3)Check the status of the LED indicators. If the terminal is OK, the red LED and the blue LED will intermittently flick.
4)Inquiry the parameters of terminal via commands and check the right of the parameters.

2.Offline status on the platform server

Check the LED indicators whether is OK, if not, you can check the SIM card following next steps:

1)call the SIM card of the terminal and check if you can hear the connect ring.
2)Check if the vehicle is in the place where there is no Cellular network signal.

If the GPS is active, but the terminal cannot be positioned for long time, please check the terminal:

1) Is the GPS signal normal?
2)The upside of the terminal should be installed with face toward the sky.
3)The GSM and GPS signal may be weakened if the terminal is installed in the place with electromagnetic wave absorption material, more attention should be paid if there is metal thermal insulation layer or heating layer on the front windshield, so that the position accuracy will decline, and the severe ones will not be positioned.

The Eelink device is usually accurate within 15~50 meters. Remote area without gsm signal area is less accuracy and other sources of error may affect the accuracy.

Due to technological limitations of the GPS satellites’ signals, we cannot guarantee that the GPS device will work 100% of the time. GPS signals connections may experience downtime, interruptions or dead spots.

However, under normal circumstances, our equipment works well and the probability of occurrence is very low.

10.Does the Eelink device work the same in all areas?

No. The Eelink device works best in suburban areas such as neighborhoods, houses, schools, parks, and flatter regions. It can receive a GPS signal better in these areas because there is less obstruction of the GPS signal. The better line-of-sight the GPS , the more accurate the position will be. The Eelink device will work on a limited basis in cities where there are many high-rise buildings because the buildings decrease line of sight to the GPS signal causing errors in positioning.

11.What should i do when install Eelink Device improve over time?
 
The initial location is the hardest as the Eelink device is connecting for the first time with four satellites and figuring out where in the world it is. Most often this requires taking the device outside for 5 or more minutes. If activating in a home you may notice the initial location reported is approximate to your home but not very accurate.
