locator; ② Install the card correctly according to the card picture on the locator; ③ Close the back cover or the plug of the card slot.

　　After installing the SIM card, the locator is powered on, and the locator is wired to find the positive and negative poles of the car power supply. The negative pole is easy to find. Where the body is grounded is the negative pole. The positive is in the fuse box, near the car key switch or directly connected to the battery. Of course, if you don't know it, you can also ask professional technicians to install it.

　　However, it is best to connect the normal power supply, that is, the power cord directly drawn from the car battery, which is not affected by the car key switch; the lighted side of the locator should face the sky, and the side facing the sky should not be close to the metal object to block the built-in GPS antenna. It also has to receive signals from 20,000 kilometers away.

　　To sum up, the activation method of GPS locator is divided into three steps: 1. Install the SIM card; 2. Turn on the power of the locator and turn on the switch; 3. Take the vehicle or the locator out of the room for a while, and the locator can be activated.
