Connection to vehicle

Please note the following points, before connecting to the vehicle:

  • SIM card already placed in the USB GPS Finder
  • The USB GPS Finder must only be connected to the designated 12V socket in your vehicle
  • No other parts of your vehicle should be damaged by the attachment
  • On most newer vehicles, the power supply to the 12V socket is interrupted as soon as the vehicle has been switched off. This means that the FINDER is no longer supplied with power and switches off after approx. 30 minutes. However, on some vehicle models, it is possible for the vehicle battery to be discharged while the vehicle is stopped in order to supply power to the USB GPS Finder. However, if you regularly drive your vehicle, this should not be a problem if the battery is intact, as it will always be sufficiently recharged by driving. If this is not the case, please check whether your battery has discharge protection before connecting it and upgrade it if necessary.  The FINDERrequires approx. 10-20 mAh in standby mode

NOTE!
Please always observe the manufacturer‘s specifications for your vehicle. Claims for damages for improper connections are excluded.

Installation

  1. Search the 12V socket in your vehicle

Start-up

If the activation was successful, you can start the USB GPS Finder. When connected to the power supply, the FINDER will switch on.
NOTE!
We recommend that after you start your device for the first time you move it in an open space. This can speed up the connection process, meaning that your device will connect to the best available network more quickly. A good network connection is required in order for the device to send and log data in the FINDER Portal.

Use

As soon as your device has been successfully activated, started up and has sent and logged data for the first time, you can place it wherever you choose and use your phone, tablet or PC to start tracking it! You will be able to do this in our App or enter the following link to the desktop version:

Hazards for children and vulnerable people

WARNING! DANGER OF SUFFOCATION!

Please do not let people (including children) with limited physical, sensory or mental abilities use the GPS tracker. It is considered an exception if they have previously received instructions from a person responsible for their safety on how to use the device.
Please be sure that they not play with small parts (e.g. accessories, etc.).
These may be swallowed, leading to suffocation.
NOTE!
Inform your child about the dangers and use of the GPS tracker.

The battery

**WARNING!** EXPLOSION AND FIRE HAZARD!

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!
Batteries that leak due to damage can cause burns if they come into contact with the skin. Therefore, never open the battery. However, if the battery leaks, please wear protective gloves.
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.

Storage
If you are not using the GPS tracker for a lengthy period of time, turn it off. Place the tracker in its original packaging or in a carton of the same size. Protect the tracker from dirt and humidity.
NOTE!
Keep the FINDER away of children’s reach in order to avoid possible damage to property or personal injury.

Disposal of used batteries

The following note is addressed to those who use batteries or products with products with built-in batteries and who will not resell them in the form in which they were supplied to them (end users).
Free recall of used batteries
Batteries must not be disposed of with waste. You are legally obliged to return used batteries so that proper disposal can be guaranteed. You can return used batteries to a local collection point or to your local retailer. As a distributor of batteries, we are also to take back used batteries, although our obligation to take back used is limited to the type which we carry or have carried as batteries in our range. Used batteries of the aforementioned type can therefore either be returned to us with sufficient postage or handed in directly to our dispatch warehouse at the following address free of charge:

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.

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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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

  4. 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 isresponsible for deleting the data on the old equipment to be disposed of.

  5. 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.

  6. 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
