Welcome
We hope that you enjoy your new SageTracker, and that you
find it both practical and easy to use. SageTracker uses GPS
(Global Positioning System) to track its location and GSM
cellular service to send telemetry to the web-based tracking
server. Your report frequency will depend upon the service
option you have chosen. Your personal web account may be
accessed at www.worldtrackingsolutions.com and holds your
tracking maps, reports, and other information for 120 days.
Getting Started
Your SageTracker was shipped ready to use. Simply power on
the unit using the button on the bottom of the right side. If you
are in an area with good visibility to the sky, the GPS LED
should become solid within 2 minutes. The other LEDs may
blink according to the chart below:

We recommend you make a test run by placing the device
directly on the dash of your vehicle. This insures that the unit
has excellent visibility to the GPS tracking satellites during the
- 4 -
initial synchronization process. Take a test drive, making sure
you are moving for enough time to gather several reports.
Once you have made your test run, you are ready to view your
reports online. Go to www.worldtrackingsolutions.com using an
Internet Explorer web browser. Click on the “Login” button,
and then check to be sure that all pop up blockers have been
disabled for the tracking site. The maps and data tables are
generated using pop-up windows and will not display if you
have not disabled all pop-up blockers.
Once you have disabled the pop-up blockers, click on the
picture of your device and use the username and password
included to sign onto your account. The starting screen will
show the last location of the vehicle. To see your track history,
select “Track History” tab at the top of the screen. This will
bring up the map and data report for your test run.
Initial Installation
GPS Signal Reception
GPS satellite signals are transmitted to varying degrees through
glass, fiberglass, plastics, and many other fabrics and
materials.
SageTracker
cannot
“see”
through
metal.
SageTracker generally works well when placed in a glove
compartment, under the dash, or passenger seat of a vehicle
but it will not be able to obtain a new location fix if placed in
the trunk or under the hood.
GSM Cellular Service Reporting
SageTracker uses the GSM cell phone network to send its
reports to the tracking system, so its ability to connect to the
internet is limited by the coverage of this network. Coverage in
populated areas is generally very good, but can be limited in
remote regions.
