Maximum 8 numbers can be stored which all will be notified if a SOS situationoccurs. These phone numbers can be set via aSMS message sent to the TRACKER Line-In and Line-Out:(Only applicable for TRC0078)This TRACKER has 4 Line-inputs,ofwhich2can be used to detectswitch can be used forrelative values such as temperature or the Out-putlines remote equipment can be activated likeanAlarm or Geo-Fence feature:This TRACKER has a geo-fence activated,the instructed party will receive a SMSwhen theTracker unit exitsset boundary Car Battery connection:(TRC0078 only)This TRACKER has a built-in DC-DC converter to allow tobe connected to the 12-24V carbattery.
