3Finding the assets you care aboutWith your new @ctiveFind device you can:•Quickly find a valuable asset that is carrying a location device by making a location fix request via a phone, two-way pager, or secure website.Because this location service integrates GPS navigation technology, a two-way wireless messaging network, and the internet, it has enhanced accuracy, coverage, and accessibility. It can work in places that other location systems cannot—for example, in cities and indoors.You have access to these alert-sending and location-finding services 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.Use the information in this guide to get acquainted with the device’s features. Then use the world’s smallest, most accurate portable location device to locate what you care about.Warning The @ctiveFind device provides the best coverage that current location technology can offer, but it does not work everywhere.

4Setting up or changing account informationIn addition to providing the usual account identification and billing information, you will need to let your service provider know what action to take when they receive a message from your @ctiveFind device. You can configure up to three separate responses. Typically these instructions would be to send a location alert message to a designated contact by e-mail, phone, or pager. Your service provider can also send an alert message to your device. You can set up your account to specify what this alert will indicate and under what circumstances it will be sent. (Note that this alert will not be muted by standby mode—see page 8.) Before you contact your service provider about your account, be prepared with the following information.
