Battery life depends on several factors including temperature,
network, signal strength and Locator service features used. Location
requests include the following Zoombak Locator service features:
“Find Now,” “Safety Zones” mode and ‘Continuous Tracking” mode.
When your Zoombak Locator indicates low battery (blinking amber
LED), recharge your battery as dened in the section of this User
Guide titled Charging the Battery”

may eventually need to be replaced. The Zoombak Locator battery is

Powering the Car Locator ON/ OFF
In order to power the Zoombak Car Locator on or off, follow these
simple instructions:
1. Power ON- Press and hold the Power Button until the Locator
Status LED Indicator begins to glow (approximately two seconds).
Blinking green indicates operation OK.
2. Power OFF-Press and hold the Power Button until the Locator
Status LED Indicator begins to ash quickly (approximately two
seconds). Locator Status LED Indicator will shut OFF when the
Locator has properly shut down. A key feature of your Zoombak
Car Locator during the power off process is that the Locator will
determine its current location and send a power off notication via
email and / or mobile text message with its current location and
time/date information (see the Zoombak Car Locator Quick Start
Guide for details on setting up your alerts). The Locator Status
LED Indicator will continue to blink during the power off process,
which may take up to 2 minutes to complete this important
notication feature.
Monitoring the Car Locator Status
Refer to the following list in order to determine the status of your
Zoombak Car Locator LED Indicator at any time.
BLINKING GREEN Indicates Power ON
BLINKING AMBER (YELLOW-ORANGE) Indicates Low Battery
GREEN Indicates Fully Charged (when Charging)
AMBER (YELLOW-ORANGE) Indicates Charging
NO COLOR Indicates Power OFF or Battery Needs to
be Charged
