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.
FMB920 GPS Tracking Device
GPS/GPSR LED Signal
When you see two flashing green LEDs, it means the device is searching for both GPS (satellite signal) and GPRS (network connection). The device is in the process of establishing both connections to function properly.
GPS/GPSR LED Signal
When both green LEDs are solid, it means the device has successfully connected to both GPS (satellite signal) and GPRS (network connection), allowing it to track and transmit location data.
FMT200 GPS Tracking Device

Lights Not On or Not Flashing - What It Means:
If the green LED is not lit, it means the device has not found a network signal and cannot transmit data. If the blue LED is not lit, this suggests that the GPS has either gone into hibernation or is faulty and unable to establish a signal. If the red LED is not lit, this indicates an external power failure or an internal fault with the device, preventing it from powering on properly.
When all the lights on the device are solid and bright, it means the device has successfully established all necessary connections and is fully operational. The solid green LED indicates that the device is online and connected to the network. The solid blue LED shows that the device has located GPS and is actively tracking. Lastly, the solid red LED confirms that the device is powered on and functioning as expected. This state ensures the device is ready for reliable tracking and data transmission.
