OPERATION
3.2. LOCKING I LOCK IT GPS
I LOCK IT GPS offers several locking options:
Locking I LOCK IT GPS is only possible when the bike is not in motion.
If an attempt is made to lock I LOCK IT GPS while riding, the button will
flash red, an acoustic warning tone will sound and no locking process will
take place.
AUTOMATIC LOCKING If automatic locking is enabled in the I LOCK IT settings, I
LOCK IT GPS will lock up as soon as you move away from your bike. The distance
for automatic locking can be configured in the I LOCK IT app.
Before closing, I LOCK IT GPS will emit an audible tone to indicate the
following lock. Upon successful completion, the I LOCK IT GPS button will
illuminate red for 5 seconds and your bike will be secured.
The I LOCK IT app must be active on your smartphone in the background and
connected to your I LOCK IT GPS.
OPERATION
29
· If you have previously opened your I LOCK IT GPS using the I LOCK IT app,
the automatic locking function is only active if you were in the immediate
vicinity of your I LOCK IT GPS after opening it.
· If the Bluetooth connection to your open I LOCK IT GPS gets lost, an
acoustic warning tone will sound as soon as your bike stops. An automatic
closing procedure is not carried out.
· The distance is determined by the signal strength between I LOCK IT GPS and
your smartphone. This signal strength changes depending on the storage of your
smartphone. For example, it may lock later when you hold your smartphone in
your hand and earlier when you carry it in your pocket.
· While riding, I LOCK IT GPS intelligently calculates the signal strength to
prevent locking even in situations when the bike is stationary, such as at
traffic lights. Due to this calculation, the actual distance at which I LOCK
IT GPS closes, can vary.
· However, if a closing process takes place while the phone is stationary, the
distance for automatic closing should be increased or the phone should be
stored elsewhere while riding. If this does not help, then the recommendation
is to disable automatic locking.
30
OPERATION
LOCKING BY BUTTON
In addition to automatic closing, I LOCK IT GPS can also be closed by pressing
a button. To do this, press and hold the I LOCK IT GPS button until it turns
red and then release it.
Before closing, I LOCK IT GPS will emit an audible tone to indicate that it is
about to close. After successful locking, the button lights up red.
The locking tone can be deactivated in the settings menu of the I LOCK IT App.
LOCKING BY SMARTPHONE Another option is to close your I LOCK IT GPS using the
I LOCK IT app.
To do this, click the “Lock now” button on the home screen or click directly
on the lock graphic. Before closing the I LOCK IT GPS will emit an audible
tone to indicate that the locking bolt is about to be closed.
The locking tone can be set in the settings menu of the I LOCK IT app and it
can be deactivated.
OPERATION
31
As soon as I LOCK IT GPS is closed, the text changes to “Unlock now”, the I
LOCK IT GPS button lights up red for 5 seconds and your bike is secured.
If there is no Bluetooth connection between the smartphone and I LOCK IT GPS,
the Button “Unlock now” is not displayed.
3.3. SMART ANTI-THEFT ALARM If the theft alarm is activated in the I LOCK IT
settings and your I LOCK IT GPS is locked, I LOCK IT GPS will sound an audible
alarm when your bike is lifted and moved.
The smart alarm analyzes the strength and duration of the movement and uses a
short pre-alarm to signal that the anti-theft alarm is activated. If the
unauthorized movement of the bicycle continues, a 30-second alarm tone is
triggered.
The pre-alarm can be activated in the I LOCK IT app.
32
OPERATION
If your bike continues to be moved after the alarm has expired, a new alarm
tone is triggered for 30 seconds.
While the acoustic alarm is active, I LOCK IT GPS cannot be opened.
As soon as the alarm is triggered, you will receive a message directly on your
smartphone or via e-mail.
If you are within Bluetooth range of your I LOCK IT GPS, you can deactivate
the acoustic alarm before 30 seconds by pressing the “All OK” button.
You will only receive an alarm message on your smartphone or via e-mail if I
LOCK IT GPS is either connected to your Smartphone via Bluetooth or if
sufficient mobile phone reception is available.
The silent alarm feature allows you to disable the audible alarm on I LOCK IT
GPS while the alarm notification continues to be sent to your smartphone in
the event of movement.
OPERATION
33
3.4. GPS TRACKING
The GPS tracking functionality can only be used when the I LOCK IT GPS is
locked and the alarm system is activated (acoustic or silent alarm).
If a theft alarm is triggered on your bike, I LOCK IT automatically activates
the GPS tracking functionality.
With the I LOCK IT app you can now track the current location of your I LOCK
IT GPS.
As soon as your bike is not moved for a longer period of time, I LOCK IT GPS
deactivates the GPS functionality again to save energy. If your bike is moved
again, the GPS tracking will be activated again.
· The GPS tracking functionality will only be activated if you are not within
Bluetooth range when the alarm is triggered.
· The transmission of location data is only possible if sufficient mobile
phone reception is available.
34
OPERATION
· After activating the GPS Tracking function, it can take up to several
minutes to locate the current position via GPS. GPS reception in buildings is
usually not possible.
· The GPS localization has a high energy consumption. We recommend charging
your I LOCK IT GPS regularly, even if the battery has not yet reached a
critical level.
ACOUSTIC SIGNAL FUNCTION
With the acoustic signal function you can trigger a short tone on your I LOCK
IT GPS via the I LOCK IT app. This will help you find your I LOCK IT GPS when
you are nearby.
To use the acoustic signal function, your I LOCK IT GPS must be within
Bluetooth range and the I LOCK IT App must be connected to your I LOCK IT GPS.
OPERATION
35
PROXIMITY POSITIONING FUNCTION
The GPS accuracy can deviate several meters from the real location of your
bike depending on the environmental situation. In these situations, the
proximity positioning function can help you locate your bike.
Once your I LOCK IT GPS is within Bluetooth range, the proximity positioning
screen in the I LOCK IT app will show you whether you are currently
approaching your bike or heading in the opposite direction.
The stronger the Bluetooth signal, the closer your bike with I LOCK IT GPS is.
36
OPERATION
3.5. SHARE ACCESS
To lend your I LOCK IT GPS-equipped bike to friends or family, you can create
and share a color code in the I LOCK IT app. This color code allows you to
open I LOCK IT GPS without having to install the I LOCK IT app on another
smartphone.
To do so, switch to the settings menu in the I LOCK IT App. Under the sub-item
“Share” you can generate, share, change and deactivate a color code. If the
color code is changed, the last displayed color code is automatically
deactivated.
· To create a color code, your I LOCK IT app must be connected to your I LOCK
IT GPS.
· Your personal color code, which you set during initial setup, should not be
shared. This personal color code provides permanent access to your I LOCK IT
GPS.
· If several people are using your bike permanently, it makes sense to teach
additional smartphones to your I LOCK IT GPS.
OPERATION
37
