How do I activate my GPS Tracker?

When you have created an account, added your tracker and paid for a subscription, then the tracker needs to be shaken with a firm and continuous motion for 5 seconds, in order to start the activating procedure (make sure to wait until the subscription has been paid before shaking it, otherwise you will need to wait 60 minutes before activating it again). The procedure takes about 10-20 minutes, but can vary according to the GPS connection and GSM signal. We recommend that you put your tracker on a window ledge or place it outside during the activation process to make sure that it can establish a connection.
