6 Overview Attenti’s One-Piece Tracking Device 4 utilizes GPS satellites to establish an offender’s location by utilizing the cellular network to transmit the data. It is a one-piece device that is worn on an offender’s ankle and is able to function in active and passive mode.
7 1 Piece Operating Features Battery Life: The device should be given a full charge (4.2 volts) to supply a full day of battery life. It takes approximately 2 to 2 ½ hours to acquire a full charge. The battery will last approximately 24-30 hours if fully charged. The daily life of the battery is dependent upon the call-in interval of the device, how often it goes to rest, and how many violations are created. The battery must be charged each day in order to continue to track your offender’s locations. Note: Battery tests are conducted using specific Attenti devices in controlled testing environments. Actual performance and results may be affected by cellular network, location, signal strength, feature configuration, usage, and many other factors. Battery life and charge cycles vary by use and settings. Vibrate feature: The 1 Piece will vibrate upon violation and when the device receives an alert from the officer. If the offender causes a violation, the 1 Piece will vibrate three times consecutively and once every ten minutes until they clear the violation. If the officer sends the offender a notification (an alert) to contact them, the 1 Piece will vibrate for ten consecutive seconds. As soon as the offender acknowledges the notification, the vibration will stop. All three LED lights will be flashing red to indicate that the offender needs to acknowledge the officer’s notification. If the offender doesn’t acknowledge the notification, then every ten minutes it will vibrate once until they acknowledge the notification. Storing GPS Points: The 1 Piece will store an offender’s location (GPS point) when in motion (moving) every minute. If the 1 Piece does not experience any motion for two consecutive minutes, the 1 Piece will go to “rest” and collect a GPS point every hour instead of each minute. As soon as any motion is generated, the 1 Piece will resume recording points on a minute-to-minute basis. However, if the offender causes a geographic zone violation and is in motion, the 1 Piece will begin to store a point every 15 seconds. Call-in intervals: The 1 Piece will contact Attenti every hour while in active mode and every six hours while in passive mode. While in active mode, it will also contact Attenti immediately upon violation. Automatic Redial: If the 1 Piece is unable to communicate with Attenti because of poor cellular coverage, it will continue to try to call and download its information until it is successful. Waterproof: The 1 Piece is waterproof down to 66 feet.
8 1 Piece Operating Features, cont. Rubber strap: The 1 Piece strap is designed to last nine months to one year. Magnetized Charger: The 1 Piece has a magnetized charger to prevent an accidental disconnect when the battery is being recharged.
9 1 Piece Operating Details Communication The 1 Piece has a SIM card, which is similar to the data transmitter/receiver found in most cellular phones. The 1 Piece uses the SIM card to transmit and download the GPS points and alarms it has recorded to Attenti’s servers. The call-in intervals are determined by the agency’s contract specifications. Examples may be hourly, every six hours, or immediately upon alarm. Active Mode: • The standard 1 Piece call-in interval is once every hour while in compliance. • The 1 Piece will call Attenti as soon as a violation occurs. Passive Mode: • The standard 1 Piece call-in interval is once every six hours. • The 1 Piece will not call Attenti when a violation occurs. The officer will only be made aware of violations when they view the GPS maps or the Daily Event Summary Report (DESR) that is emailed to the officer. • Violations will also be displayed in Case Management and on the Offender Monitor.
10 Operating Details LEDs There are three LEDs on the top of the 1 Piece, identified as Power, GPS, and Zone. The three LEDs work separately and provide the offender with information. The 1 Piece will vibrate to provide an indication that the offender must look at the LEDs.
11 Operating Details LEDs Power This LED indicates the condition of the 1 Piece battery. Prior to Activation: Before activating the device, the officer should conduct a battery test. To do this, simply hold down the silver activation button for three seconds and observe the condition of the Battery LED. • If the “PWR” LED is green, there is a sufficient charge to activate the 1 Piece. • If the “PWR” LED is red, or does not light up at all, the 1 Piece needs to be charged. After Activation: • If the “PWR” LED is blinking green, there is a sufficient charge. • If the “PWR” LED is blinking red, the 1 Piece needs to be charged. 1 Piece on Charger: When the 1 Piece is connected to the charger, the Power LED will be solid (not flashing) green or red. • If the LED is red: The 1 Piece is not fully charged and should not be disconnected from the charger • If the LED is green: The 1 Piece battery has been completely charged and the charger may be disconnected • When the 1 Piece is connected to the charger, it will vibrate once indicating a good connection. When the battery is fully charged, the 1 Piece will vibrate once indicating that it is okay to remove from the charger.
12 Operating Details LEDs GPS Officer: • During activation, the officer will see this LED flashing green in unison with the flashing “Zone” LED. Offender: • In normal conditions, the GPS LED will be off. • The offender will see this LED flashing red to indicate a Motion No GPS warning or violation. When the violation has cleared, the LED will stop blinking.
13 Operating Details LEDs Zone Officer: • During activation, the officer will see this LED flashing green in unison with the flashing “GPS” LED. Offender: • In normal conditions, the Zone LED will be off. • The offender will see this LED flashing red to indicate an Inclusion or Exclusion Zone warning and/or violation. When the violation has been cleared, the LED will stop blinking.
