TWIG LOCATOR FEATURES
Stand-by mode
When TWIG Locator is turned on, it enters
into stand-by mode. In the stand-by mode,
the device is not activated by any process but
it is ready to receive and answer location
requests. Stand-by mode is deactivated when
some other mode is activated.
Positioning
You can ask your Locator’s position by sending
it a ?LOC message. If you are using a TWIG-
handset, you can send the message by using
your phone’s special application and choosing
Request position . Or you can send Locator an
SMS message containing the command
?LOC_0.
As a response, you will receive a message
including information on your Locator’s posi-
tion in coordinates, as well as speed, heading,
battery level and time stamp of the position.
Tracking
Tracking mode means that Locator is activated
to continuously send updated location infor-
mation. In the tracking mode, you can easily
monitor movements of e.g. your car.
Tracking mode can be activated simulta-
neously with anchor and alarm modes.
Sending tracking and area tracking requests
If you are using Benefon ESC or TWIG Disco-
very Pro with the required special application
activated, you can activate both tracking and
area tracking features as follows:
Send a tracking request to Locator by choo-
sing the option
Request tracking . Area tracking
is activated by selecting
Request area tracking .
You can then select
On exit if you wish Locator
to alert you when the device is leaving your
defined area. Or you can select
While out if you
wish Locator to send you position messages
while staying outside of the defined area. You
can also set radius for the tracked area as well
as interval for tracking updates.
