Spytec GL300 Tracker - User Manual

Troubleshooting

Q

:

GPS platform says the device is in New Jersey (or was last read 1000 days

ago). This isn’t accurate. 

A

:

Make sure the green light is blinking once every 3 seconds and take it out for

a drive that lasts at least 10 minutes.

Q

:

GPS platform shows a blue screen or the coast of Africa. 

A

:

This means the device has not yet locked onto a GPS signal. Take it outside for

a 10-minute walk or drive, and its location should update.

Q

:

What should I do if my device says “last updated X days ago,” even if it’s been

in use?

A

:

Verify that the green light is blinking every 3 seconds and the device is

properly positioned. If the problem persists, email 

support@spytec.com

Q

:

My device has been turned on for some time, but it is not updating. Why?

A

:

If the green LED is blinking once every 3 seconds, take it out for a 10-15 minute

drive. If the unit is still not updating on the platform, contact Tech Support.
