Frequently asked questions
Dear Customer. This section contains very important information. Please do not skip it.
1. How long does it take to activate my device after processing a payment?
Your device will be active after the payment once you turn it o and turn it back on.
2. How does this technology work?
Your device reads data from satellites to nd its location; it then uses mobile networks to transmit its
location to our servers. Your device needs both: mobile network and GPS signals to work.
3. Do I need to purchase or provide a SIM card?
No, we ship the device with the SIM card it needs to transmit data. That SIM card only works with this
button.
device.
4. Do I need to install the SIM card?
No, the card is already installed. Please do not remove it.
5. I can´t see my device's location on the website.
If your device is powered ON, there are 2 reasons for this problem:
• Poor mobile network signal: Your device may be in a zone with poor mobile data coverage.
It will start transmitting again as soon as it gets into a better coverage zone. The device has an internal
memory to store locations in those cases. That information will be transmitted as soon as the device can
connect to the network again.
• Poor GPS signal: Your device may have lost GPS signal. That may happen when your GPS tracker is
covered by a thick surface or if your device is inside a building, underground or near tall buildings.
6. How long should I charge the device to fully charge the battery?
Eight hours of charge is enough. The device is fully charged after 8 hours or when the RED Power
LED is solid
7. My device reports a location that is slightly o from the actual location.
Accuracy depends on many factors beyond our control. For example: weather, clouds, tall buildings
or trees, bodies of water and device location.
