Track24 PackMaster Lo-Pro II User manual

PMLP II Quick Start Guide
The PackMaster Lo-Pro II is powered by a 1.95 A-Hr Lithium-Ion battery which is supplied in a partially
charged state. It can either be charged using a mains power supply or a USB-mini cable. The mains
power supply can recharge the PackMaster Lo-Pro II rechargeable battery in approximately five hours. A
USB 1.0 should be able to charge the PackMaster Lo-Pro II in about a day assuming the port is capable
of producing an output current of 100mA. A USB 2.0 can charge the device in about four hours.
The PackMaster Lo-Pro II has a battery icon on the LCD screen indicating the charging status. The
device can be safely operated and does not need to be turned off while charging; however, the battery
icon will not correctly display the charging status unless the unit is unplugged from a power source. When
fully charged the Lithium-Ion battery should power the PackMaster Lo-Pro II for up to 1,200 position
reports (which is roughly 10 days when reporting at 10 minute intervals).
The default reporting rate for the PackMaster Lo-Pro II is set at 15 minute intervals. A user can manually
change the device reporting rate from the ‘Home’ screen by selecting Tracking Report Rate before then
choosing which reporting rate the device should operate to.
Track24 recommends that the PMLP II unit is tested monthly to ensure a steady Iridium and GPS fix. This
will be shown on the homepage of the unit, with vertical bars indicating successful satellite and GPS
communication.

If you are having issues with your PLMLP II we recommend checking:
1. Has the PMLP II had a full 5 hours charge?
2. Are you using the PMLP II in a built up area? Any satellite unit must have a clear line of sight to the
sky to be functional.
3. Is the PMLP II battery LED a steady green? If it is flashing, this indicates it is low on battery.
