Powering on-x
When connecting the device to the charger it turns on automatically.
When the device is plugged in, the Guardian GPS will connect to both the cellular network and the GPS signal. While connecting, the relevant LED blinks. We recommend charging your device near a window. After charging, take the device out in transit at least 1.5 miles outdoors away from charging location. This way the device can fully connect to local towers and GPS in the area.
GPS 1 devices have the power button disabled by default.
- Pressing the power button will not power off the device. It is disabled by default to avoid it accidentally being powered off.
- To turn the device off, if needed, use the app remote shutdown feature.
- To turn the device on, plug in the device.
- To enable the power button, go to the app web version, go to Main Menu > Settings > General > Enabled > Save

*GPS 1 devices with device tracker version of G4A.EY.016 and above can enable the power button from the app in the web version only for now. We will be updating the phone app in the near future. You can see your device’s current firmware version from the app Main Menu > Help > About. Please contact us for any assistance.
