Following these procedures ensures that the device is fully operational after the device is installed. a) Prior to installation in a vehicle, the device should be checked for serviceability. This should begin with a thorough inspection of the exterior of the tracking device housing. The housing should have no significant signs of damage such as dents or cracks. There should be no sign of water leakage into the housing. b) The device should be fully charged prior to deployment. The AIO3.0 connects to a standard USB connection on a PC and provides the capability to charge the internal battery. See the figures below to gain access to the USB charging port. c) When charging the Status LED will be RED indicating the battery is being charge. If the LED does not illuminate when connected to the USB port this indicates the battery is fully charged or that there may be a problem with the USB connection to the PC. d) Press and hold the Power On/Off button for a brief (1 second) period until the Power LED turns on. The LED will illuminate sold and then start to flash from a fast to slow This document contains information and data which is proprietary to Presidio that shall not be duplicated, used, or disclosed - in whole or in part

- for any purpose other than to evaluate this product. AIO3.0 Users Manual PRES058-150422 REV 4 After confirming the device is fully functional select an intended installation location that will assure the device can be securely fastened to the vehicle and that the device has the least obstructed view of the sky. The device comes with an auxiliary mounting case that comes with internal magnets that will support most installations. For those cases where a magnet will not secure the device one can use tie-wraps or whatever other appropriate means to secure the device to the vehicle. The installation location is vehicle dependent however care should be taken that the GPs and Cellular antennas must be located facing away from the mounting structure. Position the GPS antenna (Side with the three LEDs) so that it is not obstructed with metal. Some installation locations may require that the device be pointing towards the ground. 3.1.2 Non-Vehicle Installations As above, confirm the device is fully functional before installation. Installation locations are based on the asset structure and the same care should be taken to provide the least amount of obstruction to the GPS and Cellular antennas within the device. Do not install the device within a total metal container or structure. 3.2 OPERATING PROCEDURES After the Device has been set-up, tested, and installed it is monitored and controlled by the mapping application. Refer to the Map AGenT Users Guide for complete operating and tracking functions of the AIO3.0. 3.3 PROBLEM PROCEDURES There are no user servable parts within the AIO3.0 device. It is imperative that the device be tested prior to deployment to ensure the unit is fully functional. If the AIO3.0 fails during deployment confirm the device is powered on and that the battery is charged. If so try to communicate with it using the mapping application, if you are successful than most likely the installation location may have caused the unit to not function properly. Select a new installation location and test unit as necessary. 3.4 MALFUNCTIONING GPS If during deployment the device does not report a navigation report and it is known to have worked prior to deployment then in most cases the GPS antenna is blocked and the unit cannot receive adequate signal to calculate position. Several external factors can cause this issue which may or may not be resolved once the vehicle moves from its current position. If the device continues to not report position data then the device has malfunctioned and it should be removed and returned to Presidio for evaluation and/or repair.
