How Do I Charge My Asset Tracker?

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for properly charging your GL 501/521 Asset Tracker using the wireless charging equipment.

Step-by-Step Charging Instructions

1. Assemble the charging equipment

   • Place the charging pad into the tray
   • The blank side of the pad should face up
   • The side with writing and rubber feet should face down
     
     

2. Connect power

   • Insert the charging cable through either opening in the tray
   • Plug the cable into the charging pad
   • Connect the power adapter to an electrical outlet
     
     

3. Verify that the charging pad is ready

   • When first connected to power, the pad will display:
     • A flash of red light
     • A flash of green light
     • Then a solid green light
   • The solid green light indicates the pad is powered and ready for use
     
     

4. Place Asset Tracker on charging pad

   • Position the Asset Tracker centered on the charging pad
   • When properly positioned, the pad's light will change from solid green to pulsing red
   • The Asset Tracker's blue and green lights will begin flashing in tandem (simultaneously) approximately once per second
     
     

5. Monitor charging status

   • Charging in progress:
     • Asset Tracker: Both blue and green lights flash together at the same time, approximately once per second
     • Charging pad: Displays a pulsing/blinking red light
   • Charging complete:
     • Asset Tracker: Both blue and green lights illuminate solid (no flashing)
     • Charging pad: Continues to display a pulsing red light until the device is removed
       
       

6. Remove from charging pad

   • When charging is complete, lift the Asset Tracker off the pad
   • The charging pad light will return to solid green, indicating it's ready for the next use
     
     

Important Notes

• The charging pad's pulsing red light will continue even after the tracker is fully charged
• If no lights appear on the Asset Tracker when placed on the charging pad, reposition it to ensure proper alignment
• The Asset Tracker lights will only activate during charging - during normal operation, no lights are displayed
• If you encounter charging issues, ensure the tracker is properly centered on the charging pad
