XT-300 USER GUIDE

I just activated my service. Why doesn’t my device show 

on the map?

The  device  cannot  show  its  location  on  the  map  until 
after it makes its first transmission. Take the device for a 
drive and it should immediately begin tracking.

My map screen shows where the device was yesterday. 

Today it’s in a completely different place, but the map 
still shows the old location. Are the satellites down? 

The  satellites  don’t  go  down.  The  problem  is  that  the 
device has not transmitted its location to the server since 
the last location shown on the map. 

Either (A) the device does not have power, (B) it doesn’t 
have a view of the sky (and therefore cannot calculate its 
location), or (C) the device is in an area with no wireless 
data service, and therefore cannot transmit its location.
We recommend a physical inspection of the device. It’s 
possible the SIM door (the tab on the right side of the 
device  which  covers  the  SIM  card)  may  be  open,  the 
device  may  be  turned  off,  or  the  GPS  receiver  may  be 
turned off on the device.

My device/devices were moving on the map at 60mph 

and suddenly they stopped moving in the middle of the 
highway. Is your system down?

Our system has approximately 99.99% uptime, so it’s far 
more likely your browser has disconnected from (lost its 
socket connection to) our server. 

Users of wireless networks are more likely to experience 
this problem than users on physical wired connections. 

Simply  log  back  into  the  website  to  reconnect  to  our 
server and see current locations of your vehicles.

I got onto Live Chat Support at 4am and nobody  
answered. 

Live Chat is staffed from 7am to 7pm Monday through 
Friday, and 9am to 4pm on Saturdays. Our intent here is to 
fully support business hours throughout the continental 
US, opening at 8am New York time and closing at 5pm 
California time.

As we continue to grow, we may well evolve into a 24x7 
technical support schedule. At this time, however, tech 
support is only staffed from 7am to 7pm.

My  SMS  alerts  and/or  email  alerts  aren’t  coming 
through. What’s wrong with the system?

There  are  several  possible  reasons  for  this  problem. 
Either (A) you did not check the box in front of the SMS 
entry on the Alert Editor, (B) you have a 1 in front of your 
number (14057491105) when the 1 is not supported by 
your wireless carrier, (C) you do NOT have a 1 in front 
of your number and the carrier requires it, (D) the SMS 
text message was caught by a spam filter at your local 
wireless  carrier  (they  decided  it  was  spam),  or  (E)  the 
wireless carrier simply failed to deliver the message.

Wireless carriers do not guarantee delivery of SMS text 
messages. We’ve seen cases where some messages were 
delivered  in  20  seconds,  while  others  were  delivered 
days later.

To confirm Alert notifications are being sent properly, set 
up an email alert (and make sure the email isn’t going 
into your spam filter).

When  I  go  into  Directions  &  Routing,  I  don’t  get  the 
directions.

Your browser is disabling pop-ups. Enable pop-ups (either 
once, or for the entire site) and a separate browser will 
appear  with  turn-by-turn  driving  directions  when  you
