FAQ

Why is my port not showing up when I click “Scan Ports”?
You likely haven’t installed the USB driver yet (see Step 1).
Make sure you are using the original USB configuration cable that came with the device. Many standard phone charger cables only transfer power, not data.
Ensure the tracker is powered on and the battery is charged.
Why does connection fail or time out? 
If the tool detects the port but cannot communicate, try turning the tracker off and on again, then click Connect again. The tool will automatically wake up the device.
Why do I get the alert “USB Device not recognized”?
If get the alert when you connect the USB cable to the PC, please check if you use the MT700 Config cable (this is the customized cable not standard)

The MT700 ONLY works with the Config cable.
The device can not get the network and always show the error “CSQ 99“？
To access the network the SIM Card APN is very important if apn is wrong not apn is not setup, the tracker will not access the network, so please make sure apn is correct and then setup apn via sscom tool.
If APN is correct please confirm your sim card support CAT M1, NB-IoT, or both. and then lock to CAT M1 or NB-IoT, and then reboot the tracker. If still fail, please contact us
The device show sim card error how to fix it?
If so maybe the sim card installs wrong, please remove the sim card and insert the sim card again (notice the sim card direction and make the chip face up

1. SMS command: *RCONF#1##
