Device Manual
To set burst mode, in the Report Frequency you need to choose Burst. Then, in the Burst Settings
menu you can choose how often you wish to take a fix (Burst fix) and how often you wish to transmit
(Burst transmit).
!
Note: This mode will use power more quickly than other tracking modes, since GPS is kept on all of the time.
!
Although airtime costs are reduced using burst mode, depending on your settings you may use more
than 1 credit per transmission. 1 credit will pay for up to 3 positions inside a single fix. So, for
example, if you are taking a position every 5 minutes, and transmitting every 15 minutes (so 3 fixes
transmitted), this will cost 1 credit per transmission. If you take a position every 5 minutes, and
transmit every 30 minutes (so 6 fixes transmitted), this would cost 2 credits per transmission.

Activity Sense
!
Turning activity sense ON will mean that the tracker will switch between the normal ‘report
frequency’ when stationary, and transmitting using the ‘burst settings’ when moving.
!
NOTE - THIS CAN COST SIGNIFICANT NUMBERS OF CREDITS, ONLY TURN THIS ON IF YOU
KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
!
Activity sense can be particularly useful if you want to transmit whilst you are moving, and then
transmit at a much slower rate when you are not moving. For instance, tracking vehicles or aircraft.
!
There are sensitivity levels inside the Activity Sense menu which are useful to tweak when the device
thinks it is ‘moving’ - this will depend on your exact situation, but we have found that setting both
options to ’24’ is a good start, and works for most situations.

Alert Options
!
Timer Alert
!
This option allows you to set an alert message to be sent after a pre-defined interval. This is useful if
you would like to send an alert in the eventuality that you are not able to cancel the alert within a pre-
defined time. Timers can be chosen between 5-minutes to 12-hours.
!
Temperature Alert
!
Should the temperature leave your defined range (e.g. 0 degrees to 40 degrees) then an automatic
alert will be sent. This option allows you to turn this alert type on/off and set the temperature over
which the alert will be sent.
!
Power Loss Alert
!
If this option is turned on, should the unit lose external power then an automatic alert will be sent.
!
Geo-fence Alert
!
This alert type allows you to set your current position, then set a distance. Should the device leave
the pre-defined circular area, an automatic alert will be sent.
!
Collision Alert
!
This alert is somewhat experimental in nature, as a ‘collision’ can vary in force and strength, and so
every situation is different. This alert can be used to notify you of a given shock being applied to the
