Step 1: Charging the Battery
1. Plug the round connector from the
cable on the AC adapter into the
larger round socket of the lithium-ion
battery pack cable. Plug the adapter
into a wall outlet or power strip. To
fully charge a zero-charged battery,
plan on keeping the charger plugged
in for up to 15 hours. The LED on the
power adapter is red during charging and turns green when the battery is fully
charged.
2. When you unplug the adapter from a power outlet, but it’s still connected to the
battery, the LED will be green. This means the battery is powering the LED, but
it does not indicate whether the battery is fully or partially charged. Store the
power adapter separately since it will not t in the case along with a GPS tracker.
The Spytec GPS M6 Pro XL Extended Battery and All-Weather Case for GL300 Series
Trackers is a kit that combines a long-life, rechargeable lithium-ion battery with
a tough case that adheres to a metallic surface of a vehicle, mobile equipment
or other asset in transit using two heavy-duty magnets. The external battery can
extend the battery life of your tracker by up to twelve times, or an additional six
months beyond the standard battery life of GL300 series trackers. The case houses
the extended battery, switch module, and your GPS tracker (not included).
In the Box
• Rechargeable Li-ion battery
• AC adapter
• Toggle switch module
• Watertight case with two magnets
• Two magnet brackets with
adhesive strips
Step 2: Connecting the GPS Tracker
• Connect the white plug (the
one attached to the two black
and two red wires leading from
the battery) to the white socket
on the toggle switch module
by aligning the four pins. A red
LED will light up on the module
indicating that the battery
has power. (The light can be
disabled by ipping the DIP switch closest to the LED. Once you’ve conrmed the
battery is active, you can optionally ip the switch to conserve a tiny bit of power.
No one will see the LED with the case shut, though when you reopen the case
later you can switch it back on to check if the battery is spent.)

Remaining Battery Capacity Status
• The Spytec GPS Tracker software will show the amount of remaining battery
power for each tracker as a dynamic icon next to the name of the tracker and
its street address overlaying the map. The battery icon will range from solid to
hollow depending on the remaining capacity. When low, the icon will display red.
When you hover the hand icon over the battery, the percentage remaining will
be displayed as adjacent text, such as 8%.
• Note: When the extended battery is connected, the software platform displays
the remaining capacity of the extended battery only. It does not count the
remaining capacity in the tracker’s internal battery.
To Further Extend the Battery Life
The M6 Pro XL ships with the SW103 toggle switch (second down from the LED) in the
H (right) position. This tells your tracker to infrequently transmit its position when it
is not moving. If the switch has been moved to the L (left) position, the tracker will
transmit at, for example, every minute even when the vehicle is standing still, which
will drain the battery. To get the most time from the tracker between charges, make
sure the switch is pointed to the right.
• Please ignore the set of green, yellow, red and black wires. Though meant
for hardwiring to the vehicle, they are not relevant here since the shut case
precludes external wires. Simply tuck them into the case. Plug the mini-USB
connector attached to the blue, red, white and black wires into the same USB
port on the tracker that you would use to charge the tracker’s internal battery.
• Note: The external (extended battery) will NOT charge the tracker’s internal
battery. For the most long lasting power, you should fully charge the tracker’s
internal battery separately before connecting the fully-charged extended
battery.
Attaching the Case to the Vehicle
• With the battery, switch module, tracker,
and all wires snugly packed inside with
nothing protruding, shut the case and
snap the two-tab latch into the slots. Two
industrial-strength magnets are attached
to brackets. Attach each bracket to the
side hinges so that the magnet, when
swung around, will adhere to the bottom
of the case. Make sure to peel off the
adhesive covers so that the magnets will
stick to the case bottom.
• You would typically mount the case upside
down against a at metallic surface under
a vehicle. If you’re attaching the case to a vehicle or another type of asset such
as construction equipment or a safe, make sure you attach it to the outside of
any metallic enclosure. The case should not be placed under a hood, in the trunk,
or in a safe. The case is made of plastic as metal will interfere with transmission
signals.
• The magnets will keep the case securely in place. You’ll have to exert some force
to pull the case off a surface if you want to move the case. The magnets won’t
damage the mounting surface, and you won’t have to drill any holes.
• Note: Depending on placement, the case won’t necessarily have to be removed
from its magnetic mount when you open the lid and temporarily remove
components for recharging.
