Installation
You can install the SentinelPoint yourself, or contact an authorised installer as listed on our website
or recommended by the dealer. To install the SentinelPoint you will need:
o
A 2.0mm flathead screwdriver
o
A SIM card
o
Double sided tape or Velcro
To insert the SIM, first unscrew and remove the lid of the device. Lift the SIM holder and slide the SIM
card in notched edge first, then press the SIM holder back down to lock the SIM in place.
Step one – inserting the SIM
Using the battery lead attached to the SentinelPoint, attach the red wire to the positive side of the
vehicle battery and the black wire to the negative side. When the cable is correctly attached a green
LED should start to flash, please refer to the LED code table on the following page for information
about what the flashing code means.
Step two – attaching the battery
To attach the SentinelPoint to your vehicle you will need the double sided tape or Velcro. Attach the
device to a non-metallic surface with the side with the orange sticker on facing up. Do not install the
device underneath a metal covering, as this hinders the GSM and GPS signal and may impair the
function of your device.
On an outboard engine we recommend that you install the SentinelPoint under the casing using tape,
making sure that you can safely access the device if need be. On a small boat or jet ski we
recommend installing the SentinelPoint near the dashboard alongside other electronics for ease of
access.
