Global Asset Tracker Unpacking your device The package contains: Global Asset Tracker (Note, the battery is inside the unit) Dimensions: 119.5 x 62.
Global Asset Tracker Setting Up For best results follow the set-up order below. Charging the device 1. Connect the AC adapter and USB cable. 2. Connect the micro USB cable to the charger. Device: Attach the micro USB end to the charging port on the end of the device: 3. Plug the AC adapter into an outlet. NOTE: It can take up to 5 hours to fully charge for the first time. Charging batteries All batteries should be charged for 5 hours before use.
Global Asset Tracker Device placement Considerations for the best GPS performance: The device has an Omni-directional antenna for GPS and receives GPS signals from all 6 sides. Connection to a satellite receiving longitude and latitude coordinates is required to receive GPS location data. The best GPS performance is achieved when the device is placed flat above cargo, avoiding obstructions from surrounding items.
Global Asset Tracker Location: Tracking GPS location of a pallet shipment on a truck or ground based transportation For best reception, place device closest to the end of the truck/transport, near the door. Do not enclose in a metal based package or material, as this can interfere with cellular and GPS signals. If using shipping pallets, secure the device to the top or side of the preferred pallet using stretch plastic pallet wrap.
