Q: How does the AssetTrac power itself? 
A: The AssetTrac locator uses four common AA alkaline or rechargeable batteries.  
 
Q: How long do the batteries last? 
A: The AssetTrac’s four AA batteries lifespan is approximately one week reporting four 
times per day (depending on weather conditions).  The life span of the unit is also 
dictated by how it is being used.  While the AssetTrac is set to scheduled reporting the 
battery draw is minimal.  Polling mode is available as an option for the AssetTracs (the 
ability to “call” the unit, have it wake up from sleep mode and transmit).  Polling mode 
will reduce battery life greatly.  
 
Q: What are the AssetTrac locator's power requirements? 
A: The AssetTrac will normally use the default of four common AA batteries.  AssetTrac 
has the ability to monitor the battery level remaining to help the user to know when 
replacement will be needed. 

 

Q: How durable is the AssetTrac locator? 
A: The device consists of a sturdy, water-resistant molded plastic casing with all antennas 
inside the unit.  It is designed to fully support the needs of consumer vehicle, machinery, 
or any other asset monitoring. 
 
Q: How accurately is the device able to report location information? 
A: The AssetTrac locator's position reports are typically accurate within 3-10 meters. 
 
Q: How frequently can the device report position? 
A: The default report frequency is once every 15 minutes and is in time only reporting 
mode. If the unit is in time only mode the lowest recommended time interval is 10 
minutes.  It can also be programmed to send reports based whether it is moved or is being 
polled.  Typical scheduled settings would be 1/month, 1/week, 1/day, 2/day, or 4/day.
