Please Read
Recovery Mode will quickly drain the batteries so be sure to only use this mode when absolutely
necessary. By default Recovery mode will turn off after 6 hours. If your device has not been recovered in
that time frame be sure to activate Recovery Mode again and/or contact WestcoastGPS to ensure
Recovery Mode does not turn off.
Recovery Mode does not Activate until the device performs its next
upload so this will depend on the settings related to in trip uploads (most battery powered devices
are set to upload on trip start, every 30 minutes while in trip, and at trip end once movement has
stopped for 5 minutes) and heartbeats (schedule uploads that occur at least once per day whether the
device moves or not). Please do not abuse this mode as doing so could result in extra data charges or
suspension of your tracking subscription.
Remember to turn off Recovery Mode as soon as possible.
