- Once you’re logged into your tracking applications, you’ll need to make sure your tracker is connected by following the steps below.
Step 3 - Charging
- Plug in wall charger, then connect charger to GL300.
- Power LED will flash red while charging, and will turn solid red when fully charged.
- Charge for at least 8 hours, or until the red LED turns solid.
- Disconnect from charged. Red LED will go out.
Step 4 - Placement of the tracker
- The GL300 needs to have as much access to the open sky as possible to retain its connection to the GPS satellites.
- Tracker cannot be surrounded by metal since it will block GPS signals. DO NOT hide the GL300 in metal enclosures. DO NOT place it in the middle of the undercarriage, the engine compartment, wheel wells, metal bumpers, the trunk, glove compartment, or in any closed/lidded compartment. The best position for the device within a vehicle is under the driver or passenger seat.
- When placing the GL300 under a vehicle, position it on a flat part of the frame towards the edge of the vehicle, with the LEDs on the face of the device facing the pavement. When you get low to the ground, you should be able to see the device.
Important Facts
- Standard programming for the GL300 is to update every 3 hours when not moving and once a minute when moving.
- The more frequently the device is set to update, the faster the battery will be depleted. For example, 1-minute updates will result in approximately 2.5 weeks of battery life, while 30-second updates will result in approximately 14 days of battery life.
- When the device is on, the green LED will flash once every 3 seconds.
- When powering off, the red LED will remain on for up to 2 minutes, then power down.
FAQs
Question
GPS platform says the device is in New Jersey (or was last read 1000 days ago). This isn’t accurate.
Answer
Make sure the green light is blinking once every 3 seconds and take it out for a drive that lasts at least 10 minutes.
Question
GPS platform shows a blue screen or the coast of Africa.
Answer
This means the device has not yet locked onto a GPS signal. Take it outside for a 10-minute walk or drive, and its location should update.
Question
What should I do if my device says “last updated X days ago,” even if it’s been in use?
Answer
Verify that the green light is blinking every 3 seconds and the device is
properly positioned. If the problem persists, email support@gethapn.com
Question
My device has been turned on for some time, but it is not updating. Why?
