Finding the assets you care about
With 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. If the
device is in an area of poor network or GPS coverage or in certain
indoor locations (for example, an elevator), it may not provide a
location fix.
Warning During normal use this device is not to be located within 20 cm (8
inches) of a person. It is intended for Asset Tracking only.

Setting up or changing account information
In 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. You may want to make a note of this
information, either here or in a more secure place:
• Account ID: ___________________________________________________
• Device ID: ____________________________________________________
• Password: ____________________________________________________
• Action your service provider will perform when you press:
Button 1: _____________________________________________________
Button 2: _____________________________________________________

Battery Information
Your @ctiveFind device needs one AA battery.
Battery life is affected by several factors, including:
• Cold weather
• Quality of the battery
• Number of location fixes performed
• Number of times the alerts are used
• Type of battery—Although alkaline batteries are recommended for general
use, the @ctiveFind device can also use other types of batteries (such as
lithium) that have a longer lifespan. Ask your service provider for details.
Note Non-alkaline batteries may require special disposal procedures.
When the battery needs to be replaced, the device will provide two short beeps
every 60 seconds if your service provider has enabled the buzzer.
➤To install the battery
1Remove the battery compartment door.
2Insert one AA battery, aligning the + and - symbols on the battery with those
in the battery compartment.
3Replace the battery compartment door.

Turning the @ctiveFind device on and off
Depending on how your service provider has configured this feature, the On/Off
switch can have up to three modes:
The Standby mode, which allows your service provider to override the On/Off
switch setting, ensures that devices inadvertently turn the switch off can still be
located.
On • The device can perform a location fix
• The LED and buzzer are enabled
Off • The device cannot perform a location fix
• The LED and buzzer are disabled
Off (Standby) • The device can perform a location fix
• The LED and buzzer are disabled (except for the
network alert)

Attaching the @ctiveFind device
The @ctiveFind device has been designed to make it easy to be placed in or on a
valuable item. A built-in chain post and a belt clip help to secure the device to
the item carrying it.
When positioning the device on the item, try to keep the device pointed upwards
for optimal performance. In addition, keep these precautions in mind:
• The device should be kept away from metal objects.
• The device can operate in temperatures ranging from -10 to +50 degrees
Celsius (14 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit), but it will not operate for extended
periods of time below 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit).
