Before starting the vehicle swipe a valid NFC tag, The NFC reader will beep and the
Green LED will flash.
Prior to installation go into the database and ensure “Beep when no driver
key inserted”
Is ON if this feature is not turned on the Driver ID/Immobiliser will not
function correctly.
Failure to swipe tags prior to starting will cause the GO6 to beep
continuously until the vehicle is shut off and the NFC resets; about 30
seconds.
Allow the vehicle to run until each of the LEDs (RED, GREEN and BLUE)
have illuminated. Keep in mind your GO6 will now be in debug mode for
two ignition cycles.
Tag verification:
One at a time swipe each of the NFC cards, the reader should flash the
green LED and beep for each card swiped.

appear in RED you must verify the installation.
Termination Shunt
You may notice your IOX™ comes with a termination shunt installed in the expansion port. If you are
installing more than one IOX™ in a daisy chain you will need to remove the shunt from each device in
line with the exception of the “LAST” IOX™ connected. That shunt must remain in the last IOX™ and
should be secured with a zip tie.
The use of the shunt in the LAST IOX™ is necessary for the GO6™ to learn and configure the IOX™ as
effectively as possible.
Note: Failing to install the shunt in the last IOX™ could affect IOX™ configuration, it is recommended
you secure the shunt using a zip tie if not already done.

data through Geotab in-vehicle devices also requires transmission of data through the internet. Failure in internet access will
result in the interruption of communications.
WARNING: Do not attempt to install, reconfigure or remove any product from any vehicle while the vehicle is in motion or
otherwise in operation. All installation, configuration or removal must be done only in stationary vehicles which are securely
parked. Attempting to service units while being operated could result in malfunctions or accidents, leading to death or serious
personal injury.
WARNING: If at any point after a Geotab in-vehicle device is installed, a warning light illuminates on the vehicle dash or the
vehicle stalls or has a marked drop in performance, shut off the engine, remove the device, and contact Geotab support.
WARNING: Do not attempt to remove Geotab in-vehicle devices from the vehicle in which they are originally installed for
installation in another vehicle. Not all vehicles are compatible with Geotab in-vehicle devices, and doing so may result in
unexpected interactions with your vehicle, including sudden loss of power or shutdown of the vehicle’s engine while in
operation or cause your vehicle to operate poorly or erratically.
WARNING: All in-vehicle devices and related cabling must be securely fastened and kept clear of all vehicle controls,
including gas, brake and clutch pedals. You must inspect devices and cabling on a regular basis to ensure all devices and
cabling continue to be securely attached. Loose cabling or devices may impede the use of vehicle controls, resulting in

Improperly fastened in-vehicle devices may detach and impact operators upon sudden acceleration or deceleration, which
may cause injury.
CAUTION: Geotab products do not contain any user-serviceable parts. Configuration, servicing, and repairs must only be

malfunctions of vehicle controls or vehicular environmental systems and result in personal injury.
CAUTION: Geotab in-vehicle devices must be kept clear of debris, water and other environmental contaminants. Failure to
do so may result in units malfunctioning or short-circuiting, causing a fire hazard.
