We recommend that after you start your device for the first time you move it
in an open space (for example during a walk or a short car ride). This can
speed up the connection process, meaning that your device will connect to the

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. For some devices,
the transmission interval is higher or can be changed in the FINDER portal.
What is the 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.

1.13 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:
PAJ UG (haftungsbeschränkt) Hohe Straße 61 51570 Windeck Germany E-Mail: info
@paj-gps.de
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.
22
1.14 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 is responsible 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
