Activation and Setup:

2. Account Creation & Login: Users must visit www.spytec.com/gps-activation from a browser, click "Activate a new tracker," and complete a multi-screen form. Login details will be emailed within 24 hours, after which the tracker will be activated and its location visible on the mapping platform.
Placement:
- The tracker requires maximum access to the open sky to maintain its connection with GPS satellites.
- It should not be surrounded by metal, as metal can block GPS signals.
- Avoid placing the tracker in metal enclosures, the middle of the undercarriage, the engine compartment, wheel wells, metal bumpers, the trunk, glove compartment, or any other closed/lidded compartment.
- When using the included mount, it clips onto the back of the tracker. The four tapping screws provided allow for a more permanent mounting solution.
LED Indicators:
- Status LED (Green) and GPS LED (Blue):
  - During power-on, both LEDs will flash for approximately 5 minutes, then turn off. This is normal.
  - During this 5-minute cycle, the green status LED will slowly blink about once every 3 seconds.
  - During this 5-minute cycle, the blue GPS LED will rapidly blink when searching for a GPS signal and then slowly blink once connected to the GPS network.
  - When powering off, both lights will flash simultaneously.
Troubleshooting:
- Incorrect Location (e.g., New Jersey, 1000 days ago): Ensure the green light is blinking every 3 seconds. Take the device for a drive lasting at least 10 minutes.
- Blue Screen or Coast of Africa on GPS Platform: This indicates no GPS signal lock. Take the device outside for a 10-minute walk or drive to update its location.
- "Last updated X days ago" (even if in use): Verify the green light is blinking every 3 seconds and the device is properly positioned. If the issue persists, contact support@spytec.com.
- Not Updating (device on for some time): If the green LED blinks every 3 seconds, take it for a 10-15 minute drive. If still not updating, contact Tech Support.
