Quickstart
Before using the Kilo
Ensure the IMEI of your device is activated through your chosen Iridium
provider and intended message recipients are added to its account ahead
of deployment.
Power-Up
Battery Installation
The Kilo automatically turns on once all batteries are installed. The device must be
turned off via magnet or battery removal.
Magnet
Swipe the magnet slowly along the top of the Kilo’s cylindrical area
vertically until the flashing
GREEN LED
on the top of the device remains
solid. The LEDs will flash again while the device completes power-up.
Confirm Transmission
Turn the device on and place it outside in view of as much of the
sky as possible.
The unit will transmit a power-up message, and transmit one GPS
fix every 10 minutes at default settings within 5 minutes of power-
up for one hour.
Confirm that these messages are being received by your email
and/or XeosOnline.
Operation
When deploying the unit, power it up by swiping the magnet.
Once the unit is confirmed to be on, it is ready to be deployed.
Turn the Kilo OFF using the same magnet method as turning ON, with the
RED LED
in
place of the green.
