Press the on/off button for 2-5 seconds until the LED lights operate, then unit will be turned on.

Receiving GPS signal
Initial GPS sync will work best outside of buildings. If impossible, once the unit has
fully sync’d (blue light is blinking periodically) grab the TL201 and wave in a figure
eight motion for 5-10 seconds. This is a similar command as seen with many smart
phones with GPS location services. The figure eight wave will ensure a correct GPS
antenna sync. This is very important and is suggested for each start up, only after all 3
lights have begun blinking periodically, when start up is inside a building.

Get the position by calling the tracker
You can use a cell phone to call the SIM number (provided by TracUSA with delivery
instructions) associated with the tracker for 3 seconds, then hang up the call before the tracker
hangs up or answers. The tracker will reply a position SMS (text message) with latitude and
longitude in it as a Google Earth link. The text message will be highlighted in green or blue,
double click and your smart phones Google map will open to the trackers position. The tracker
will not send a SMS (text message) location if you do not hang up the call before the tracker
hangs up or answers your call. The TL201, in many ways is just like a mini cell phone.
TracUSA, or its authorized reseller, will program the phone numbers authorized to request
location reports from the tracker. This will be the information you have provided TracUSA at
purchase. Once TracUSA has set the authorized numbers, the tracker will reply position SMS
to the authorized cell phone numbers only. Suggested numbers include Mothers, Fathers and
concerned/loved ones cellular phone numbers. These numbers must be chosen carefully, they
are the numbers that will get the emergency SOS alert.
