Install Your Tracker

Step 1: Charge the Device

Before installation, fully charge the tracker using the provided USB charging cable.

  • A full charge ensures accurate tracking and optimal battery performance.
  • The indicator light will confirm when charging is complete.

Step 2: Choose a Secure Mounting Location

Select a hidden, secure, and metal surface for installation. Common locations include:

  • Under the vehicle (on the chassis or frame)
  • Inside the trunk or cargo area
  • Under a seat or within a metal compartment

⚠️ Ensure the location:

  • Is metal (for strong magnetic hold)
  • Is not directly exposed to extreme heat or moving parts
  • Does not block GPS signal completely (avoid fully enclosed metal boxes)

Step 3: Mount the Tracker

Place the tracker flat against the metal surface.

  • The built-in high-strength magnet will securely attach the device.
  • Gently tug to confirm it is firmly mounted.

Step 4: Verify Installation

Once installed:

  • Check the app or dashboard to confirm the device is online
  • Move the vehicle slightly to ensure location updates are received

Your magnetic GPS tracker is now installed and ready to use.

Lithium Battery Safety

  • Do not crush, puncture, or disassemble the battery.
  • Do not expose the device to fire, extreme heat, or direct sunlight for extended periods.
  • Use only the provided or approved charging cable and power source.
  • Do not charge the device if it is damaged, wet, or overheated.
  • Stop using the device immediately if the battery swells, leaks, emits odor, or becomes unusually hot.
  • Keep the device away from children and pets.
  • Dispose of the battery according to local regulations—do not throw in household trash.

Troubleshooting

  • No GPS location? Make sure the tracker is placed outdoors or near a window with a clear view of the sky. Thick walls or metal surfaces can block GPS signals.
  • Device won’t power? Check the battery level and recharge the unit fully.
  • Inaccurate location? The tracker may temporarily use cellular (GSM) location. Take the vehicle outside and drive for a few minutes to allow GPS to lock accurately.
