Instructions:

Please note that you will receive 2 tracking units.

  1. Black GSM unit for wiring and sticking to your main vehicle battery inside the engine compartment or a mobile unit that needs charging every 7 days
  2. White Globalstar Satellite unit for sticking to the inside of your windscreen above the license disk

The GSM unit is the one that draws the map and supplies the distance travelled. Normal recording intervals will be set to 10 minutes. While outside of GSM coverage it will still record just like a GPS data logger and will send the data as soon as it enters GSM reception.

The Satellite unit will send a position every 6 hours regardless. This way your location will be known even when you are outside GSM reception. The map will only update your position and not your route taken, wait for the GSM unit to send again to see the route. The batteries should last approximately 6 months. A spare set is included in case of early battery failure.

You may install and switch the units on the day before your trip starts and off once home. Pls close the cover of the satellite unit for dust and water once switched on. Don’t over-tighten as you will crack the lid and it won’t be waterproof anymore.
