GPS fix than antennas left in the open. Sometimes a slight
adjustment in antenna location can make a big difference in the
reporting quality. A location that tends to provide good
reporting is directly underneath the dash cover, provided that
there is no metal between the antenna and the windshield. If
the antenna is placed underneath a large piece of metal (in the
trunk, under the hood, underneath the vehicle, etc.) you will
most likely not get a good GPS Fix from the device.
Don’t
Don’t use your SageTracker in prohibited areas that restrict
wireless or two-way radio usage. Using your SageTracker in
prohibited areas may be illegal and/or dangerous. These areas
can include hospitals, blasting sites, and in or near aircraft.
Don’t place your SageTracker over the airbag in the vehicle. If
the airbag deploys, this could cause significant injury.
Don’t block the device with metal. SageTracker will not get a
satellite fix or be able to report the location when the GPS
signal is blocked by a metal obstruction.
Yes, it is OK to…
Place the device inside a plastic covering to protect it, or attach
the device with duct tape or other industrial quality adhesive.
Things to Remember
SageTracker needs to “see” the GPS satellites in order to report
the location. Remember that concealed devices will provide
fewer fixes and a longer reporting interval than devices left in
the open.
The device needs to have cellular coverage in order to send
reports. If the device travels to a rural area with no cell
coverage, it will not be able to report.

Areas that are mountainous heavily forested or streets with

FAQs
Where can I use SageTracker?
Vehicles:
SageTracker works well in a variety of vehicles
including boats, trailers, RVs and automobiles. Materials that do
not impede SageTracker’s visibility (provided they are relatively
thin) include fiberglass, plastics, most composite materials, and
glass. Metal will reduce the device’s ability to find its location.
