Welcome
Thanks for choosing the Sendum PT300 as
your Package Tracking solution!
The purpose of this Quick Start Guide is to
help you get your system up and running
as quickly as possible.
Your PT300 device (model BFA10068) has
been configured for use with the Verizon
wireless service.
Step 1: Get Familiar
PT300 Trackers come in many different
varieties and configurations. Depending on
what you ordered, you may have some, or all,
of the components listed in “Figure 1 - PT300
Component List”.
To get started working with your new PT300,
at a minimum you will need the PT300
Command Module complete with one of the
following:
• a Basic Sensor Pack with the AC Adapter
and Data Cable
• an Advanced Sensor Pack with the AC
Adapter and Data Cable, OR
• the Accessory Pack, complete with an
external power source such as the 10K
mAh Battery Pack (and Battery Charger)

Step 2: Charging
Just like with any new mobile device, you’ll
need to charge your device battery before you
can start using it. This is normally an overnight
process, or at least six hours.
• If you are using either the Basic Sensor
Pack or the Advanced Sensor Pack, you can
charge it by connecting it to the AC Adapter
and then plugging the adapter into any
standard electrical receptacle (see “Figure
3 - Charging up a Sensor Pack”).
• If you are using an Accessory Pack with
the 10K mAh Battery Pack, the process is
similar. Just connect the battery to the AC
adapter and then plug the adapter into
the electrical receptacle (see “Figure 4 -
Charging the 10k mAh Battery Pack”)

Step 3: Airtime Account
In order for your device to operate and
communicate properly, you need to have a
machine-to-machine (M2M) airtime account
set up. If you don’t have an account, please
contact your Verizon representative and
provide them the ‘Device Identifier’ number of
your device.
The Device Identifier is device-specific
serial number found on the back of the
PT300 Command Module (see “Figure
2 - Locating the PT300 Device ID”
on page 2). This identifier is also
known as ESN, MEID, or IMEI.
What’s needed is an M2M airtime account with
SMS texting capability. Typical data plan sizes
are 1 MB, 5 MB, and 10 MB (with the 5 MB
plan being a popular choice).
Step 4 - Provision
Provisioning is a one-time, secure,
and anonymous process in which your
PT300 links with both the Verizon
network and the Sendum device
software to communicate registration
information and initiate operation of
the device.
The process for provisioning your device for
Verizon service is simple:
a) Turn on your PT300 (see “1. Turning
on your PT300” on page 5). This
step initiates communication with both
the Verizon wireless network and with
Sendum.
b) While communicating, both the Network
and Battery LEDs should go on and off
periodically. (See “3. LED Lights and
Status Button” on page 6.)
c) When complete (about a minute), both
Network and Battery lights will go solid
green (indicating success).
d) Unplug the PT300 Command Module
from your pack. This ensures the device
is power-cycled, a necessary step before
the device can be operational.
e) The final step to provisioning is to make
at least one configuration change for
your device. Please refer to “Step 5 -
Web Access” and “Step 6 - Configure”.

process by watching our video at

Step 5 - Web Access
a) Once you have an airtime account in
place and with your device successfully
provisioned, please open up your web
browser and go to Sendum’s web portal
(called Findum™) at
findum.sendum.com
b) If you already have a Findum account
in place and you ordered your new
product with the same email address,
your new PT300 device will have been
automatically added to your existing
account. Just log in using that email
address and your existing password.
c) If you are new to Findum, a new Findum
account would have been created for
you as a part of the purchase process.
The username for this new account is the
email address that you used, or specified,
during purchasing. To obtain a password
for this account, please go to findum.
sendum.com and click the “Forgot your
Password” link. Then just log into Findum
using your email address and your new
password. For a demo of this process,
please visit
www.sendum.com/getpassword
Step 6 - Configure
For complete information and tutorials on how
to use your PT300 trackers within Findum,
please refer to the detailed Findum Help Guide.
Once you are logged into Findum, the guide is
accessible by clicking the Help link in the upper
left hand corner of any Findum page.
Note that when first get your new tracker, you
will have to configure your device with an
Assisted Location, Autonomous Location, or
Sensor Reports interval before the device will
report data.
To access the Device Configuration page within
Findum, click the Devices menu item on the
left side, choose your device, then click the
Configuration tab.
Step 7 - View your Data
Once your PT300 has been configured, you will
be able to track location, gather data, and view
reports.
