The Spytec GPS M6 Pro XL Extended Battery and All-Weather Case for GL300 Series
Trackers is a kit that combines a long-life, rechargeable lithium-ion battery with a
tough case that adheres to a metallic surface of a vehicle, mobile equipment or other
asset in transit using two heavy-duty magnets. The external battery can extend the
battery life of your tracker by up to twelve times, or an additional six months beyond
the standard battery life of GL300 series trackers. The case houses the extended
battery, connection cable, and your GPS tracker (not included).

Step 1: Charging the Battery
1. Plug the round connector from the
cable on the AC adapter into the larger
round socket of the lithium-ion battery
pack cable. Plug the adapter into a
wall outlet or power strip. To fully
charge a zero-charged battery, plan
on keeping the charger plugged in for
up to 15 hours. The LED on the power
adapter is red during charging and turns green when the battery is fully charged.
2. When you unplug the adapter from a power outlet, but it’s still connected to the
battery, the LED will be green. This means the battery is powering the LED, but it
does not indicate whether the battery is fully or partially charged. Store the power
adapter separately since it will not fit in the case along with a GPS tracker.
Step 2: Connecting the GPS Tracker
• Connect the connection cable
to the battery pack by plugging
the 4-pin connector on the cable
to the 4-pin plug on the battery
pack. The plug will only fit one
way. Once connected, plug the
other end of the connection
into the GL300. Once the tracker
is powered on, it will draw power
from the battery pack.
• Note: The external (extended battery) will NOT charge the tracker’s internal battery.
For the most long lasting power, you should fully charge the tracker’s internal
battery separately before connecting the fully-charged extended battery.

Remaining Battery Capacity Status
• The Spytec GPS Tracker software will show the amount of remaining battery
power for each tracker as a dynamic icon next to the name of the tracker and its
street address overlaying the map. The battery icon will range from solid to hollow
depending on the remaining capacity. When low, the icon will display red. When you
hover the hand icon over the battery, the percentage remaining will be displayed as
adjacent text, such as 8%.
• Note: When the extended battery is connected, the software platform displays the
remaining capacity of the extended battery only. It does not count the remaining
capacity in the tracker’s internal battery.
Attaching the Case to the Vehicle
• With the battery, switch module, tracker, and all wires snugly packed inside with
nothing protruding, shut the case and snap the two-tab latch into the slots. Two
industrial-strength magnets are attached to brackets. Attach each bracket to the
side hinges so that the magnet, when swung around, will adhere to the bottom of
the case. Make sure to peel off the adhesive covers so that the magnets will stick to
the case bottom.

• You would typically mount the case upside down against a flat metallic surface
under a vehicle. If you’re attaching the case to a vehicle or another type of asset
such as construction equipment or a safe, make sure you attach it to the outside of
any metallic enclosure. The case should not be placed under a hood, in the trunk,
or in a safe. The case is made of plastic as metal will interfere with transmission
signals.
• The magnets will keep the case securely in place. You’ll have to exert some force to
pull the case off a surface if you want to move the case. The magnets won’t damage
the mounting surface, and you won’t have to drill any holes.
• Note: Depending on placement, the case won’t necessarily have to be removed from
its magnetic mount when you open the lid and temporarily remove components for
recharging.
