Getting Started With Angelsense GPS Tracker

Getting Started GPS1

Welcome to AngelSense!

This 2-minute video will walk you through what you need to know in order to start using your AngelSense GPS1 Device.

Step 1: Charge the device: When connecting the device to the charger it should turn on automatically, with the blue LED light on solid. It will take approximately 4 hours for a full charge of over 12-14 hours.

Step 2: Download the AngelSense App.

Step 3: Log In to the AngelSense App for further guidance.

Step 4: Place near a window or go outside to get location updates to your app.

Step 5: As soon as your device is charged and turned on, take the device out in transit at least 1.5 miles outdoors away from the charging location. This way the device can fully connect to local towers and GPS in the area. You can then watch your app for prompts with further guidance. Geo-fences are created automatically in AngelSense! You can personalize your locations by renaming the places.

Daily Safety Check:

Always verify your device is charged & ready to use before you place it on your loved one. Immediately after you unplug it, press the SOS/Call buttons to make sure both LED lights turn on momentarily. You can also check the app status bar to see that it’s tracking and fully charged. We suggest making a habit of this to avoid the unfortunate situation that the charging cable might not have been connected properly and the device did not charge.

For further instructions, go through these Troubleshooting steps. Please contact Customer Care if you need any help!

Why Your Child with Autism Needs a BIGGER GPS Device

Proactive alerts to routine deviations and providing consistent location updates in poor GPS and cellular conditions are indispensable features. Supporting these capabilities require enough power to sustain the device and can only be achieved with a larger battery size and an equally accommodating device.
