Installing Your Wired Tracking Device

• Wiring the device into a vehicle is easy, and requires installation inside the passenger compartment of the vehicle.
  • The MOTOsafety wired device has a series of wires — you will only need to attach three of these wires to your vehicle (the additional wires are for future features or functions).

1. The three wires you need are: the red wire (power), the black wire (ground), and the white wire (ignition sense).
   • Locate a connection point in the vehicle for constant power, such as the fuse box. Remove the insulation on the selected wire.
   • Connect the red wire on the MOTOsafety device to the vehicle's constant power wire. This connection allows the device to receive power when ignition is off and on.
   • Connect the MOTOsafety black wire to your vehicle’s chassis. This connection serves as a ground for the device.
   • Locate the vehicle’s ignition wire (reference the vehicle’s wiring diagram in order to locate).
   • Verify the ignition wire by measuring the operating voltage while the key is turned to the ON or START position (the voltage should read 0 VDC when the key is in the off position, and typically between 11V and 14V when in the ON position).
   • Connect the white wire on the MOTOsafety device to the vehicle’s ignition wire. This connection allows the device to report ignition OFF and ON events.
   • An optional plastic zip tie is included to secure the device under the vehicle dash with the label that reads “Label Side Down” facing down.

2. Confirm the power connection.
   • Following installation, allow 5-10 minutes for the MOTOsafety device to power up and obtain a cellular and GPS fix. Your vehicle must be outside and not in a covered area so that it will receive GPS signal. When working properly, the blue light will blink once every 3 seconds and you will see a blinking green light.
   • You should see your car’s location on the map (may take up to two hours).

NOTE: Should your vehicle require a jump start, you will have to replace the fuse in the wiring harness with a 3 amp fuse.
