XT-300 USER GUIDE

8

Imagine, for a moment, that you’re a homebuilder, HVAC 
installation contractor, electrical or plumbing contractor. 
You want to know what time your guys are arriving on 
the job site each morning…. and what time they leave 
in the afternoon. With the Zone Alert feature of the US 
Fleet Tracking system, you can easily define an unlimited 
number  of  “Alert  Zones”  (also  known  as  “geo-fences”) 
and the system will automatically notify you – by e-mail 
or SMS text message (or both) – any time one of your 
vehicles  enters  or  exits  the  zones  you  define.  Defining 
Alert Zones couldn’t be easier. First, zoom in on the area 
in  which  you  want  to  create  a  zone  notification.  From 
here, it’s as simple as clicking the Alert System tab on the 
Control  Panel  and  selecting  the  option  to  “Show  Alert 
Editor”.  A  window  similar  to  that  shown  in  Figure  8.1 
(right) will appear at the bottom of your screen. Click the 
“Add Zone Alert” button. In the first field, select a name 
for your zone, and then click and drag the pushpins at 
each corner of the highlighted zone on the screen.

You may roll the wheel on the back of the mouse to zoom 
in or out on the map, or click and drag to move the map 

while the Alert Notification Editor is open. An Alert Zone 
can be as small as a driveway, or as large as an entire 
continent. 

Note: 

While an Alert Zone can be as small as 

a driveway, the functionality of an Alert Zone depends 
on the device making one transmission on one side of 
the box, and a second transmission on the opposite side 
(inside vs. outside). Select the notification method that 
you prefer. 

You can have XtremeTrakGPS send an SMS text message 
to your cell phone, or e-mail to any address you specify. 
When  you’ve  finished  specifying  the  e-mail  address 
or  SMS  address,  simply  click  the  option  to  “Save  Alert 
Zone”, and the zone you’ve created will be added to the 
list at the left. It’s that easy!

It’s possible to draw a zone so small that the device is 
unlikely to make a transmission from within the defined 
area. When in doubt, to increase reliability of Alert Zone 
notifications,  it  is  recommended  that  you  make  the 
box larger than the simple edges of a driveway. A area 
of 100 feet square is the recommended minimum size.
