Within this period, LandAirSea, Inc. http://www.landairsea.com/ , at its sole discretion, will repair or replace the defective unit, which failed from established normal use.

Important Notice
This tracking device is considered water resistant, NOT waterproof. If the intended use is outside the vehicle, we strongly recommend protecting the device using a waterproof case or alternate method, such as a plastic sandwich bag. Water spray at high speeds can penetrate the device and cause failure. Water damage is not covered under the warranty and repairs require sending the device back to the manufacturer. Cost for time and materials will apply. In addition, we use a powerful magnet to provide secure mounting options. However, mounting this device under a vehicle exposes the unit to road hazards. Because of this, lost units are not covered under the warranty. Warranty information can be viewed on our website at www.landairsea.com.
IT IS THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER, OWNER, OR USER, TO CONSULT LEGAL COUNSEL FOR THE INTERPRETATION OF ANY LAWS APPLICABLE TO THE AREA OF INTENDED USE OF THESE PRODUCTS.

Past Track Software Installation
The following instructions are for Windows XP/Vista/7 installation.
Note: Customers outside the 50 United States and Puerto Rico will not have access to the digital street maps. Therefore, international customers will need to use Google Earth® as their mapping engine. U.S. customers, who can also use Google Earth, can also choose this option if they want to reduce the program size on their computer.
Install the Past Track software BEFORE connecting your Tracking Key/Pro ® to the computer.
You must follow these instructions exactly. If you do not, your GPS device will not download correctly.
1.Insert the Past Track CD that came with your GPS device into your CD/DVD drive. The software installation program will start automatically.
The following User Account Control screen will display on Windows Vista and Windows 7 computers. This is normal. Past Track will install the mapping system and GPS device drivers on your computer. This will not harm your computer in any way. Choose ‘Yes’.
