TruTrak GPS LED Lighting Guide
Wireless GPS Devices
Not sure what the lights on your GPS tracker mean? This guide explains the LED lighting sequences on TruTrak GPS devices. Each light pattern indicates the status of key functions such as power, GPS lock and network connectivity. Use the previews below to quickly diagnose what your device is doing.
GAT23 GPS Tracking Device
GPS LED Signal
If you notice a flashing blue LED on your GPS tracking device, it means the unit is currently searching for a GPS signal. This is a normal part of the startup process, as the device attempts to connect with satellites to determine its precise location.
GPS LED Signal
A solid blue LED indicates that your GPS device has successfully acquired a GPS signal. This means the device is now ready to report accurate location data and is actively transmitting its position.
Power LED Signal
A solid green LED means your GPS device is fully charged and ready for use. However, once the device is moved, the LED will likely turn red again as it begins the charging cycle or requires re-connection.
Power LED Signal
A solid red LED indicates that your GPS device is currently charging. Once fully charged, the LED will change to green.
GL320MG GPS Tracking Device
GPS LED Signal
A fast flashing blue LED indicates that the device is actively searching for a GPS signal. This process is essential for establishing a connection with satellites and determining the device's location.
GPS LED Signal
A slower flashing LED means the device has successfully connected to GPS, but the GPS data is inaccurate or incorrect. This could happen due to interference or poor satellite signals and the device will need to recalibrate to provide accurate location information.
GPS LED Signal
A solid blue LED indicates that the device has successfully acquired a GPS signal and is now ready to track and report accurate location data.
Network LED Signal
A fast flashing green LED means the device is actively searching for a network connection. This is part of the process to sync with the network and ensure proper data transmission.
Network LED Signal
A slower flashing green LED indicates that the device has successfully connected to the network and is in the process of establishing communication for data transmission.
Network LED Signal
A solid green LED indicates that the SIM card in the device is locked, meaning it has successfully connected to the network and is ready for data transmission.
Power LED Signal
A fast flashing red LED indicates that the device is currently charging. Once charging is complete, the LED will typically change to a solid color to show that the battery is full.
Power LED Signal
A slow flashing red LED means that the device is running low on power and needs to be charged soon to ensure continued operation.
Power LED Signal
A solid red LED means the device has finished charging and is now fully charged and ready for use.
GL50B GPS Tracking Device
When the GPS device is first turned on, the red LED will flash as it begins searching for a mobile network. If the device successfully connects, the red LED will turn solid for 30 seconds and then switch off, indicating a stable network connection. However, if the red LED continues flashing for 5 minutes and then turns off, this means the device was unable to find a network. In this case, turn the device off for at least one full minute, move to an open outdoor area with good signal visibility, and then turn the device back on to allow it to reconnect.
GAT24 GPS Tracking Device
Power LED Signal
The green LEDs will flash when the device is charging, with the flashing pattern indicating the number of charge grids. Once the device is fully charged, the green LEDs will stay solid to show that charging is complete.
The GAT24 device defaults with all lights off. To display the status lights, simply short press the power button and the lights will appear for 3 minutes. While the lights are on, the device operates in high power consumption mode. The device will only enter low power consumption mode when the lights are turned off.
GPS LED Signal
When the yellow LED is flashing rapidly, it indicates that the device is actively searching for a GPS signal to establish a connection.
GPS LED Signal
A solid yellow LED indicates that the device has successfully acquired a GPS signal. This means it is now accurately tracking its location and is ready to begin transmitting GPS data as needed.
Note:If you are having difficulties with the yellow light appearing, it could indicate that the GPS is in sleep mode. To resolve this, simply press the light button again to reactivate the GPS and display the status light.
GPSR LED Signal
A fast flashing red LED indicates that the device is initializing its GSM module. This is part of the startup process as it prepares to connect to the mobile network for data communication.
GPSR LED Signal
A slow flashing red LED indicates that the GSM signal is being received normally. This means the device has connected to the mobile network and is operating as expected.
GPSR LED Signal
A solid red LED indicates that GPRS is online, meaning the device has successfully connected to the mobile data network and is ready to transmit location and status information.
Note: If no GSM signal is received, it may be due to the SIM card not being inserted correctly or the device having entered low power consumption mode. To resolve this, simply press and hold the power button to reactivate the device and restore the connection.
