Mileage Ace Wi
Normal Use Instructions & Warranty

WELCOME
NORMAL USE
Once setup, The Mileage Ace is designed to stay permanently in
your car, always connected to the USB car charger. As soon as it
turns on it will begin tracking your trip. When you turn your car o
it will search for a WiFi network to upload through. Mileage Ace will
never try to upload over WiFi while the car is moving.
The device can hold approximately 50 hours worth of driving
between uploads, but it is recommended you upload as frequently
as possible.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
It is your responsibility to ensure your device is correctly set up
by adding WiFi networks and linking the device to your account. It
is also your responsibility to ensure the device is always on when
you are tracking miles, and that it has access to your WiFi signal to
perform uploads often enough exceed its internal memory.
Check your online account once per week to ensure every trip is
recorded and uploaded. Failure to do so can result in lost trips and
lost mileage.

If available, we recommend you use one of these power ports.
Trips will start and end when you turn the car on and o.
PORTS THAT ALWAYS STAY ON
Your device will end trips when the vehicle stops for 5 minutes.
We highly recommend the device be allowed to turn o once per
month and that you disconnect it from power if the vehicle is not
being used for more than 4 days.

suggested install
locations
DO mount the device where it has good access to the sky. We
suggest the lower dash or console area. Try a few spots to see how
it works before nal mounting.
DO NOT MOUNT THE DEVICE IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT. Excessive
direct sunlight generates signicant heat and destroys electronics.
This damage is not covered by warranty.

BUTTONS AND LIGHTS
BUSINESS BUTTON
Press this button to toggle into and out of
Business Mode. If on, this guarantees your trip
will be logged as business. If this is blinking blue,
business mode is ON.
LIGHT COLORS (BUSINESS MODE + GPS STATUS)
This button lights to three dierenct colors.
GREEN: Good GPS signal (it’s tracking you)
RED: Acquiring GPS signal (it’s not tracking you)
BLUE (Blinking): Business Mode is ON
If the device is in Business Mode, this light will blink betwen BLUE
and either GREEN or RED so you can also see the GPS signal status.
12
If you would like to use this button to also set your personal trips
(when business mode is o), choose Manual when prompted
while linking your device to your account or visit the Automatic
Business Trip Detection section of the Account Settings page
and turn the setting o for this device.

WIFI LINK STATUS - usually this is o
ORANGE: Searching for a known Wi network
BLINKING BLUE AND GREEN: Uploading
RED: Contact support if you always see this.
POWER STATUS
GREEN: Getting power from USB
ORANGE: Turning o
WPS CONNECT
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is an easy and
secure way to connect your Mileage Ace to
your router without any settings and password input. Just press this button
and the WPS button on your router. The WiFi light will turn blue as your
network name (SSID) and password are automatically added to your Mileage
Ace. Requires your router to have WPS functionality enabled.
BUSINESS AUDIO REMINDER ON/OFF
By default, your Mileage Ace will play a sound
to remind you it is in Business Mode. Press this
button to toggle that sound on or o.
13
Mileage Ace only attempts WiFi connections right after turning on,
and right after it has lost USB power (before it turns o). If the light
turns Orange then turns o, it either did not nd a known network
or was unable to connect. Use the Setup page to troubleshoot WiFi.
