Battery Life
Mode Battery Life
Standby Up to 120 hours or 5 days
Active Locator Service Up to 150 Location Requests
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 previous section titled “Charging the Battery.”
Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles and
may eventually need to be replaced. The Zoombak Locator battery is
not user replaceable; it can only be replaced by an authorized
service provider. For more information on battery replacement, please
contact Zoombak Customer Care at 1-877-4ZOOMBAK .

Powering the Universal Locator ON/OFF
In order to power the Zoombak Universal 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 Universal 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
Universal 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 Universal Locator Status
Refer to the following list in order to determine the status of your
Zoombak Universal 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

General Usage Tips
GPS devices work by receiving satellite signals from the open sky.
For optimal operating conditions, your Zoombak Universal Locator
needs to be in clear, unobstructed view of the sky in order to have a
line of sight to a group of satellites.
When placing the Locator in an item such as a briefcase, luggage,
or backpack, please ensure as far as possible that there is no solid
material (eg. metal objects) above or surrounding the Locator which
may block or weaken the signal it receives from the sky.
GPS satellites are in constant motion, rising and setting. Under certain
conditions this means a location position that was obtainable fteen
minutes ago in a specic location may not be obtainable in the next
try. In this instance there is no fault with the device. Please wait a
while before trying to obtain a new location.
