Tips
Clean and flat metal surface
provides much more pull-force
than rusted, dust covered, or

Important Steps before Deployment
1. GETTING CELLULAR NETWORK REGISTERED FIRST
- Power on the device by single press on the power button.
- Make sure the red power indicator slow blinking (half second on, half second off).
- The slowly blinking red will turn to fast blinking (¼ second on, ¼ second off), meaning
cellular is registered and in normal transmission status. This usually takes 3-10 seconds.
If it stays in solid red and does not change to blinking status, it may indicate failure of network
registration and signals cannot be transmitted. It could be caused by:
- The wireless carrier does not have coverage in this area. User can try from a different
location a few miles away.
- Device is in problem status. Contact Technical Support for further diagnostic.
2. GETTING GPS READY (VERY IMPORTANT IF TO DEPOLOY COVERTLY)
- After network is registered, DO NOT deploy this device to a hidden place yet.
- Instead, bring this device in hand and outdoor for a 2-10 minutes (varies depending on
environmental and weather conditions) until a blue/green background light surrounded
power button area becomes flashing.
- At this time, local satellite is acquired and locked. Now this device can be deployed in a
covert position.
3. GOOD PLACEMENT AND BAD PLACEMENT (VERY IMPORTANT IF TO DEPOLOY COVERTLY)
- The front of this device is where internal antenna is mounted.
- It is important NOT to get this side facing against metal object, battery, very thick materials,
for wireless signals can be significantly reduce or completely blocked, resulting in excessive
seeking status or not detectable at all.
- ALWAYS have this front side have a way pass out to the sky, directly or indirectly, without
metal objects in between.
- ALWAYS avoid placing this device in a metal enclosure, where radio signals are shielded.
4. PUTTING THE CHARGING PORT COVER ON IF OUTDOOR USE.
- Water leaking inside can damage this electronic device and is risky of electronic hazardous.
- Never drop into water or overheat.

Tips to Maintain Better Battery Capacity
Always use the designated charger.
Avoid over drain (over discharge).
Begin to charge at no less than 40% may help to
maintain best battery capacity and make this
battery to last longer.
What’s the reasonable time battery can last?
Your device built with motion sensor and power is automatically controlled by motion sensor - that
means device automatically powers up when motion is detected, and goes to sleep when motion no
longer lasts. When device is standing still and not in motion, it automatically goes to sleep mode for
power conservation.
Your device is motion-activated, so its battery operation hour is usually measured by hours of in-
motion. Number of operation days could vary and depends on many factors: motion hours,
reporting interval, signal quality, temperature, environment conditions, etc.
Actual operation hours may vary due to interval setting, signal strength, temperature, and environment conditions.
Generally: 1) The faster the interval is, the shorter time the battery can last. 2) The better the signal condition is, the longer
time the battery can last. 3) The shorter time device in motion, the longer time battery can last. 4) Battery hours may
become significantly shorter when environment temperature over normal range.
Forced Shutdown - device forces to shut down when battery level drops to or below 1% to prevent
over drain damaging battery.
Temperature Range – battery performs the best in range of 40 F° - 80 F°. Battery capacity may
dramatically drop down when below 40 F°, or may stop functioning when over 80 F°.
Battery Chemical Aging - battery capacity may begin to decrease when the chemical’s agess over 2-3
years, or over hundreds times of charging cycle.
This battery has no memory effects.

Captured: Device is put in a good place/position with
good signal quality - location is successfully captured
from satellite. Address and map is successfully
updated on map at the time.
Seeking: Device is not with good placement/position,
satellite signal can not be received or signal quality is
bad – device has tried receive from satellite but
ended with failure. Usually caused by improper
physical placement, position or angel, being inside a
building, facing against metal, battery body, magnet,
or other objects that blocks radio signal, or inside
metal enclosure. The way location or address can not
work out.
