How do I check if my GPS device is working properly? 



Manual 

If you want to check if your device is working properly, you can do it in 3 ways. 

Checking the LEDs on the device 

You can check the operation of the LEDs on the GPS device, the “Navigate” and “Status” LEDs should flash every second.
If the LEDs are off or on continuously, it means that the device is not installed correctly. 

Works properly 
Navigate LED - blinks every 1 second 
Status LED - blinks every 1 second 

Problem with the unit 
LEDs are off - check the power supply 
Navigate LED on continuously - problem with GPS signal, device is obstructed by metal parts.  

Checking the parameters in the mobile application 

Another way is to check the operation of your device in the MyCar GPS mobile application. 
To check your device in the mobile application, go to the “Parameters” tab.



In this window, pay attention to:

1. GSM signal - a scale should appear here, if it is highlighted in red it means the device has no GSM signal 

2. GPS signal - the scale should appear here, if it is highlighted in red it means that the device has no GPS signal 

3. Voltage level - information about the voltage level should appear here, if the level is very low and the dot above the voltage value is red, this means that the device has no power. 

4. Device status - here you should see information about the status of the device, if the icon is red, it means that the device is not transmitting current data. 



Checking parameters in the web application 

The last way is to check the parameters in the web application.
To do this, log into the mycar.tekom. pl application. 

After logging in, go to the "Vehicles" tab and check the colour of the status of the device: if you see a red icon there, it means that the device is not transmitting current data. 




In addition, check the other parameters of the device.

Click on the vehicle and go to parameters. 
Check the following here:

- GSM signal - signal value should be above 1

- GPS signal - signal value should be above 4 

- supply voltage - the voltage value should be above 5V



If the above parameters are lower than the indicated values, check whether the device has been installed correctly.
