Ensure the mini-USB ends are properly aligned.
plugging the unit in to power will power it on. The power light will light up briefly indicating power on. To power off the unit, hold down the power button for around 3 seconds. You’ll see the power light begin to flicker indicating it will power off soon. Note: It can take up to a minute for the device to power down after the red indicator light turns on.

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 automobiles are constructed differently. If you want to track covertly, the Weatherproof Magnetic GPS Box may be the best solution for you. When placing the device beneath a vehicle, be sure that the side with the LEDs is facing down, toward the ground, and that it is as near the edge of the vehicle as possible.
