Status Indicators 

Internally the device has three status indicators each indicator has 2 or 3 different colored LEDs 
closed grouped together.  
 

Left indicator: Cellular 
status 

Middle indicator: Power 
supply status 

Right indicator: GPS status 

The left indicator reflects 
the GSM status and also, 
whether the device is 
switched on. 
 

 

 
When the LED is off, the 
device is switched off. 

The middle indicator reflects the 
status of the integrated battery 
as well as of the DOTA 
download. 
 

 

 
The middle LED being off does 
NOT mean that the device is 
switched off. It only indicates 
that the device is not connected 
to external power supply. 
 

The right indicator reflects 
GPS reception as well as the 
device reset status. 
 

 

 
Off: GPS is not switched on 

 

 

 

 
Permanently on: GSM is 
switched on, but no GSM 
network is available. 
Blinking once: the device is 
logged into the GSM 
network. 
Blinking twice: TCP/IP 
connection to the server 
has been established 
Permanently on: GSM is 
switched on, but no GSM 
network is available. 

 

 

 
Permanently on: the device has 
external power supply and the 
battery is fully charged. 

 

 

 
2 times blinking: 2D- Fix (no 
valid height and the position 
may be imprecise 
3 times blinking: 3D (GPS 
data are complete 
 

 

 

 
Permanently on: the battery is 
currently charging. 
The middle indicator works 
identically if the device is in 
sleep mode; just the left and the 
right indicators are off. 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 
1 time blinking: position 
acquisition not possible
