2. Setup and Installation

The GV75MG requires a hardwired connection to your asset's power source. Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with vehicle electrical systems.

2.1 Wired Installation Steps:

1. Safety First: Ensure the vehicle's ignition is switched off and disconnect the negative terminal of the battery before starting installation.
2. Identify Power Wires: The GV75MG typically requires a 2-wire connection: a positive (+) wire and a negative (-) wire.
3. Connect Positive Wire: Connect the tracker's positive wire (usually red) to a constant 12V/24V power source. This can be directly to the positive battery terminal or a fused ignition wire. Ensure an inline fuse is used for protection.
4. Connect Negative Wire: Connect the tracker's negative wire (usually black) to a reliable ground point on the vehicle chassis or the negative battery terminal.
5. Secure Wiring: Route and secure all wiring to prevent damage from heat, moving parts, or moisture. Use cable ties to keep wires tidy.
6. Mount the Tracker: Choose a discreet and secure location for the tracker. Ensure it is not exposed to extreme heat or direct impact. The device is IP67 waterproof, but proper placement can enhance longevity and signal reception.
7. Reconnect Battery: Once all connections are secure, reconnect the negative battery terminal.
8. Verify Power: Check for indicator lights on the device (if present) to confirm it is receiving power.

After installation, the device needs to acquire an initial GPS signal. For best results, leave the device in an open area with a clear view of the sky for 10-15 minutes, or drive the vehicle for a short period. This allows the tracker to connect to GPS satellites and the cellular network.
