Select the tracker on the trackimo homepage or in your app.
Click on “Barriers”.
Click on the “Create a new barrier” button.
A pink rectangular fence will be created around your device’s current location (or in the center of the map).
− You can also enter an address to position a fence.
− You can choose a pre-defined size.
− You can change the size by making the sides of the rectangle bigger or smaller, or by moving the rectangle.
Once your fence has been created, you can give your geofence a name and click on “Save”.
Now you can enter additional telephone numbers (for SMS notifications) or e-mail addresses for notifications.

Speed alert
You will receive a notification as soon as the tracker moves faster than the speed pre-defined by you.

Select the tracker on the trackimo homepage or in your app.
Go to “Settings”.
Enter a speed.
Add a contact where required.
Click on “Save”.

Movement alert
You will receive a notification as soon as the tracker starts to move.

Select the tracker on the trackimo homepage or in your app.
Go to “Settings”.
Set the movement alert function to “On”.
Add a contact where required.
Click on “Save”.

Low battery alert
You will receive a notification when the tracker battery level is low.

Select the tracker on the trackimo homepage or in your app.
Go to “Settings”.
Set the “Low battery alert” function to “On”.
Add a contact where required.
Click on “Save”.

Light sensor
The tracker has a light sensor. It registers strong light changes such as an abrupt change of light from dark to bright. If such a change of light is registered, the tracker will automatically send a notification to your registered e-mail address or, if you have specified a telephone number, a text message will be sent to this number.
GPS signal and reception
The tracker uses GPS (Global Positioning System) technology to calculate its current location. It receives signals from GPS satellites in space.
This GPS signal can be received when the device is used outdoors or in a vehicle.
TheGPSsignalisblocked, however, when the tracker is located inside a building or under a concrete roof. The signal may be blocked or diverted even if the tracker is placed near a window. In such cases, the device will use an alternative method to calculate its position. The position is determined through the identification of a nearby WiFi router or mobile communications antenna. This is less precise than GPS data, and maybe hundreds of meters from the tracker. If the device is using a cell-based location (also known as a “GSM-based location”), you will be able to tell by a semi-transparent blue circle over the location.
