Activation of service The Loc8tor GPS comes ready to use out of the box although we’d recommend you fully charge first. To charge the device; simply insert the mini USB power cable into the device. Once the device starts to charge it will automatically turn on. No activation is required in order to begin using the tracker, as it will arrive with the allocated amount of time you selected in your tracking plan, already pre-installed. To use our Tracking Panel you may need to download Microsoft Silverlight on your Mac or PC. Most computers however already come with it pre-installed. If you need to download just go to http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx. To access your Tracking Panel, go to http://www.myloc8tor.com If you are trying to access the Tracking Panel through a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet, you may need to use a different url – http://www.mytrackingpanel.com/#map or alternatively, if you navigate to our pet microsite, you can now access a responsive Tracking Panel which should work on most devices including smartphones and tablet.

How to use the Loc8tor GPS 1. Turn the Loc8tor GPS on by pressing the On / Off button (see image above) for several seconds. A light will appear on the LED display on the front of the device.
2. Place the Loc8tor GPS outside of a building or close to a window so that it will get the initial GPS fix. We suggest that the lights on the Loc8tor GPS are facing towards the sky. This will help the device get the initial GPS fix quicker. Once connected a slow green light will flash. 3. The GPS tracker is now ready to use, and can be tracked through our very own online tracking panel. Many computers today come pre-installed with Microsoft Silverlight. If you do not have it installed go to http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx and follow the simple instructions. This is required for the Tracking Panel to work properly on your Mac or PC home computer. Once logged in you can expect to see the following panel:

GPS Tracking Plans, Top Up Credits / Subscription Your Loc8tor GPS tracker is a Pay-As-You-Go device, meaning we don’t tie you in to any monthly contracts for which you have an obligation to pay. We have tried to make the set-up as simple as possible, so when you initially purchase your tracker, you would have done so in conjunction with a tracking plan. The tracking plan consists of a SIM card (very similar to what you would find in a mobile phone), and data for a pre-determined length of time. Your GPS tracker will arrive with your chosen tracking plan already installed. Once your selected length of time has elapsed you can opt to renew for as long as you desire, whenever you desire. You would do this by going to our website, and choosing GPS Top Ups from the online store. The length of time you have remaining will show on your tracking panel under the compass, showing number of days remaining and the date your tracking plan / GPS Top Ups are due to expire. Unlike other GPS trackers available on the market, Loc8tor offers UNLIMITED tracking, so you can set up your tracker to report as frequently as every 10 seconds and set-up multiple safe zones with alerts to up to 4 contacts, and not pay anything additional.
Panic Alarm The Panic button is the large button on the front of the device. When activated it enables the GPS user to alert one or numerous people by text and/or e-mail informing that the Panic button has been pressed along with the devices whereabouts. To activate hold down the Panic button on the device for about 3 seconds. Make sure you enter in the contact numbers / e-mail address to be notified in the ‘Admin’ tab in the top menu bar
