1. Contents of the box

  • In your box, you will find: Your GPS tracker and a USB cable. Note: these are no longer supplied with plug heads.

2. Charge your GPS tracker

  • Take the USB cable and remove the rubber flap from the GPS tracker so it hangs free, then insert the micro-USB into the GPS tracker.

  • Plug in your tracker to begin charging it.


3. Add your GPS tracker to an item to begin tracking

  • Note: GPS Trackers can only be added using the web portal currently.

  • In itemit, find the item you want to track with the tracker. If the item doesn’t yet exist, you can add it by pressing “add new item” and adding a name, serial number and, if required, description.

  • Then click the profile of the item, in the “tags” section, click “+”.

  • Here you need to enter the IMEI number of the tracker.

  • To find the IMEI number of your tracker, remove the tamper-proof pad, and you’ll find it on the label on the tracker below the barcode.

  • Enter the IMEI number in the box. Double-check if there are any capitals or numbers. Please do not enter ‘IMEI’ into the box, please only enter the 15 digit number.

  • Then click “save”.

  • You’ll then see your GPS tracker screen. It may take a few moments for this screen to update.

  • Now your tracker has been associated with the item.

4. Attach GPS tracker to item

  • First, you’ll want to clean the item you’re attaching the GPS tracker to.

  • Then, uncover the 3M adhesive stickers on the tamper-proof pad by removing the peel.

  • Finally, you can stick your GPS tracker to your item.


5. Location update settings

  • As standard, your tracker will be set to update every 15 Minutes when an item is moving, and every 60 Minutes when it is stationary.

  • If you'd like to discuss a different update frequency, contact us at [email protected].

6. Live location update

  • In addition to the scheduled location updates, you can also ask your tracker to tell you where it is at any time.

  • To do this, go to the item you’re interested in, then click on the GPS icon.

  • Then click “update”.


  • Your tracker will now give you its live location Note: this can take a few minutes to update.
