The Amber Alert GPS Device (the “Device”) does not have an ON or OFF button. The unit is on at all
times and can only be turned off by pressing the green and red buttons simultaneously for 10-12
seconds.
The charging port is located on the side of the Device between the Voice and SOS buttons. The Device
comes with a battery charger, but is compatible with any standard micro USB charger. Immediately
charge the Device for at least 4 hours before first time use, preferably next to a window or exterior
door to receive the strongest possible GPS signal. When charging, a red LED light located
approximately 1 inch around the device from the red button blinks; when fully charged the red light
remains solid. It is recommended that you completely charge the Device each evening so that it will
be at its peak performance.
The red button located on one side of the Device is the SOS Button, and is for use in an emergency.
Holding down this button, for four seconds or longer, sends an alert to your pre-determined
emergency contacts. The SOS Button also has a bump on it so that it can be distinguished from the
Voice Button and can be pushed in case of an emergency by ‘feel’ only. Please practice this with your
child so that they are completely familiar with this feature. For more on the SOS Alert, please see
page 8.
The green button on the side of the Device is the Voice Button, and is for use when initiating a Voice
Alert from the Device. Voice is a separate feature with an additional monthly charge. When the green
button is pressed and held down for four seconds or longer, the Device will call the pre-designated
number listed in the Tracking Portal. For more on Voice Alerts and setting up Voice Users, please see
page 11.

In order for the Device to track accurately, please check to see if the Device is receiving the needed
signals (GPS and GSM). This is done by clicking the red button (SOS Button) on the Device. Once
clicked, the Device will display one of three colors: red, blue, or green which indicate the following
feature status:
Solid Red = fully charged battery
Blinking Red = battery not fully charged
Solid Green = solid GPS signal
Blinking Green = intermittent GPS signal
Solid Blue = full GSM signal (cell phone coverage)
Blinking Blue = intermittent GSM signal (cell phone coverage)
To cycle through the colors, click the red button for one second each time.
