vehicle manufacturer, best placement will vary by vehicle. If signal strength
seems to be weak, try repositioning the device before taking further
troubleshooting steps.
The Livewire features both an internal and an external antenna for signal
strength. Both antennas are needed to ensure GPS communication.
The external antenna is highly sensitive: install it as indicated on the
antenna, with the antenna in the UP position. When installing the unit in
the dash of the vehicle, place the unit with the BHS logo facing up with as
little metallic obstruction above it as possible. Because of differences in
vehicle manufacturer, best placement will vary by vehicle. If signal strength
seems to be weak, try repositioning external antenna before taking further
troubleshooting steps.
Once finished, take the car for a drive for 15-20 minutes so the device can
register on the GPS network and begin reporting.
The Livewire is motion activated; it will only attempt to communicate with the
platform when motion is detected, which will update the tracker’s position on
the map.
