3. Charge for at least 8 hours, or until the red LED turns solid.
4. Disconnect from charger. Red LED will go out.
5. If the green LED is blinking once per second, there may be an issue with cellular
connectivity in your area. Power off the device, then power back on. Make sure
you’re outside or near a window. If the green light continues to blink after 2
minutes, contact Spytec GPS Tech Support to assist you.

Step 4: Placement of the Tracker
• The GL300 needs to have as much access to the open sky as possible to retain
its connection to the GPS satellites.
• Tracker cannot be surrounded by metal since it will block GPS signals. DO
NOT hide the GL300 in metal enclosures. DO NOT place it in the middle of the
undercarriage, the engine compartment, wheel wells, metal bumpers, the trunk,
glove compartment, or in any closed/lidded compartment. The best position for
the device within a vehicle is under the driver or passenger seat.
