  3. Connect ignition wire to detect driving activity.

  5. Ensure there is no metal blocking the signal.                                                                        
  6. Secure the tracker using cable ties or double-sided sponge tape.                                                                             
  7. Turn on power and check LED indicator lights (Power, GSM, GPS).

Installation Precautions

  • Install the device in a waterproof and dry location inside the vehicle.                                                                                 
  • Do not install near strong magnetic fields or heavy shielding metal.                                                                                                    
  • Always insert the SIM card before connecting power.
