1.8 Standby mode and location update
By default, our devices send their position to the FINDER portal every 30 seconds, so you can always see the current location there.
Standby mode
As soon as the FINDER is no longer moved, standby mode is activated after a few minutes to save power. This suspends the update of the location for the duration of the standstill of the unit. In the FINDER portal, the standby mode is displayed as follows:

Nevertheless, the unit naturally remains on standby and still sends alarm messages. As long as the FINDER is in standby mode, only the data (time, battery status, etc.) of the last position before standby mode is displayed on the portal, as the position does not change during standby.
Online mode
At the latest, when the FINDER is moved again, the device automatically switches to active and sends its position to the portal again every 30 seconds.

Location update in standby mode
If the FINDER is in standby mode for a longer period of time, the unit will still send a new position to the portal at least every 24 – 26 hours.

The intended use is to employ the GPS tracker only as described in this manual to locate an object or a living being. Please bear in mind that it is a criminal offence to monitor third parties using a GPS tracker without their consent.

A faulty electrical installation or a mains voltage that is too high can lead to an electric shock.

Before use, make sure that the mains voltage of the socket corresponds with the information on the type plate.
To be able to disconnect the charging cable from the mains as quickly as possible in the event of a failure, connect the power supply unit where it is easily accessible.
If you notice any visible damage to your GPS tracker or charging cable, do not use it.
Use only the original parts supplied to charge the GPS tracker. If the charging cable is damaged, replace it only with original accessories from the manufacturer.
Never place the GPS tracker near an open fire or hot surfaces.
The GPS tracker is not protected against humidity and water. Please use and store it only in a dry environment.
The charging cable should only be used indoors. Keep it away from humidity and do not kink it.

Below you will find information and instructions on how to use the battery:

The GPS tracker runs by a lithium ions battery. It is not exchangeable and must not be removed or opened.
Make sure that the GPS tracker (also when charging the battery) is kept away from heat sources and high temperatures, such as direct sunlight in a vehicle. Disregard of this instruction may result in destruction of the battery and overheating, explosion and
fire.
Only use the original accessories for the charging process. If the battery is charged otherwise, this may result in overheating, explosion or fire.
Do not burn or pierce the GPS tracker. Protect it from mechanical damage.
If a child swallows the battery, seek medical aid immediately!
Removing or replacing the battery:
Contact our support if the battery needs to be removed or replaced.
Send the machine to us to remove or replace the battery.
For safety reasons, do not attempt to remove the battery. Failure to remove the battery properly may result in damage to the battery and unit, personal injury and/or compromise the safety of the unit.
PAJ GPS shall not be liable for any damage or loss (whether in contract or tort, including negligence) arising from your failure to comply with these warnings and instructions.

WARNING! RISK OF CHEMICAL BURNS!

Electromagnetic compatibility
Please observe all rules and prohibitions and switch off the GPS tracker immediately in danger areas and if it might cause interference. Furthermore, it should not be used in the vicinity of, for example, medical equipment, fuels and chemicals, or in blasting areas. With mobile devices, malfunction due to interference may occur and affect performance. Transformers and very strong magnetic fields must be avoided. Otherwise there may be deviations in the transmission.
NOTE! Failure to observe these recommendations may result in malfunctions or damage to the GPS tracker.

Cleaning

WARNING! RISK OF DAMAGE!
Below you will find information and instructions on how to clean the GPS tracker:

Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or brushes for cleaning. Do not clean the GPS tracker with metallic cleaning objects (e.g. knife, metal sponge).
This may damage the surface.
Never put the GPS tracker in water, in a dishwasher (or the like) and do not use a steam cleaner.

Correct cleaning:

The surface may be wiped clean with a slightly damped cloth.
The GPS tracker should then be wiped dry completely.

Meaning of the battery symbols
** Batteries are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out dustbin (see illustration).
This symbol indicates that batteries must not be disposed of in household waste.
Batteries containing more than 0.0005% mercury by mass, more than 0.002% cadmium by mass or more than 0.004% lead by mass are also marked with the chemical name of the pollutant below the dustbin symbol. The abbreviation „Cd“ stands for cadmium, „Pb“ for lead and „Hg“ for mercury.
1.15 Disposal of electric devices**
The Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG) contains a large number of requirements for the handling of electrical and electronic equipment. The most important ones are summarised here:

Separate collection of WEEE
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment that has become waste is referred to as WEEE. Owners of WEEE must dispose of it separately from unsorted local waste.
In particular, WEEE does not belong in household waste, but in special collection and return systems.
Batteries and accumulators
As a rule, owners of WEEE must separate spent batteries and accumulators that are not enclosed in the WEEE before handing them over at a collection point.
This does not apply if the WEEE is handed over to public waste management authorities and separated from other WEEE there for the purpose of preparation for reuse.
Options for returning old appliances (WEEE)
Owners of WEEE from private households can hand it in to public waste management authorities or at the collection points set up by manufacturers or distributors as defined by the ElektroG. An online directory of collection and collection points can be found here: https://www.ear-system.de/ear- verzeichnis/sammel-und-ruecknahmestellen.jsf
Data protection
Old equipment often contains sensitive personal data. This applies in particular to information and telecommunication technology devices such as computers and smartphones.
For your own sake, please note that each end-user is responsible for deleting the data on the old equipment to be disposed of.
Meaning of the „crossed-out dustbin“ symbol The symbol of a crossed-out dustbin regularly displayed on electrical and electronic equipment indicates that the respective device must be separated from unsorted local waste at the end of its service life.
Manufacturer registration number
As a manufacturer, within the meaning of the ElektroG, we are registered with the responsible foundation Elektro-Altgeräte Register (Benno-Strauß-Str. 1, 90763 Fürth) under the following registration number: DE33887550
