USING VECTU
In order to preserve battery life, Vectu uses motion activated tracking intervals. It reports location
every 60 seconds* upon movement of the device. When Vectu is stationary for more than 2
minutes, the device will go to sleep until it is moved again. Additionally location is reported upon
help/check-in alert.
TURN VECTU ON/OFF
To turn the device ON, slide the switch to the ON, the status light blinks red as Vectu goes through network
registration process. The status light turns off when the device enters standby mode and is ready to use.
To turn the device OFF, slide the switch to the position OFF (when device is turned OFF it cannot send or receive
communications).
Every time you turn Vectu ON, the status light will blink red until it connects to the network. In the complete
absence of a signal, the status light will blink red continuously.
SENDING HELP ALERT OR CHECK-IN
To check-in or to ask for help from friends and family in critical situation press and hold the help button for two
seconds – status light will turn blue. Once the message is successfully delivered to the server status light will blink
blue five times (if the status light doesn't blink blue after 60 seconds, press and hold the help button again).
Device owner and designated email addresses/phone numbers (if any) will receive a notification with a link to view
the location using Google Maps.
