The red LED indicates multiple statuses.

searching for the a cellular connection.
2. Solid Red: powered, connected. The device has a GPS fix (successful
connection). The light will remain on during normal device operation.
3. Slow Flash: a slow steady red blink will indicate a problem getting a
GPS fix. Poor weather, parking garages, and large buildings can all
affect the connection. If possible, retry setup in a different location.
4. No Light: the device is not connected correctly and is not functioning.
Please double check that the wires are connected to the correct battery
terminals. Red wire is the positive and black wire is for negative.

Getting Started
You will have received an email containing your default login information; use
this to connect to the platform, configure your device,and view tracking
information (see details later in this manual).
The first step in using your GPS device is to connect the positive and
negative wires to the battery terminals. Then, gently peel and apply the
included adhesive sticker to the back of the device. Mount the device flat,
face up, with the label's arrow pointing toward the front of the vehicle. Make
sure both cables are securely in place before use.
Proper mounting is important! Since the device is motion-activated, insecure
mounting will lead to unreliable readings.
In order for the device to transmit its first location reading, it must be mounted
securely and the vehicle must be moving. Take a quick test drive right after
successful installation!

Geofences
A Geofence is a virtual perimeter around a predefined area that can be
utilized in a variety of ways on the Locate GPS tracking platform. You can
use it to be notified if your device has entered or exited that area or run a
historical report on all visits and time spent within the area.
There are 3 types of geofences:
(1) Circle - Point of the map with a radius around it.
(2) Polygon - Add as many points as you want to define a specific area.
(3) Line - Use this type to be alerted if your device has entered or exited a route.

To locate the area where you would like to create your first geofence, either
manually drag the map to that destination or search for a specific address
by clicking the magnifying glass icon on the map.
Next, click on the "Geofences" tab followed by the "New" button, and then:

map with the following guidelines:
•Circle: Double click anywhere on the
map to set the center and then
determine the radius.
•Polygon: Add at least 3 points to the
map. You can then drag the points to
define your perimeter. Double click on
your last point if you'd like to remove it.
•Line: Use this to connect the points
along a specific route. Change the width
to ensure the line covers the entire area
around the roads of expected travel.

geofence, you can choose to
add an image or assign a color
and transparency.

(4) Delete a geofence you don't need anymore by clicking on the X icon.
