NOTES ON USE
For this product to operate correctly, it requires good reception of both mobile phone coverage
and GPS satellite signals.
The tracker is designed to operate correctly outdoors.
GPS signals cannot usually be received indoors as buildings and other materials block reception.
When the tracker cannot receive either signal, it will constantly search for them. This will cause the
battery to drain faster.
When not being used, always connect the charger to it is always at 100% ready for use.
Due the water resistance and the rubber membrane inside this product, the LED’s may be difficult
to see in brightly areas. Please shield to observe them.
