ReadbeforeusingKey/TrackingKeyPro

KNOW HOW GPS WORKS. The Tracking Key/Tracking Key Pro uses GPS to find its location. In order to lock onto the location, the GPS unit must have a direct line of sight to 3 locations in the sky and these locations are changing constantly throughout the day. Make sure that there isnt any metal completely blocking this upward / outward line of sight. GPS signals will go through plastic, glass, rubber, fiberglass, cloth material, or anything else not made of metal. The more metal obstructions that are above and around the GPS sensor the longer it will take to lock onto the location. Make sure you choose a good location to place the unit or antenna for good results. An example of placement for the Tracking Key is the glove box but depending on the design of the vehicle, it may take longer to lock onto the location. If the glove box is very low inside the vehicle with a lot of obstructions, it may not be able to track. In this case you will have to find a better location to place the GPS unit.

TAKE A TEST DRIVE (VERY IMPORTANT). Take the unit for a test run with the GPS unit on your dashboard for at least a few miles. Make sure to wait for the GPS light to start flashing (this will take 1 to 2 minutes after replacing batteries). This is an indication that the unit is working properly. After 2 minutes of inactivity, the unit will go into a very low power mode which will not drain the batteries. Now download your test data by following the Quick Start Guide for Downloading Data.

Please Note: Do not put additional stress on the magnet mount by pulling straight from a metal surface. You should gently tilt the unit by pulling away from the metal near the USB cap which will easily release the magnet from the metal contact. Removing the unit this way will avoid damage.

Unit Placement

Location Effectiveness Comment

On the front or rear dash board

99% Probably one of the best locations to keep your unit if you do not need to conceal the device. You can place the unit in a box of tissues or in something on the dash.

Under the front or rear dash board

95% It is important to remember that the unit must be high enough up in the dash board to make an effective lock. Spotty data will indicate that your placement may need to be adjusted.

In the glove box 80-95% This is good location to keep your unit. Effectiveness may vary from one vehicle to another, but if placed properly it should work in the glove box of almost any vehicle.

Under or on the seat or under vehicle

85% Placement under the seat of vehicle will vary from vehicle to vehicle. If you must place the unit under the seat or the vehicle, make sure you test it for a day or two to make sure it will work in your vehicle in the location you have chosen.



GPSANTENNAPLACEMENTCHARTGPS accuracy is dependent upon proper placement of the Tracking Key. Optimum performance is achieved when the antenna has a view of the satellite without metal obstructions. The signal will usually be sufficient through plastic, fiberglass, carpet, cardboard, or glass. Taking a few extra minutes to locate the best location for the antenna will reward you with the best possible tracking data.
