Examples of Check‐Ns include: Place of employment Pre‐approved appointments (medical, counseling, etc.) Special events (graduation, wedding, family gatherings, etc.) Enter a Check‐N late and Blu+ immediately generates a violation notification and reports it to VeriTracks, which then sends it to the assigned supervising agent. Arrival Times will reoccur every week. Check‐N times that overlap a 24/7 Blubox schedule are allowed. Overview Blu+ and GPS Overview 1 GPS Trackpoint Per Minute & 10‐Minute Calls are enabled for: Check-Ns* 30 minutes *Tracking begins 15 minutes prior to scheduled arrival and up to 15 minutes after. Tracking will cease upon arrival or when the 30minute window ends (whichever occurs first). Curfew Violations 30 minutes Other Violations 60 minutes Equipment tampering, Low Battery, Blubox Power Loss, etc. Blu+ and GPS Overview GPS on Demand Request Location One call and one GPS attempt, per request Rapid Reporting Attempts GPS every minute and calls every ten minutes for 30 minutes, total Request Location Rapid Reporting Blubox Specifications Overview • Home accessory (tether) to an Active Blu+ • RF provides positive confirmation that the enrollee is present • Does not use a phone line; all activity is reported via Blu+ to VeriTracks • Greenfield range of 300 feet (open space with no structural constraints) Indoor environments (residential structures) may impact the maximum range • Location Verification of the Blubox is performed to confirm its placement • Secure coded RF signal cannot be imitated 10 How Blubox and Blu+ work when Overview grouped together The Blubox emits an RF signal that when detected by the Blu+ causes it to: • Trigger an Enter (Blubox) event • Go into a Blubox Powersave Mode if the following criteria is met: – Blu+ can hear its Blubox – Neither is in violation – Blu+ can successfully contact VeriTracks to upload its data • Constantly listen for the Blubox RF signal 11 How Blubox and Blu+ work when Overview grouped together (cont’d) • A Blu+ will come out of Powersave Mode if one of the following occurs: – Blubox loss of RF signal – Blubox Loss of power, movement, or Blubox tampering – Any standard Blu+ violation • If a Blu+ is out of Powersave mode, but in range of its Blubox, the Blu+ will still show Enter (Blubox) 12 Special Considerations Overview Blu+ will enter its Blubox home without a valid GPS position, but only if the Blubox location has been previously validated with a good GPS position since the last Blubox alarm was cleared. A Check-N’s arrival time can overlap the home curfew, but if at home during curfew, GPS will not perform Check-N tracking. However, a violation will be sent at the end of 30 minutes. If the curfew is inactive and the Check-N is missed, Blu+ will be tracked with GPS while at home. The Blu+ has a special mode during the period after install to allow offender to go home and plug their Blubox. 13 Immediate Notifications Events 1. Agents can be alerted to events by subscribing to notifications. 2. Events that happen in an instant provide one-time notifications, e.g. Enrollee Check-In Successful (one notification sent, per event). 3. Other events can span a period of time. You will be notified of their start with a message containing a positive (+) / in-progress status. An additional message arrives with a negative (-) when the event closes. Example of an open Blubox Curfew Violation: Violation Status Event Start PID Agent Name Enrollee Name 14 Blu+ Events ENROLLEE Check-N SUCCESSFUL ENROLLEE Check-N LOCATION UNKNOWN Enrollee arrived on time during the Check-N window (at scheduled arrival time or within 15 minutes prior). Events CHKINOK Enrollee either has no GPS during the CheckN window or their GPS shows them elsewhere. CHKINUNK ENROLLEE Check-N LATE ARRIVAL Enrollee arrived late, but within the Check-N window (within 15 minutes past the scheduled CHKINLATE arrival time). MASTER TAMPER Strap may have been tampered with. Event will close only after 1) Agent rectifies the strap +/-MTPR connection issue and 2) Authorizes its closure in VeriTracks.

Blu+ awakens and +BBMOV reports violation. BluBOX POWER LOSS Blubox has been unplugged. BluBOX LIGHT TAMPER Blubox is opened or damaged in a way that has +BBTAMP exposed the internal electronics to light. BluBOX MOVEMENT AND LIGHT TAMPER BluBOX POWER LOSS AND LIGHT TAMPER BluBOX POWER LOSS AND MOVEMENT (Combination Events) +/-BBPOW +BBTAMP 17 Blubox AWAY Events Events In addition to the standard Blubox events, Blubox also has the ability to retain information about a Power Loss, Movement, and Tamper event occurring while the Blu+ is out of RF range of the Blubox. AWAY BluBOX POWER LOSS AWAY BluBOX MOVEMENT AWAY BluBOX LIGHT TAMPER These events, especially AWAY BluBOX POWER LOSS AND MOVEMENT, may indicate that an attempt to move Blubox to an unauthorized location has taken place. The time of the violation is still the time that the event was reported to the Blu+. Therefore the time recorded for Away events will be the approximately the same as the time of the next Enter. 18 The Daily Report Events The Daily Report is emailed to you each morning at 6:30 am with the last 36 hours of events. Part 1 - Enrollee Summary: Report Run Date/Time Enrollment End Date listed in enrollee’s profile Last report from BluTag as of the report run 19 Events The Daily Report Part 2 – Event Activity Summary Number of minutes 20 Blu+ Preparation Preparation 1. Turn on the device by placing it on its charger for at least 4 hours before an installation. 2. Acquire GPS by giving the device a clear view of the sky for 45 minutes. The Blu+ will usually acquire GPS in the first few minutes, but for optimal performance it needs to download the GPS almanac data. Important: • Do not leave devices charging for more than two weeks while awaiting installation. • Avoid charging in the heat of direct sunlight. A piece of cardboard can be used to reduce the effect. 21 Navigating VeriTracks 11 Enrollment Tiles Menu Options Tile Tabs Varying choices within each tile 22 Enrollment Creating an Enrollee Profile 1.
