Troubleshooting and Safety info

Troubleshooting

Trouble Possible Reason Solution
Messages can’t be reported to the backend server by the Mobile network. APN
is wrong. Some APNs can not visit the Internet directly. Ask the network

operator for the right APN.
The IP address or port of the backend server is wrong.| Make sure the IP address for the backend server is an identified address on the internet.
Unable to power off Podl.| The function of the power key was disabled by AT+GTFKS.| Enable the function of the power key by AT+GTFKS.
The battery can not be charged| The battery has not been used for a too long time and has been locked.| Use an external power source with a 3.65V DC power supply to activate the battery or apply for after-sale help.
Podl can’t fix GPS successfully.| The GPS signal is weak.| Please move Podl to a place with an open sky.
It is better to let the top surface face the sky. (The same surface with indication LED)
