Activating the Device
After the device is purchased, a monthly service plan must be activated so that
the device is able to send data to your Spy Tec account. There is a basic option
for $25 per month that allows 1 minute updates. Updates are then 30, 10 and
5 seconds for the more expensive plans, as shown in the chart below.
Activate your GPS device(s) by filling out the activation form at
http://www.spytecinc.com/gpstracking. Tracking plans and payment can be
setup there using major bank cards, credit cards or gift cards. An e-mail will be
sent within 24 hours of activating your device. This email will contain a link to
the GPS site (www.spytecgps.com), as well a user name and password.

Charging the Device
Lift the flap covering the charging port and plug the charger into the unit via
USB port, then into an electrical outlet. When fully charged as indicated by the
battery icon to the bottom right on the device, remove the device from the
charger.
The battery icon will have a diminishing fill eventually resulting in a red
portion with empty outline indicating a low battery. Recharge the device as
needed.
*The SIM card is already installed in the device. Do not remove or replace it.
Powering the Device
To turn the device on, press the Power button once. As the device reaches the
satellite(s), the middle light will begin blinking and any movement will be
reported in time increments according to the GPS plan. To turn the device off,
press the Power button again
Placing the Device
Make sure that the device is placed near a window or on a surface that does
not obstruct the signal reception. It is best not to be placed in a trunk. Watch
the signal lights to ensure that the best reading is made.
