Locate the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number on the sticker affixed to your tracker. The number is 15 characters long. You will need to enter it to set up your account.
Find the On Board Diagnostics (OBD) port on your vehicle. It is typically located under the dashboard on the driver's side. All vehicles made since 1996 are equipped with this socket. Though the tracker contains two rows of eight pins each, the frame is narrower on the top than the bottom. Take care to line up the wider end with the wider end of the OBD socket. Depending on the vehicle, you may have to plug the tracker in upside down. If so, keep in mind that the LED array will be displayed in reverse order as seen in this user guide.
Note:
the OBD port was designed to provide diagnostic information to a car mechanic. But it also provides power. During the infrequent times that diagnostic equipment needs to be connected to the OBD port, you or the mechanic can temporarily disconnect the tracker. An optional cable is available that enables the tracker to always be connected without removing it for diagnostics.
Keep in mind that though the tracker uses only the OBD's power connectors, the other connectors are deployed to physically support the tracker so it stays in place.
Default programming for the OBD Tracker is to update every 3 hours when not moving and once a minute when moving.
