Car Chase – The tra-
cker´s GPS position is
sentnon-stopevery5sec,
whether it is stationary
or in motion. This setup
signicantly shortens the
tracker´s battery life.
Standby – GPS position
locating is inactive. The
tracker is logged in the
network non-stop and
awaits a command to
switch to another setup.
Asleep – GPS position
locating is inactive. The
tracker logs in to the
network once in a given
period and searches for
a command to switch to
another setup.
Periodic wake up –
The tracker wakes up re-
gularly in a given period,
locates GPS position
and goes to sleep again.
This setup improves the
tracker´soperatingtime.
Power OFF – All functions
are switched off. The tra-
cker can only be switched
on again by charging.
DATA LOGGING
The tracker device uses an internal memory for
dataloggingthatiscapableofstoringupto20,000
records. When the device loses the GSM/GPRS
signal,GPSreceptioncontinuesunchangedandall
positionsareloggedintothememorydependingon
thepresentmodeofthetracker.Oncereconnected
toaGSM/GPRSnetworkwithasatisfactorysignal,
storedGPSpositionsareautomaticallysent.
IfthedeviceiswithoutasufcientGSM/GPRSsig-
nal for a long time, it may automatically overwrite
thememory,startingfromtheoldestrecordeditem
to the newest.
If the device is not in the direct view of the sky,
catchingGPSpositionmaytakelongerormightnot
becaught atall (e.g.insideabuilding, deepin lu-
ggage,incargospaces,etc.)

CHARGING THE DEVICE
The tracker is recharged by using a wireless char-
gingpadthatiscompatiblewiththeQistandard.We
strongly recommend usage of the original rechar-
ging pad and adapter supplied only. Before starting
to charge it is important to disconnect the charger
fromthepowersourceandthenreconnectit.
The recharging pad must be plugged in and swit-
ched on. The charger has two coloured signals –
1blueLEDand1redLED.Afterbeingplugged in,
the red LED on the recharging pad lights up. The pad
willstartrechargingthedeviceimmediatelyaslong
as the device has been correctly placed on the pad.
Correct recharging is indicated by both red and blue
LED lights shining. If the batteries in the tracker are
completelyat,itwilltakearound4hourstocomple-
telyrechargethem.
Correct placement of the device on the rechar-
ging pad
Place the device on the pad so that the recharging
sign lies in the centre of the pad.

Key for fast icon orientation:
The device reads GPS locations during
modesmarkedwiththisicon.
The device is constantly registered into
the GSM network and not in GPRS.
The device does not read GPS locations
inmodesmarkedwiththisicon.Thetra-
cker waits for instruction to change the
operationmodeandthereforesavesba-
ttery life.
Certain modes may request to set the
times for how long the tracker should
remainin themode. Inthese casesthe
mode alternates between short peri-
ods of normal usage (“wake up”) and
varying longer periods of economical
usage(sleep).Whenthetrackerisinthe
“asleep”phaseitisonlypossibletoreset
themodeduringthenextwakeupperiod.
Cancelling unwanted switching off
After the setting of the “Power OFF” mode the
device is switched off. The device will not react to
anychangesinmodemadethroughtheapplication
duringthePowerOFFmode.
If a request to switch off the device is sent acci-
dentally it is possible to cancel this request within
10minutesaftersendingitbyrequestingaswitchto
adifferentmode.Donotforgettocheck(usingthe
application)thatyouhavemadethemodechange
correctly.
Display of data
Before it is possible to display the GPS locations of
thedeviceintheNAMtrackerapplication(orinother
monitoringapplications)itisessentialthatthedevi-
ce has sent these GPS locations. For sending GPS
locations it is necessary to have a GPRS signal and
sufcientbatterycapacity(i.e.chargedbattery).

• Bothlightsturnoff–thetrackerisfullycharged
• BlueLEDashesatregularonesecondintervals
– there is an error in recharging
• BlueLEDashesirregularly–thetrackeris
 chargedandperiodicrunningdown/chargingof
 thebatteryisoccurring(ifthedeviceisleftonthe
 padforalongtime)
Resolving recharging problems
IftheblueLEDashesregularly,thereisanerrorin
recharging.Possiblecauses andremediesinclude
the following:
• Thereisaconductiveobjectthatcausespower
 diversion near to the recharger. Remove any
 conductive (metal) objects from the surface or
close vicinity of the recharger.
• The tracker has moved from its ideal position
during charging and power diversion has occu-
 rred.Remove thetrackerfrom thecharger and
then place it there again at the centre.
• Thetrackeriscoldoroverheated(thepermitted
 temperaturerangeforchargingis0to55°C).Let
 thetrackerwarmup/cooldown.
• Theelectronicsoftherechargerarenotcorrectly
calibrated. Unplug the recharger for 5 seconds
and then plug it in again.
• Thetrackerbatteryhasshort-circuited(e.g.due
 tosuddenimpacts).Inthiscasesendthedevice
to be repaired.
Thetracker,rechargingpadandadapterheatupdu-
ringrecharging.Donotplaceanyobjectsonthem

SEIZE DETECTION
It is possible to use this function on trackers that
have got magnets . The surface of the device
(sidewithmagnets)operatesasasensitiveelectro-
nic sensor. If conditions change due to the device
beingattached/removedfromanelectricallycon-
ductivesurface(e.g.sheetmetal,livingtissue,elect-
rolyte),thisinformationisrecordedandtransmitted.
This is shown on the application under Manipulati-
on/mounting–Yes/No.
Condition changes cannot be registered on electri-
callynon-conductivematerials (wood,plastic,etc.)
oronothersidesofthedeviceapartfromtheside
withmagnets.
The correct setting of the tracker for seize
detection
The tracker must be correctly set in order for the
seize detection to work. This setting is done auto-
matically during every switching on of the device
fromthetotalpoweroff.Thisswitchingonhappens
in the following ways:
• duringtherstusageofthedevice(afterbuyingit),
• duringrechargingwhenthebatterywascomple-
 telyat,
• during switching on of the device whilst on the
 charging pad (after “Power OFF” mode was
 previouslyactivated).
Recommendations
Never switch the device on in situations when it is
touching an electrically conductive object or if it is
magneticallyxed(toasurface).Notcomplyingwith
thisrecommendationwillleadtotheseizedetection
not operating.
Whenrepeatedlyswitchingthedeviceonwereco-
mmend that you place it on the active recharging
pad and start recharging. Let the device lay freely
on the pad so that its top surface (with magnets)
remains clear. Calibration is done automatically.
Recharging is covered in the section Charging the
device.
