PLACEMENT & SECURITY OF THE TRACKER

The tracker has built-in magnets to assist with attaching the tracker to a vehicle, trailer, equipment or asset. The tracker must have direct ‘line of sight’ to the GPS satellites. It must not be placed under or surrounded by metal or electronic equipment which can block GPS and mobile reception.
If GPS reception is obscured, tracking data may not be collected or be inaccurate.
We strongly recommend experimentation in different placements before deciding on a long term location.
Ideally, the tracker should be concealed for its security.
Remember, you will need access to the tracker for recharging purposes.
