Do’s and Don’ts with your SageTracker
Do
Check your battery usage on your web page and recharge the
unit when battery life falls below 20%. A full charge may take
4-6 hours.
Place your SageTracker where it will have a clear line of sight to
the sky and receive a fix from the GPS satellites. Concealed
devices may give you fewer location fixes than devices left in
the open and will take longer to get a fix. Sometimes a slight
adjustment in location can make a big difference in the
reporting quality.
Locations that tend to provide good reporting:
•
In the glove compartment
•
Under the passenger seat
•
Under the package shelf in the rear window
•
Inside a fiberglass bumper (not metal bumper)
•
On the dashboard (remove on hot, sunny days)
•
In the rear window (remove on hot, sunny days)
Locations that may reduce reporting quality:
•
In the trunk (Hatchbacks/SUV’s may be OK)
•
Completely underneath the vehicle
•
Inside the engine compartment (extreme heat)
•
In the wheel well (water spray)
•
Inside buildings or garages
•
In direct sunlight for extended periods (extreme heat)
Don’t
Don’t use your SageTracker in prohibited areas that restrict
wireless or two-way radio usage. Using your SageTracker in
prohibited areas may be illegal and/or dangerous. These areas
can include hospitals, blasting sites, and in or near aircraft.

Don’t keep the device in direct contact with your body.
SageTracker is not designed to be worn. Maintain a space of at
least one inch between the device and your skin. People with
pacemakers should not carry the SageTracker on or near their
body and should maintain a distance of at least 8”.
Don’t place your SageTracker over the airbag in the vehicle. If
the airbag deploys, this could cause significant injury.
Don’t block the device with metal. SageTracker will not get a
satellite fix or be able to report the location when the GPS
signal is blocked by a metal obstruction.
Don’t install the unit next to other transmitting devices, such as
satellite radios, VHF, radar, or other SageTracker devices, as
they may interfere with each other.
