SageTracker Battery Interval Change Instructions
High Performance Mode
Please contact customer support if you have any
questions regarding these commands.
There are many factors that may interfere with an over the air command sent to your tracking device, and we are therefore unable to offer any guarantee regarding this process. We record each command sent to the unit, and sending any over the air command to a SageTracker Battery device other than those listed below is a violation of your service agreement and may result in the deactivation of the device and termination of your service agreement.
Please note that this procedure is for SageTracker Battery units shipped after March 31, 2007 only. If
you do not have a messaging window on your tracking
account, please contact customer support for
assistance.
Set Power Mode
The ST Battery has two power settings which can
be set by sending the device an over the air
command:
- High Performance Mode: In high performance
mode, the GPS chipset is always on while the device
is in motion, allowing for faster reporting rates.
The battery life while in High Performance Mode is
about 12 hours of motion, regardless of the
reporting interval.
- Power Conservation Mode: The battery life
of the ST Battery can be dramatically increased if
slower reporting rates are acceptable. If you
are using any reporting rate other than Maximum, you
should set the device to this mode in order to
conserve battery power.
Step 1: Log on to the web based tracking account.
Step 2: Click the “Launch Messaging Window”
button. If you have more than one tracking device in your account, be sure to select the proper vehicle to send the command to in the pull down menu in the center of the window.
Step 3: When the messaging window opens, cut and paste the appropriate command string from the tables below into the small rectangular window at the bottom of the screen:

Important! The Reporting Interval listed is
valid for a device with good visibility to the GPS
satellites in Power Conservation Mode. Obstructions between the device and
sky may make the reporting interval longer than listed
in the table.
Step 4: After you have pasted the command into the messaging window, press “Send” to send the command message. The text in the very bottom left hand corner of the messaging window browser should change from “Ready” to “Sending” and then to “Sent”. At this point you can close the messaging window.
Step 5: Go to the home page of your tracking website and select “Today’s Track” and the click “Show Me”. The outgoing message string should be shown under the column labeled “Messages”. The outgoing message will not be received by the device unit until its next reporting cycle, which will occur at the next time the device detects motion (if the unit is already in motion, a new reporting cycle will occur at the device’s programmed Report Interval).
