  • Page 2 & F ETTING TARTED IRST Charging Your GPS SmartSole® 1. Connect the USB cable into the USB wall adapter and into the USB port on the black charging pad. When properly plugged in to a power source, the charging pad’s LED status indicator light will display GREEN to indicate it is ready to charge. 2. Set the right GPS SmartSole® flat on the charging pad. Align the target symbol on the green (under) side of your GPS SmartSole® with the center of the charging pad. 3. Adjust your SmartSole until the charging pad LED light is SOLID BLUE. When charging has begun, the status indicator will stay SOLID BLUE for 30-seconds and then turn off. The charging pad will continue to charge the SmartSole while the LED is off. If the charging is interrupted at any point due to a change in alignment or due to foreign objects placed near the charger, the LED will turn back to GREEN. Light Status Indication Solid Blue, then turns off Currently Charging Solid Green Ready to Begin Charging / Not Charging Charging Tips 1. If the status indicator flashes or shows GREEN, there is a problem with alignment. Realign the SmartSole until the LED is SOLID BLUE again. After about 30 seconds, the light will turn off. It will remain off during the rest of charging. 2. GPS SmartSole® needs 4 hours to fully charge. While there is no indication that charging is complete, you may continue to leave the SmartSole on the charging pad if desired, up to 12 hours. Do not charge GPS SmartSole® for more than 12 hours. Battery Life A full battery charge will power your GPS SmartSole® for 1-2 days, depending on usage. Therefore, we recommend charging your GPS SmartSole® daily. Long drives or short reporting intervals will consume battery more quickly. Note: Rechargeable...
  • Page 3 Waking Up Your GPS SmartSole® Daily For best results, we recommend waking up your GPS SmartSole® when first receiving it, after charging, or after several days of inactivity. When your GPS SmartSole® has been asleep or unused for a prolonged period of time, e.g. after charging overnight, it needs extra time to update a new location. Wake Up Procedure 1. Gently move the right SmartSole (about 5 seconds). 2. Place it next to an outside-facing window (about 5 minutes). Repeat Steps 1 and 2 until the Monitoring Portal displays a new location. Retrieving the first GPS location may take a few seconds or up to 5 minutes. An obstructed view of the sky increases this time. Note: Gentle, continuous movement is sufficient to wake up your SmartSole. Do not apply excessive force or impact during the Wake Up Procedure. Before First Use – Testing for Satisfactory Coverage GPS SmartSole® uses cellular service to send it’s GPS data. While most smartphones use 4G/LTE networks, GPS SmartSole® uses a smaller 2G module. The 2G module saves power & is small enough to fit in the insole, making this solution possible. Because cellular signals may be affected by building structures, location and geography, and because 2G cellular coverage is not available everywhere, GPS SmartSole® may not work in ® your area. You must test your GPS SmartSole for satisfactory cellular connectivity, before trimming or wearing As stated in the Terms and Conditions of Sale, once worn or trimmed, GPS SmartSole® is no longer eligible for return or refund. Coverage Test Procedure You may test your GPS SmartSole® either carried by hand, in a purse or bag, or in a car. Do not wear or trim your GPS SmartSole® for the connectivity test, as GPS SmartSole® is no longer eligible for return or refund once worn or trimmed. Charge the right GPS SmartSole® and verify that it reports on the Portal. Over the course of the next few days, carry the right sole through the primary areas where the wearer may travel. •...
  • Page 4 Technical Support will analyze device performance, run diagnostics, and advise on next steps, which may include returning or replacing the device. Trimming Your GPS SmartSole® Do not trim or wear your GPS SmartSole® until you have tested it for satisfactory coverage in your area. To try out fit and comfort, you may trim the LEFT-SIDE insole. Once you trim or wear the RIGHT-SIDE INSOLE, which contains the GPS electronics, your GPS SmartSole® is no longer eligible for a return or refund. If your footwear has removable insoles, take them out and place them on top of your SmartSole, aligning the heels. Lightly trace around the toes of the original insoles. If your footwear does not have removable insoles, place your footwear on top of your SmartSole and align the heels. Lightly trace around the toes of your footwear. Carefully trim along the outside of the traced line. Trim a small amount, test and repeat to find the right fit. DO NOT OVER TRIM, and make sure your SmartSole covers the full length of the shoe front to back and there is NO GAP or wiggle room in the toe or heel. The SmartSole must fit flush and snug inside the shoe. Do not trim the sides or anywhere below the line. You risk damaging your SmartSole and you will void its warranty.
  • Page 5 GPS S YSTEM NFORMATION GPS Signal Requirement GPS SmartSole®, like all GPS trackers, requires sufficient GPS signal for proper operation. Accurate GPS signal is only available outdoors with a clear view of the sky. When indoors, GPS devices cannot properly communicate with satellites to obtain location data. Depending on the material of the indoor structure or placement of the insole while indoors, GPS SmartSole® may report inaccurate locations or no locations at all. In some extreme circumstances, such as buildings with large glass panels, GPS signal may become so distorted that large errors in accuracy may be reported. If your GPS SmartSole® is reporting inaccurate locations or no locations while indoors, it may be experiencing inaccurate GPS signal. GPS SmartSole® will regain accurate positioning once it is outdoors again. GPS First Fix The first location report that a GPS tracker obtains is referred to as the "first fix" and can take an extended period of time to obtain while the tracker searches for the positions of the GPS satellites. When outdoors, under clear view the sky, awake, GPS SmartSole® can take approximately 1 minute to obtain its first fix if not moving. The first fix takes longer when the GPS SmartSole® is moving (e.g. in a vehicle), sometimes up to 20 minutes. After the first fix has been obtained, GPS SmartSole® will be able to report subsequent locations within 1 or 2 seconds. When not awake, charged or reporting for more than 12 hours, GPS SmartSole® will need to obtain a new first fix. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to verify a first fix each day before your GPS SmartSole® is worn or used. Obtaining a first fix is covered under the "Wake Up Procedure". Reporting Settings GPS SmartSole® reports under a set of three settings, which can be based on time intervals or distance. Every 10-minutes. Every 5-minutes when moving; every hour stationary. Every 200-meters while moving; every hour stationary. Contact GPS SmartSole® Technical Support to change the reporting setting for your GPS SmartSole®. When working with Technical Support, please make sure your GPS SmartSole® is...
  • Page 6 & ATTERY IFESPAN ARE TORAGE Like all Lithium batteries, your GPS tracker's Lithium battery has a limited number of cycles and requires proper care, handling and storage. Please note that Lithium batteries should not be stored completely drained or completely full - both storage methods reduce the battery's lifespan. For long term storage, it is strongly recommended to turn off the GPS SmartSole®, Take- Along Tracker and any other product using Lithium-polymer batteries at around 80% charge. In addition, we recommend fully depleting and then recharging your GPS product at least once every month, which helps to maintain and monitor battery performance. We test all product before shipping (usually on the same day), and we recommend distributors and resellers to test again upon receiving, before putting the product into storage mode, then test once more before shipping to their final destination. If a battery has been unused or not charged for more than 6 months, it is very possible that the battery will not be able to be recharged and will need to be replaced, if applicable. Although it's best to fully charge a battery before use, prior to storage of lithium-ion batteries it's harmful to fully discharge them. The best battery manufacturers store lithium batteries at around 60 degrees and at a 40% charge level. Lithium-Ion batteries continue to slowly discharge (self-discharge) when not in use or while in storage. Routinely check the battery’s charge status. If you do not follow the instructions, and the battery has no charge remaining when you check it, consider it to be damaged. Rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries have a limited life and will gradually lose their capacity to hold a charge. This loss of capacity (aging) is irreversible. As the battery loses capacity, the length of time it will power the product (run time) decreases. With proper storage and use, the typical estimated life of a Lithium-Ion battery is about two to three years or 300 to 500 charge cycles, whichever occurs first. If you need further assistance powering down your GTX Corp lithium battery operated product, please contact our technical support team at +1 (213) 489-3019 x 2 or email support@gtxcorp.com...
