1 Introduction
About STaR®
STaR (Satellite Tracking and Reporting) is based on highly
advanced GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) technology and
Elmo-Tech’s field proven RF monitoring expertise. The Home
Unit, the Transmitter and the STaR Unit are just a few of the
unique elements of the Electronic Monitoring System.
The monitored individual wears a body secured Transmitter. For
effective supervision, the monitored individual is assigned with a
personalized curfew schedule and a zone limitation program
(hot zones).
The STaR Unit is a mobile monitoring device that reports on
locality and infractions, helping to ensure absolute compliance in
accordance with the monitored individual’s appointed monitoring
program. While in the curfew location (e.g. home or hostel), the
STaR Unit is placed next to the Home Unit. The Home Unit
extends the STaR Unit’s reception capabilities in such a way as
to cover the entire curfew location.
When leaving the curfew location, the monitored individual must
carry the STaR Unit on his or her person. An alert is activated if
the Transmitter and the STaR Unit are separated. Once on the
move, the STaR Unit automatically acquires a GPS position fix
and activates continuous location data collection. The STaR Unit
communicates with the monitoring center, via the cellular
network, reporting on location and violations. Reporting is based
on the monitored individual’s assigned program and schedule.

pulling the Unit upwards slightly.
3. Remove the Home Unit from the mounting bracket and turn
the Unit over. The deactivation button is located on the
backside of the Unit.
4. Using a pointed instrument (but not sharp), push down on
the reset button. The Home Unit deactivates itself and all
stored information is deleted.
5 Transmitter Activation & Installation
Instructions
Activating the Transmitter
To activate the Transmitter:
1. Hold the Transmitter in the palm of your hand with the
metal pins, along the strap, pointing towards you. You will
need to support the underside of the strap with your finger.
2. Hold the MRD (Manual Reset Device) in your free hand, with
the Off button facing towards the open end of the strap. The
On button must be facing the main body of the Transmitter.
3. Press the MRD down over the strap ensuring that the two
metal touch points on top of the MRD make contact with the
two metal pins on the strap.
4. Holding the MRD in this position, press the On button for
one second. The red LED on the MRD turns steadily on for
two seconds, followed by two seconds of flashing. This
indicates that the Transmitter has received the activation
command.
5. Place the Transmitter on its side, onto a non-metal surface
and wait for 30 seconds.
6. Once activated, you can attach the Transmitter to the
monitored individual’s wrist or ankle.
Remember: For more information about attaching the
Transmitter, refer to the section about, Attaching the
Transmitter.
11
STaR Unit & Transmitter Installation and Operation Guide
To deactivate the Transmitter:
Follow the instruction, as described in the steps on the previous
page and instead of pressing the MRD On button to activate the
Transmitter, press the Off button.
Attaching the Transmitter
To attach the Transmitter to the monitored individual’s
wrist or ankle:
1. Place the strap holder
onto the short strap
(pin side) of the
transmitter.
2. Attach the female clip
to the underside of
the short strap and
verify that the closed
end of the female
clip fits with the
edge of the strap.
3. Wrap the Transmitter around the monitored individual’s
wrist or ankle at its narrowest point.
12
5 Transmitter Activation & Installation Instructions
4. Position the long
strap over the
female clip,
ensuring that all
the pins on the
short strap
protrude through
the long strap.
5. Slide the strap holder over the end of the long strap in
order to hold it in place.
6. Press the male
clip down onto
the female clip,
ensuring that all
pins and
grooves, on both
locking clips,
connect
correctly.
7. Get the monitored individual to move around with the
Transmitter around the wrist or ankle and ensure that
the strap fits comfortably.
Note: The closed strap should not put any pressure on the
wrist or ankle. For a leg attachment, try to attach the
Transmitter over a sock before fastening the clips.
8. Fasten the two clips together using the supplied locking
tool. An audible clicking sound is heard indicating that
the strap clips are secured together correctly.
13
STaR Unit & Transmitter Installation and Operation Guide

27
STaR UNIT & TRANSMITTER INSTALLATION AND OPERATION GUIDE
Replacing the Transmitter Straps
Any of the following indicator’s could justify replacing a
Transmitter strap:
f Visible damage to one or both straps
f Strap tamper alarm generated, with no visible damage to
the Transmitter
f Transmitter will not activate
Note: If only one side of the strap is damaged, you may
want to leave the undamaged side in place and replace only
the damaged side of the strap.
The following equipment items are required to replace the
Transmitter straps:
f 1 Transmitter body
f 1 pair of replacement straps (long/medium non-pins side
and long/medium pins side)
f Screwdriver
f Extra screws
f Extra strap clips (male and female)
f Electronic key
To replace the Transmitter straps:
1. Using the screwdriver, open the screw(s) that holds the
strap clasp to the Transmitter and remove the strap clasp.
2. Gently shake the strap loose from the Transmitter body,
being extra careful not to damage the metal pins on the
Transmitter body.
28
7 Maintaining & Packing the Monitoring Equipment
3. Position the new strap over the Transmitter body. Notice
that the two small holes on the strap have to lie exactly over
the two metal pins.
4. Gently place the strap down over the metal pins and press
down along the seam of the strap, snugly fitting the entire
strap to the Transmitter body.
5. Put the strap clasp back in place with the wider side pointing
in-wards.
6. Close the screw (s) with the screwdriver. It has to be closed
firmly, but not too tight since this can damage the strap.
7. Test the new strap by re-activating the Transmitter.
8. If, after the re-activation, the Transmitter does not reset
itself, repeat steps 1-6 making sure that the strap is
positioned correctly over the pins. Then perform another
activation test. If changing only one side of the strap does
not work, you should try and change the other strap side.
