Bolt – Getting Started Guide
INTRODUCTION
The Bolt is a new compact, plug and play, OBDII tracking device. It is available in 2G and 4G Cat-M1/Bn-
IoT versions.
The Bolt is very simple to install, drawing its power from a vehicle's OBDII port. While it draws its power
from the ODBII port the Bolt does not read OBDII diagnostic data. The bolt is designed to provide
extremely cost-effective tracking and includes the latest GPS and cellular technology to give excellent
performance at an entry level price.
See the product page
https://westcoastgps.com//Bolt-Datasheet-WCGPS.pdf
for more specifications.
You will receive a compact box containing the Bolt, typically the SIM card will already be installed, and
the housing will already be closed. Simply plug the Bolt into your vehicle's OBDII port and you are ready
to go. Should you be required to install the SIM card or swap in a replacement card see the instructions
on the next page.
