Turning on your device
Before activating your device on the web, you must charge the device and turn it on.
Connect the USB cable to the USB lot in the side of the device, and connect it to any
standard phone charger or to the USB slot of a computer. The initial charging time
should be at least 8 hours. Then, you have to turn it on. The device usually turns itself
on when connected directly to power. So first, check if the device it already turned on:
just briefly click any of the buttons and see it any light comes on. If no light comes on,
the device is off. In that case, turn it on by pressing and holding down the small black
round on/off button for at least 5 seconds. You will see that the light turns on for a
moment and then goes off - now the device is on.
The next step is to let the device receive the initial GPS position. For this, you just
need to take it outside where it can be exposed to the sky - it should be out for at least
15 minutes, so it can receive the initial signal from the GPS satellites and compute its
initial location. You can put it out on a porch, on a car's dashboard or just put it in
your pocket or purse when you go outside.
Activating your device
Now you are ready to activate your device! Just log in to
http://app.trackimo.com
,
click the "Activate Device" button, and follow the simple instructions you will see.
You will be asked to enter your device ID - this is the number that is printed both on
the silver label below the box, and inside the device below the battery. After you enter
the number and press "Next" the system will try to connect to the device over the
cellular network. This may take about a minute, and sometimes it may take more than
one time to make the connection, so if you get a message that the device still cannot
be reached - don't worry, just click "back", wait a couple of minutes and try again.
Then you will be asked for a few more details to better identify your device, and you
are good to go!
How to use the SOS button?
The SOS button is used to alert as many people as you need of some problem or
distress.
You should press the button with the red SOS letters and hold it down for at least 3
seconds, and then you will see the blur lights blinking and will hear a beep.
This will cause the SOS alert to be sent, with the exact location of where it was
pressed.
