Welcome! Thank you for purchasing the Oyster2 GPS Tracke  rr from LoneStar Tracking. It’s the
best GPS tracker available with a dustproof and waterproof IP67 rating. With proper use, this
unit can provide up to 5 years of uninterrupted service protecting assets in all conditions.
This manual will guide you through the setup and installation process as well as take a look at
the software used to monitor your Oyster2 GPS Tracker.
NOTE: BEFORE INSTALLING PERMANENTLY, please note that the Oyster2 GPS Tracker
uses satellites to receive position information and uses cellular towers to share information with
our server. An unobstructed view of the sky is best but the tracker may work even if hidden.
After initial setup, test the unit where you want to place it to see if there is a clear enough signal
(Subscription  Data Plan  required, see the Section 2  for details).
NOTE: Damaging the casing of the Oyster2 GPS Tracker or installing batteries incorrectly may
void its warranty.
1. Batteries
Your package includes (3) Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries (may be pre-installed).
The Oyster2 requires (3) AA batteries to operate. While any AA batteries will work, note that
standard AA batteries only last a few days. And while other brands of lithium AA batteries will
last a few years, only the Energizer Ultimate Lithium  batteries (available at most hardware
stores or LoneStarTracking.com) can deliver up to 5 years of operation.
NOTE: When operating the Oyster2 GPS Tracker in an extremely cold environment, we
recommend Lithium/Thionyl Chloride (LTC) batteries (available for purchase at our website)
Installing Batteries

recommended).

NOTE: Make note of your Oyster2 GPS Tracker unit’s IMEI / Serial Number, found inside the
battery chamber or on a sticker on the outside of the tracker. This is needed to activate your
subscription
Replace batteries according to the diagram inside the chamber.
WARNING: Installing a battery in the wrong direction can damage the Oyster2 GPS Tracker and
will void your warranty.

5. Installing the Oyster2 GPS Tracker
NOTE: BEFORE INSTALLING the Oyster2 GPS Tracker permanently on your asset, download
and install the Lonestar Tracking App from your phone or tablet’s software site. Setup a 
subscription data plan and check that your device receives a signal where you
want it installed (in addition to signal clarity, the Oyster2 uses AT&T Cat-M cellular towers
which offer coverage in Mexico, Canada and the United States but may not cover your
area).
There are two mounting holes on the base of the Oyster2 GPS Tracker which can aid
installation. However, since this unit can be installed nearly anywhere on the asset and used on
a variety of vehicles including boats, cars, trailers, and more, there is no standard installation.
Some people have used zip-ties to bind the tracker to its asset. Others use self-tapping screws
to mount the unit firmly onto a metal frame. Lonestar Tracking also offers strong magnets to
secure your Oyster2 GPS Tracker without damaging any surface.
WARNING: No matter what method is used to secure your device, make sure it doesn’t damage
the case which may void your warranty.
After you install the device, please check the Lonestar Tracking App to be sure the signal is
good. To access the tracking system, you can use a computer or your smartphone. To access
via a computer, please visit https://fleetone.lonestartracking.com. To use your iPhone/Android
device, please visit the app store and
Your Oyster2 GPS Tracking Device is designed to sleep when not in motion to save power.
When moving, the device will wake up and begin reporting its position once every 5 minutes (or
1 hour depending on the subscription you selected). Once your asset stops again, the tracker
will go back to sleep to save power.
