Getting Started
When first powered on, allow the tracker a few minutes to find a signal to report your location. You would want to ensure it can get a clear view of the sky for this first report if possible.
The tracker can report its position two ways: a precise GPS location and an approximate location based on nearby cell towers.
An approximate location would be issued if the device isn’t able to get a clear signal to report, isn’t powered on, or has been stationary for a period of time. The device would report its location based on nearby cell tower positions, these positions are indicated by a white pin and a large blue circle showing the approximate location. If the device cannot get a clear signal for a standard GPS report because it is in a garage, for instance, it would often issue a cell fix as a result.
What Reporting Looks Like
By default, the Mobile 310 reports once daily on a set 24 hour interval. The exact time of that report can be changed based on your need, feel free to reach out to our support team and we’d be happy to assist with changing that for you.
The amount of daily location reports can vary from one to four times each day, with the battery life scaling down accordingly as well. That interval can be changed from the Commands tab within the mobile app, found on the larger tracking map page as shown below.

Troubleshooting Your Mobile 310
Mobile 310 stopped tracking
Either the Mobile 310 is powered off or it may have moved into an area of limited 3G cell coverage.
In the coverage map, “Partner” coverage does not work for 3G devices like the Mobile 310.
Mobile 310 is not showing its exact location
Oftentimes when the device is unable to update, or not showing an exact location it would be signal or coverage-related. Either the Mobile 310 is indoors or obstructed where it cannot get a strong GPS signal, or has moved into an area where it isn’t able to retrieve a clear cell signal to report.
It will begin reporting GPS positions on its next scheduled interval as soon as it moves outside again, or returns to an area with sufficient cell coverage. You can also get the device to attempt to report again prior to its next interval by powering the device off, and then back on again.
