2 Connect the cable’s remaining BLACK wire to a ground source.

3 Connect the other end of the DC Direct Connect Cable into the power connection labeled

“P.I.”, located on the back of the Tracking Unit.

Power Up - Backup Battery - (optional)

The Power Up is a battery equipped with a built in charger, designed for use with the Shadow

Tracker j2 Tracking Unit.. When connected, it simultaneously supplies power to the Tracking

Unit, and keeps itself recharged through the vehicle’s electrical system. The Power Up’s fail-

safe functionality is designed to supply backup power to the Tracking Unit whenever the primary

supply of power is disrupted.

For example: if the DC Direct-Connect Cable were to blow a fuse, or the DC Power Adapter

became disconnected, the Tracking Unit would normally stop GPS recording. But, connected to

the Power Up, the Tracking Unit would continue to recieve power, and GPS recording would be

uninterupted.

The PowerUp‘s battery is charged using the DC Direct-Connect Cable or the DC Power

Adapter. During normal operation the battery is charged whenever the vehicle is in motion, and

power is delivered to the Tracking Unit via the Battery Connect Cable. When fully charged, the

Power Up allows the Tracking Unit to operate for up to 28 hours, before re-charging.

When the Power Up is connected to a charging voltage, the status LED is

GREEN when fully

charged, and GREEN/RED when charging.

OTE: The Power Up battery is not shipped with a full charge. The battery can be fully charged

in approximately 4 hours using the optional AC Power Adapter, or once installed into a vehicle, the

battery will reach a full charge in approximately 5-7 hours, depending on vehicle motion.

To install the power up backup battery:

1 Connect a power source, either the DC Direct-Connect Cable or the DC Power Adapter,

into the vehicle

2 Assemble the Tracking Unit and the Power Up Unit together using the Power Up Clamp

Shell. See Figure 1

3 Plug the RED end of the Battery Connect Cable into the Power Up Unit at the connection

labeled “P.O.”.
