SHADOW TRACKER JR., J2, PRO AND PERFORMER

The Shadow Tracker Jr., j2, Pro and Performer Tracking Units are each compatible with your

Shadow Tracker Professional software program. They are designed to monitor and record the

travel activities of your vehicle’s by utilizing Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. GPS uses

a stationary system of satellites placed in orbit around the globe to calculate an objects position

anywhere on earth. This GPS system is maintained by the U.S. Department of Defense.

Each Tracking Unit is equipped with a GPS receiver and a memory module. By utilizing the

attached GPS antenna, the Unit’s GPS receiver is used to calculate the Tracking Unit’s exact GPS

coordinates at any given time. This GPS data is then stored in the Tracking Unit’s memory until

it is downloaded and processed using the Shadow Tracker Professional software. Each of these

tracking units is downloaded manually. See Manual Downloading and Processing

NOTE: Before GPS data can be processed, the Tracking Unit must be validated to the Shadow

Tracker Professional software.
