Once charged make sure that the rubber port cover is secure, and make sure the device
registers on the satellite network. To do this, we suggest placing it on the dashboard of a
car and taking it for a drive for 20-30 minutes. It is important that it has a clear,
unobstructed view of the sky. Since the device is motion-activated, it is not sufficient to
leave it outside or on a window sill for it to register. It must be moving in order to register
and report its location.
Placing Your Device
Once the iTrail Solo begins reporting, the Cellular Data LED (green) will blink about once every
10 seconds to indicate that it is connected to the cellular network. If the green Cell Data LED is
not blinking, then the device is not connected to the network.
Your iTrail Solo will always give the most accurate location data when it has a clear view of the
sky. It is capable of transmitting and receiving through materials like glass, plastic, and cloth,
but not other materials such as metal. Keep this in mind when placing the device. Avoid
placing the device in the trunk of a vehicle. It may or may not report from a glove
compartment or underneath a seat. This interference can vary from vehicle to vehicle,
however, as all vehicles are constructed differently.
Note: If you want to track covertly, the Weatherproof Magnetic Case may be the best solution for you. When
placing the device beneath a vehicle, be sure that the side with the LEDs is facing downward, toward the
ground, and that it is a near the edge of the vehicle as possible.
