Don’t place your SageTracker over the airbag in the vehicle. If
the airbag deploys, this could cause significant injury.
Don’t use rechargeable batteries or anything other than high
quality alkaline batteries. Generic and discount batteries are
not recommended and may cause the unit to function
improperly. Non-alkaline batteries may cause the device to
malfunction and will void your warranty.
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 SageTrackers, as they may

Things to Remember
SageTracker needs to “see” the GPS satellites in order to report
the location. If you have no address in the address, your
SageTracker cannot communicate with the GPS satellites.
Remember that concealed devices will provide fewer fixes and a
longer reporting interval than devices left in the open.
The device needs to have cellular coverage in order to send
reports. If the device travels to a rural area with no cell
coverage, it will not be able to report. If the unit loses its
cellular connection, it will automatically transmit its tracking
history when it is able to reconnect to cellular service.
Areas that are mountainous heavily forested or streets with
many high rise buildings may have interference.
Credits
If you have chosen a prepay plan, please note that each time
the device sends a report, it uses 1 credit. Your credit balance
is listed at the top of your tracking site, and you may purchase
more credits by clicking on the “Buy Credit” button beside it. If
you run out of credits, you will not be able to log into your
website until your purchase additional credits.
If you have chosen an unlimited monthly wireless service you
do not need to worry about credits for your tracker.
