1. PURPOSE
FindMe F2 GPS/GLONASS Tracking Beacon (hereinafter FindMe) is
designed to transmit to a user its position coordinates with specified freq-
uency using SMS messages and/or GPRS.
FindMe is used to handle the following problems:
To determine position of vehicles (motor cars, motorcycles, boats,
snowmobiles, etc.);
To convoy valuable cargo;
To track position of movable targets (trash containers, doghouses, etc.);
To determine position of domestic animals;
Alarm button.

2. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Depending on SIM-card in use, FindMe operates according to one of
two operating procedures.
Using pre-installed SIM-card, FindMe operates in one of two modes:
standard or tracking The device stays in a sleeping mode most of the
time. According to the time specified in the settings, the beacon “wakes
up”, determine its position, transmits data to 911.fm server, requests
information regarding further operation mode from the server, and again
goes to sleep. Frequency of contacts in the tracking and standard modes,
as well as the tracking mode enabling / disabling is set up in personal area
at www.911.fm. The tracking mode can be enabled / disabled also with
SMS-commands. FindMe has no functionality to receive user commands
and to transmit information to the server «by request». The device and
the server communicate only according to the schedule. When using pre-
installed SIM-card, FindMe operates only with 911.fm service.
After replacement of pre-installed SIM-card, FindMe operates with
any service selected by the user except 911.fm service. Frequency of
contacts is set up by SMS commands to be sent to the number of SIM-
card installed in the device. The message shall include a password (4
digits and separating comma) and the required command. In accordance
with the command parameters, time interval is set to awake the device
and check for SMS messages received from the user. FindMe determines
its position according to satellites of GPS/GLONASS navigation systems
and can send this data in the form of SMS message to mobile phone
7
number programmed by the user or using GPRS information package to
the monitoring server selected. Besides position data, the message can
contain IDs of GSM base stations which are the nearest stations to the
device position.
NOTE
FindMe with pre-installed SIM-card can be controlled using free FindMe
iRZ Online application for smartphones with Android Operating System.
This application is available for downloading in Google Play app store at

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
Installation of FindMe is one of the most important points. The trac-
king beacon installed in easy-to-access place will be easy and quickly
found and deactivated!
Install the device with front panel faced up, away from moving ele-
ments, heat-generating parts and items. Also, do not install the device
with its front panel faced to metal parts of the body.
Please, note that rate of position fix, communication quality, and bat-
tery operation time are influenced by many factors such as:
FindMe installation location;
room where FindMe is placed;
distance from GSM base stations;
ambient temperature;
weather conditions;
natural or artificial electromagnetic interferences, etc.
FindMe uses Li-SOCl2batteries to be installed and put into operation
within 5 months from the date of their manufacture. When you use batteries
manufactured 5 or more months ago, number of communication sessions
and coordinates transmitted to the server will significantly reduce.
10
NEVER:
NEVER:
use old and new batteries at the same time;
use only one battery;
use batteries with characteristics other than supplied in FindMe package.
Warning! Device operation in the tracking mode reduces
significantly operational life of the in-built batteries!
NOTE
When sending SMS commands, please, note, that storage time of undeli-
vered SMS messages at mobile operators is usually 24 hours. If activation
interval of your device is more than 24 hours, you should repeat the
command message provided that you have not any respond from the
device within 24 hours.
