Configuring your Tracker
If you own your device, and you know your PIN number, this option will allow you to configure all of its options - such as tracking frequency, alert settings, and more. Changes you make here will take effect on your tracker straight away.
The Default PIN number for all devices is "1234".
Visit our Power Options and GPS Settings, Tracking Basics, and Alert Basics chapters for more information on the items on this menu.
Tracking
The Enabled option turns tracking on or off.
Satellite Context
The Satellite context menu controls your tracker's behaviour under normal conditions.
Cellular Context
For GPRS enabled devices, controls your tracker's behaviour while connected to a mobile network.
Distress Context
When your tracker is in Distress (Emergency) Mode (ex. following a red button press), different tracking parameters are defined. You can set these tracking parameters in the Distress Context menu and see which alerts put the device in this mode.
The following parameters are defined in these two modes:
- The Report Frequency can be set from Continuous up to 24 hours or Burst.
- The Burst Fix Rate can be set from 5 sec to 20 minutes.
- The Burst Transmit Rate can be set from 1 minute to 60 minutes.
Activity Sense
Activity Sense monitors your activity and switches your tracker to Burst Mode when it detects movement through the GPS or the accelerometer. In this menu you can define:
- Activity Sense Mode (Off / Power / Bump / SOG / Bump + SOG / Away From Home)
- Bump Threshold from 18 to 54.

In the Airborne Menu you can define the following flight parameters:

- Sets the centre of the Geofence
Power Alert
In the Power Loss Menu you can define the following power alert:
- Power Alert (On/Off)
🚧 Note
While the intention of this alert is to signal a power loss, in reality, this alert will signal a power state change. This is useful if, for instance, you want an alert sent in case power is unexpectedly lost or restored.

In the Temperature Menu you can define the following temperature parameters:
- Temperature Alerts (On/Off)
- Temperature Check Rate (1 sec to 30 min)

Note: If you have selected Unlimited + Activate, the tracker will automatically turn on/off based on the presence of external power.

If no movement is detected, it will power down when power is removed.
