4.4 Varsler og meldinger

The device can send various alerts to your phone via the app. It is recommended to keep the default notification settings and enable all notifications for comprehensive monitoring.

  • Vibrasjonsalarm: Enable this to receive alerts when the device detects movement or vibration. After parking for 5 minutes, if the device senses vibration (e.g., car restart), an alarm is sent. Note: If the device is already in motion, it will detect vibration but no alarm will be sent.
  • Alarm for lavt batteri: Notifies you when the battery level is low.
  • Overhastighetsalarm: Alerts you if the device exceeds a set speed limit.
  • SOS Alarm: Triggered by pressing the SOS button (if available on the model).
  • Moving Alarm: Alerts when the device starts moving after being stationary.

For enabling the Vibration Alarm, refer to Video 1 fra 3 til 28. For general notification settings, see 4 til 15.

4.5 GPS Work Mode Settings

You can configure the GPS working mode to balance tracking frequency and battery consumption. Higher frequency provides more accurate historical routes but consumes battery faster.

  • Sanntidsmodus: Updates location frequently (e.g., every 30 seconds).
  • Strømsparingsmodus: Updates less frequently (e.g., every hour).
  • Standby-modus: Updates even less frequently (e.g., every 24 hours).
  • Custom Upload Interval: Allows you to set a specific interval (e.g., 10-3600 seconds).

To set the GPS working mode, refer to Video 1 fra 3 til 09.

5. Vedlikehold

5.1 Lading av batteriet

Use the provided USB cable to charge the device. Connect the cable to the tracker and a standard 5V-1A USB power adapter. A full charge typically provides 24-48 hours of active use or up to 200 hours in standby mode.

5.2 Generell pleie

  • Vanntett: The device is designed to be waterproof, but avoid prolonged submersion or exposure to high-pressure water jets.
  • Magnetisk feste: The strong magnet allows for convenient installation on metal surfaces. Ensure the device is securely attached to prevent accidental detachment.

  • Temperatur: Operate and store the device within recommended temperature ranges to ensure optimal battery life and performance.
  • Rengjøring: Rengjør enheten med en myk, tørr klut. Unngå bruk av sterke kjemikalier eller slipende materialer.

6. Feilsøking

6.1 Device Not Online / No Location Data

  • Sjekk SIM-kortet: Ensure the Nano SIM card is correctly inserted, has an active data plan, and its PIN code is disabled.
  • APN-konfigurasjon: The Access Point Name (APN) must be correctly configured for your SIM card's network provider.
  • To find your SIM card's APN:

    1. Search online for your SIM card provider's APN settings.
    2. Insert the SIM card into a mobile phone and find the APN settings in the phone's network settings.

    To set the APN via SMS, send the command: apn123456 [APN Name] (f.eks. apn123456 mobile.vodafone.it for Vodafone Italy). Replace "123456" with your device's password if changed from default. After receiving an "apn ok" reply, remove and reinsert the SIM card to restart the device.

    Referer til Video 1 fra 4 til 24 for a visual guide on APN setting via SMS.

  • Nettverksdekning: Ensure the device is in an area with good 4G network coverage.
  • Batterinivå: A low battery can affect connectivity. Charge the device fully.

6.2 Inaccurate Location

  • GPS-signal: Sørg for at enheten har en klar view of the sky for optimal GPS signal reception. Indoor or underground locations may result in LBS (Location Based Service) tracking, which is less precise.
  • Arbeidsmodus: Check the GPS work mode settings in the app. Real-time mode provides the most frequent and accurate updates.

6.3 Kort batterilevetid

  • Sporingsfrekvens: High tracking frequency (e.g., 30-second updates) consumes more battery. Adjust the GPS work mode to a longer interval (e.g., power saving or standby mode) to extend battery life.
  • Nettverkssignal: Poor network signal can cause the device to consume more power searching for a connection.
  • Lader: Sørg for at enheten er fulladet før bruk.
