How the CyntrX tracking device works

The CyntrX tracking device is actually a “transceiver” which means it transmits and receives information. Similar to a cellphone the CyntrX unit contains a GPS chip for location data, and a GSM chip to relay the GPS location data to the cellular network. As you apply power for the first time, the CyntrX unit works through a learning process of determining it’s location as it performs a series of self diagnostic tests.



After applying power to the CyntrX unit you will observe the diagnostic lights begin to blink. The diagram above shows the orientation of the lights and the function they represent.As the CyntrX unit runs through it’s self diagnostic tests and it acquires a GPS and a cellular “lock”, those lights will go solid and, within 5 minutes, all 3 lights will turn off. The units is now successfully installed and may be tracked.

More information coming soon!
