Battery Life
Mode
Standby
Battery Life
Up to 120 hours or 5 days
Active Locator Service Up to 150 Location Requests
Battery life depends on several factors including temperature, network, signal strength and Locator service features used.
Location requests include the following Zoombak Locator service features: “Find Now,” “Safety Zones” mode and “Continuous
Tracking” mode. When your Zoombak Locator indicates low battery
(blinking amber LED), recharge your battery as defined in the section of this User Guide titled “Charging the Battery.”
Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced. The Zoombak Locator battery is not user replaceable; it can only be replaced by an authorized service provider. For more information, go to: www.zoombak.co.uk.

Powering the Car Locator ON/ OFF
In order to power the Zoombak Car Locator on or off, follow these simple instructions:
1. Power ON—Press and hold the Power Button until the Locator Status
LED Indicator begins to glow (approximately two seconds). Blinking
green indicates operation OK.
2. Power OFF—Press and hold the Power Button until the
Locator Status LED Indicator begins to flash quickly (approximately
two seconds). Locator Status LED Indicator will shut OFF when
the Locator has properly shut down. A key feature of your Zoombak
Car Locator during the power off process is that the Locator will
determine its current location and send a power off notification
via email and/or mobile text message with its current location
and time/date information (see the Zoombak Car Locator
Quick Start Guide for details on setting up your alerts). The Locator
Status LED Indicator will continue to blink during the power off
process, which may take up to 2 minutes to complete this important
notification feature.
Monitoring the Car Locator Status
Refer to the following list in order to determine the status of your
Zoombak Car Locator LED Indicator at any time.

Important Coverage Information
Our coverage maps provide high-level estimates of our coverage areas when using your device outdoors under optimal conditions. Coverage isn’t available everywhere. Estimating wireless coverage and signal strength is not an exact science.
There are gaps in coverage within our estimated coverage areas that, along with other factors (network problems, software, signal strength, your wireless device, structures, buildings, weather, geography, topography, etc.), will result in dropped and blocked connections, slower data speeds, or otherwise impact the quality of services.
Services that rely on location information depend on your device’s ability to acquire satellite signals (often not available indoors) and network coverage. Estimated future coverage subject to change.
See www.zoombak.co.uk for coverage map and details.
