Set GEO-Fence
There are 2 kinds of Geo-fence. Circle Geo Fence and Rectangle Geo Fence.
The command of Circle Geo Fence is E
The command of Rectangle Geo Fence is I
The alarm mode of these two are the same: #ALM-Bx-y,maps.google.com#
x=1 is Circle Geo-fence go in alarm
x=2 is Circle Geo-fence go out alarm
x=3 is Rectangle Geo-fence go in alarm
x=4 is Rectangle Geo-fence go out alarm
y is the number of Geo-fence. (You can set 5 fence for each fence)
Circle Fence: :123456Ex,y,zaa.aaaaaaaN/S,bbb.bbbbbbE/W,k
x is fence number;
y is switch, y=1 on, y=0 off
z is alarm mode, 1 go in alarm, 2 go out alarm, 3 go out and in alarm
aa.aaaaaaaN(S), bb.bbbbbbbE(W) is the coordinate of the circle center
k is the radius and its unit is meter, maximum value is more than 4billion

Rectangle Fence:
:123456Ix,y,z,aa.aaaaaaaN/S,bbb.bbbbbbbE/
W,cc.cccccccN/S,ddd.dddddddE/W
x is fence number;
y is switch, y=1 on, y=0 off
z is alarm mode, 1 go in alarm, 2 go out alarm, 3 go out and in alarm
aa.aaaaaaaN/S,bbb.bbbbbbbE/W,cc.cccccccN/S,ddd.dddddddE/W is the two coordinate of the rectangle (the two coordinates of opposite angles)

Body-worn accessories that do not meet these requirements may not comply with RF exposure requirements and should be avoided. Use only the supplied or an approved antenna.
