1. INTRODUCTION

The Sting is an ultra-compact, rechargeable GPS tracking device. The light, temperature and
humidity sensors set it apart from other battery powered trackers. It has been designed to track
high value parcels, cargo, cash in transit, personnel, and other assets where super-long battery
life is required without sacrificing the frequency of updates and performance. Please see the
datasheet and brochure for more information.
This document will help you get started with the Sting.

  • Page 4 Since the Sting is a battery powered device, reception is critical to its performance. While other members of the DM product family rely on their high-quality GPS receivers for enhanced accuracy and the ability to operate in very low signal, the primary concern for the Sting is the battery used during each GPS fix.
