Preliminary Procedures
Battery Life
The tracker battery life changes according to the environment conditions and its activity. The following table
shows the battery life in several conditions.
STATUS TIME
Standby mode with motion sensor active. ~10 days
Tracking SMS every minute (GPS always on). ~9 hours
Tracking SMS every 5 minutes (GPS with hotstart). ~4 days
Continuous tracking. ~2 hours
Data connection mode, with GPS system continuously active. ~2 hours
Position data recording every minute. ~37 hours
Tracker not in use. ~2 days
Tracker in communication on GSM network. ~4 hours
The data in the table refers to the new battery provided with the tracker, when totally charged. This data is
an indication and could be highly infl uenced both by the GSM signal, because it affects the time required for
network connection, and GPS signal, because it affects the time required for position fi xing.
NOTE: When the battery is almost discharged, the tracker emits an acoustic warning every
minute. When the battery is completely discharged, the tracker automatically switches off.
NOTE: If the battery discharges, no acoustic warning is emitted and the programmed functions
(e.g. the tracking SMS sending) will not be available.
