Spytec GPS Battery Case M6 Pro-XL Overview

How to Connect Spytec GPS Battery Case M6 Pro-XL

1. Charging the Battery
   • 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.

   • 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 fit in the case along with a GPS tracker.

     

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 flipping the DIP switch closest to the LED. Once you’ve confirmed the battery is active, you can optionally flip 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.)

   • 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.

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.
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.

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 flat 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.
