The device has a motion detector. As soon as movement is detected, it attempts to get the GPS position and send it through the
Sigfox network (minimum every 10 minutes). The position and the path are then transmitted to the Portwest GPS Locator V1 website
https://connect.portwest.com
.
You have to wear the locator on you to keep emitting real-time location points and to be followed.
What data is transmitted through Sigfox:
o
Current position and one intermediary position through Sigfox.
o
Current altitude through Sigfox.
o
Current speed through Sigfox.
Subscription
Your device is delivered with a one-year Sigfox and Portwest GPS Locator V1 website subscription included. Subscription renewal will
be done on the Portwest GPS Locator V1 website at the end of the subscription period.
GPS
When moving, the GPS works at regular intervals of 10 minutes. Every time the device has to acquire a GPS position, the green or red
LED will blink once to indicated success of failure. You will see the green and red LED appear in regular intervals, the time to acquire a
signal can vary depending on the environment.

Important advice
:
GPS is a sensitive technology. Indoor GPS does not
work. When it has not been used outside for more
than 4 hours, the fi rst acquisition will take longer.
You should do it without moving because when
moving it will take even longer. Before going out,
you should stay still outside for 5 minutes.
