BATTERY CHARGING / INSTALLATION

Before use, please fully charge the battery. On first use, the mains charger will take
approximately 8~12 hours. Subsequent re-charging will take 3~5 hours.

There are three methods of charging the trackers battery;

1.

Mains adaptor

2.

Car power socket

3.

USB port from a computer

Li-ion battery

When fully charged, the internal battery will last approximately 16
hours with GPS ‘on’ or approximately 72 hours in standby with GPS
‘off’.
Actual battery life is just like your cellphone – the more you use it, the
more battery is used.
Li-ion batteries can be part charged as they do not retain memory.

Mains adaptor charger

The charger indicates:
Red light is On - indicates that it is in charging.
Green light is On - indicates that charging is completed.

USB charger & car charger/power supply

The USB cable supplied can be connected to a computer for charging – please note that
charging time takes longer due to a computers lower power supply output.

The car charger plugs into a vehicles cigar lighter socket.
When the vehicle is running (cigar light socket live), the tracker runs off the vehicles power
supply and charges the trackers battery.
When the vehicle is not running (cigar lighter socket in most vehicles is inactive when the
ignition is off), the tracker is powered by its own internal battery.

SIM CARD – NOT SUPPLIED

This GPS tracker requires a SIM card.
We suggest you do not use a SIM card that was previously used in a mobile phone for if
others call the known number, it may interfere with this tracker.

SMS TEXT COMMANDS

The tracker is controlled by GSM text messages or voice calls from your mobile phone. It is
advisable to save commonly used text commands together with the trackers password in
your mobile phones ‘templates’ folder for regular use.

Do not hide your mobile phones identity as the tracker needs to identify authorised users.
