Finding the assets you care about

With your new @ctiveFind device you can:

• Quickly find a valuable asset that is carrying a location device by making a
location fix request via a phone, two-way pager, or secure website.

Because this location service integrates GPS navigation technology, a two-way
wireless messaging network, and the internet, it has enhanced accuracy,
coverage, and accessibility. It can work in places that other location systems
cannot—for example, in cities and indoors.

You have access to these alert-sending and location-finding services 24 hours a
day, 365 days a year.

Use the information in this guide to get acquainted with the device’s features.
Then use the world’s smallest, most accurate portable location device to locate
what you care about.

Warning The @ctiveFind device provides the best coverage that current

location technology can offer, but it does not work everywhere. If the
device is in an area of poor network or GPS coverage or in certain
indoor locations (for example, an elevator), it may not provide a
location fix.

Warning During normal use this device is not to be located within 20 cm (8

inches) of a person. It is intended for Asset Tracking only.

Setting up or changing account information

In addition to providing the usual account identification and billing information,
you will need to let your service provider know what action to take when they
receive a message from your @ctiveFind device. You can configure up to three
separate responses. Typically these instructions would be to send a location
alert message to a designated contact by e-mail, phone, or pager. Your service
provider can also send an alert message to your device. You can set up your
account to specify what this alert will indicate and under what circumstances it
will be sent. (Note that this alert will not be muted by standby mode —see

page 8.) Before you contact your service provider about your account, be

prepared with the following information. You may want to make a note of this
information, either here or in a more secure place:

• Account ID: ___________________________________________________

• Device ID: ____________________________________________________

• Password: ____________________________________________________

• Action your service provider will perform when you press:
Button 1: _____________________________________________________

Button 2: _____________________________________________________
Both buttons: __________________________________________________

• What a network alert indicates:

Battery Information

Your @ctiveFind device needs one AA battery.
Battery life is affected by several factors, including:

• Cold weather

• Quality of the battery

• Number of location fixes performed

• Number of times the alerts are used

• Type of battery—Although alkaline batteries are recommended for general
use, the @ctiveFind device can also use other types of batteries (such as
lithium) that have a longer lifespan. Ask your service provider for details.

Note Non-alkaline batteries may require special disposal procedures.

When the battery needs to be replaced, the device will provide two short beeps
every 60 seconds if your service provider has enabled the buzzer.

➤ To install the battery

1 Remove the battery compartment door.
2 Insert one AA battery, aligning the + and - symbols on the battery with those

in the battery compartment.

3 Replace the battery compartment door.
