M2 

 DEVICE

MARINE ACTIVATION & INSTALLATION 

Devices are shipped in “sleep” mode to not consume any internal battery before activated. 
Once activated, the device will utilize internal battery until it is connected to the asset battery. 
The asset battery allows for the most continuous connectivity and most up-to-date tracking. 
However, when the asset battery is disconnected – for instance during winterization or off-
season storage – the device will continue operate off its internal battery ensuring no lapse in 
service or tracking. 

Version 1.2 03/2022

When determining where to install the Radian M2 device on a boat consider the following recommendations: 
1.  Mount the M2 device on the deck or side of the hull in either the midship (best), bow (good), or transom (good). 

These areas ensure optimal G Force readings and will collect the most accurate data collection.

2. Ensure proximity to the boat battery (Installation kit includes a 8 ft cord and optional 10 ft extender)
3. Do not mount the M2 device directly underneath any metal—leave at least 24” between the top of the device and 

any metal above it. Mounting the bottom of the device against metal is not an issue.

4. Ensure the M2 device is out-of-the-way and hidden. Avoid mounting the device in any area where the device 

could be stepped on, bumped, or hit.
