How do I charge the Tracker?

With its durable battery life, your tracker should last around one week. But when you need to charge it, just insert the charger that came with the box. It’s a USB micro-B charger, so be sure not to use your phone's USB Type-C charger.

When the tracker’s battery falls to 5 percent, its LED light will turn red. However, even on low battery, your tracker will last around 4 to 8 hours. Once the tracker is fully charged, the LED will turn green. To see the battery’s status at any time, press the button on the tracker. The LED will blink red or blue depending on the battery level.

Note: Frequent location measurements may affect battery consumption.
