Before you begin

Device types covered:

• Powered asset trackers (Equipment Asset Tracker)
• Non-power asset trackers (Asset Data Device - Battery and Equipment Asset Tracker - Battery)

Updating the check-in settings

To update the check-in settings:

1. Go to Admin > Fleet and device list.
2. Search for the asset in the list.
3. From the Actions menu, click View device details.
4. On the Device Details page, click Settings.
5. Scroll to the Check-in settings section.
   
6. Click the down arrow to open options.

7. Select a check-in rate for your device type.

   For non-powered asset trackers, setting a check-in rate of more than 4 times per day will significantly increase power consumption and shorten the tracker’s battery life.

   Daily check-in rate	Powered Trackers	Non-Powered Trackers
   Once a day / Every 24 hours	x	x
   Twice a day / Every 12 hours	x	x
   Three times a day / Every 8 hours	x	x
   Four times a day / Every 6 hours	x	x
   Six times a day / Every 4 hours	x	N/A
   Eight times a day / Every 3 hours	x	N/A

8. Locate the Check-in rate when moving field.
9. Click the down arrow to open options.
10. Select an interval:

    • For powered trackers: 30 seconds or 90 seconds.

      By default, powered trackers check-in every 30 seconds when moving if the tracker is receiving external power. When no external power is received, the trackers check in once an hour.

    • For non-powered trackers: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 45 minutes.

      For non-powered assets, we recommend that you only use the Check-in rate when moving setting for assets that rarely move. If an asset is moved daily, this setting will increase power consumption and shorten the tracker’s battery life

11. Click SAVE CHANGES.
12. Confirm in the dialog box that appears.
13. Click SAVE to finalize.
    Once saved, your new settings will apply the next time the tracker checks in (usually within 24 hours).
14. To complete the update, move the asset to an area with good network coverage for 5 to 10 minutes within the next 24 hours. This allows the tracker to receive and sync your configuration changes. For powered assets, turn the asset on.
