Operating Modes 

Shipping Mode 

When the device is in shipping mode, all radios are turned off, including Bluetooth. In this mode, the 

Device will not transmit or receive any position reports or messages. This is the equivalent of ‘Flight 

Mode’ and suitable for transport. 

You can activate the unit by applying power to the cable. A few seconds after activation, the unit will 

beep quickly, and will then be activated and you should be able to connect to the device to configure 

using the 

app.

Activated 

When turned on the device will automatically send position reports and messages as per its current 

settings. 

There is an LED indicator on the bottom of the unit. The LED has the following indicator 

modes: 

!!

• Intermittent green flash - running on external power 

• Intermittent red flash - running on battery

• Red/Green alternating - booting up or updating firmware

• Off - in shipping mode, stealth mode, or battery has run out and no external power

Tracking Options 

Status on/off 

Choosing this option allows you to turn the automatic position reporting on or off. When turned on, 

the device will automatically obtain a GPS fix and transmit it at a set frequency (see below). 

!

Report Frequency 

!

Using this option the frequency of automatic position reporting can be viewed and set. Options 

range from ‘Continuous’ which will obtain and send reports as quickly as possible, to 12-hours, 

allowing for 2 automatic reports per day. There is also a BURST mode. 

!

Burst Settings 

!

Burst mode allows the device to collect many GPS reports, in order to get more accurate tracking 

information, but to send them as a batch in order to keep airtime costs down. For example, the device 

can collect a GPS fix every 5 seconds, and then transmit those positions once per minute.
