Installing the device

1. Locate the vehicle’s diagnostic port (ODB-II).
   The port is usually located under the dashboard or beneath the steering wheel column. If not located beneath the steering column, look for the port in the areas indicated in the image.
   
   If you cannot find the port, check the vehicle owner’s manual.
2. Log into the Reveal Manager app and choose Device setup. You need this app to set up the vehicle in Reveal.
   
   
3. If your device matches the device shown in the app, choose MY DEVICE LOOKS LIKE THIS.
   If you have a different device, contact Verizon Connect to arrange professional installation.
4. Use the app to scan the barcode that is located on the back of the device.
   If you can’t scan the code, choose Manual input and enter the ESN or IMEI number.
   
   
5. Plug the tracking unit into the ODB-II port.
6. Start the engine and let the vehicle idle for 5 minutes. This will allow the device to acquire a GPS signal.

   • Vehicle name
