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 conrmed 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.
