Welcome
We hope that you enjoy your new ST300, and that you find it
both practical and easy to use. ST300 uses GPS (Global
Positioning System) to track its location and GSM cellular
service to send telemetry to the web-based tracking server.
Your report frequency will depend upon the service option you
have chosen. Your personal web account may be accessed at
www.worldtrackingsolutions.com and holds your tracking maps,
reports, and other information for 120 days.
Getting Started
Your ST300 was shipped ready to use. Simply power on the
unit using the button on the bottom of the right side. If you are
in an area with good visibility to the sky, the GPS LED should
begin to blink quickly within 2 minutes. The other LEDs may
blink according to the chart below:

We recommend you make a test run by placing the device
directly on the dash of your vehicle. This insures that the unit
has excellent visibility to the GPS tracking satellites during the
initial synchronization process. Take a test drive, making sure
you are moving for enough time to gather several reports.

Once you have made your test run, you are ready to view your
reports online. Go to www.worldtrackingsolutions.com using an
Internet Explorer web browser. Click on the “Login” button,
and then check to be sure that all pop up blockers have been
disabled for the tracking site. The maps and data tables are
generated using pop-up windows and will not display if you
have not disabled all pop-up blockers.
Once you have disabled the pop-up blockers, use the Account,
Username and Password included to sign onto your account. To
see your tracks, select “Vehicle Map” under the Mapping tab. If
you have only one vehicle, the current day’s tracking will be
displayed immediately. If you have multiple vehicles, you may
need to select the appropriate vehicle from the list.
Initial Installation
GPS Signal Reception
GPS satellite signals are transmitted to varying degrees through
glass, fiberglass, plastics, and many other fabrics and
materials. ST300 cannot “see” through metal. ST300 generally
works well when placed in a glove compartment, under the
dash, or passenger seat of a vehicle but it will not be able to
obtain a new location fix if placed in the trunk or under the
hood.
GSM Cellular Service Reporting
ST300 uses the GSM cell phone network to send its reports to
the tracking system, so its ability to connect to the internet is
limited by the coverage of this network. Coverage in populated
areas is generally very good, but can be limited in remote
regions.
