|
|
What is the difference between the
SCI-3100-INT and the SCI-3100-EXT and where can I
mount it? |
| The
SKY-3100EXT model has an external (EXT) GPS antenna.
If you have to place the unit underneath the vehicle
and do not have enough room inside bumper you may need
the EXT version. For inside the car placement most people
get the INT. You can place the INT model in the glove
box, in the bumper, under the front or rear dash, and
even under the seat. Under the seat placement is not
really recommended but we have received numerous reports
on how well the unit works even hidden under the seat.
See GPS
antenna placement diagram. |
|
If the batteries go dead before I am able to retrieve
the unit, will the tracking data be lost. |
| Of
course not. The unit uses flash memory which does not
need a battery backup. |
|
Are the SkyTRX SCI-3100-INT or SKY-3100-EXT units
waterproof? |
| The
units are very water-resistant. However we do not guarantee
the units to be 100% waterproof. When placing the unit
on your vehicle, make sure it is not subject to splashing
water. Our warranty does not cover water damaged units. |
|
How many days can I expect the SKY-3100 unit to
last without the batteries going dead? |
| With
regular alkaline AA batteries you can expect about 36
driving hours. Therefore, if the car drives about an
hour a day, the batteries will last for over one month.
If you use Energizer Lithium batteries, the batteries
will last close to 80 driving hours (2 to 3 months). |
|
How often does the SKY-3100 unit record data? |
| The
SCI-3100 unit records a data point every second. If
you are using the AA batteries to power the unit, you
can always leave it on this default setting. Decreasing
the recording rate does not affect the battery life. |
|
Do I need to worry about filling up the memory of
the SKY-3100 unit? |
| No.
The unit stores 300 hours of driving. Most likely you
will download the data and replace the batteries before
it fills up. |
|
Does this unit work anywhere in the U.S.? |
| Yes.
Everywhere in all 50 states. |
|
Does this unit work in any other countries? |
| Yes.
The unit will work anywhere in the world. The software
includes an interface to satellite imagery for the entire
world and street maps for the following countries: USA,
Canada, Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, Czech
Republic, Germany, Denmark, Spain, Finland, France,
UK, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands,
Norway, Poland, Portugal, San Marino, and Sweden. |
|
What kind of cable comes with it to download the
tracking data? |
| The
unit comes with a USB download cable. |
|
Does the software run on a Macintosh computer? |
| Although
the software that comes with the SKY-3100 is not written
for the Mac, it will run using the Macintosh Virtual
PC. For more details about using the SkyTRX SKY-3100
with a Mac, you can contact our technical support department
at support@skytrx.com. |
|
Can the SKY-3100 unit be permanently connected to
the vehicle’s power? |
| Yes.
We have power cables available. Contact us if you need
one or order one with your unit. The power cable price
is $8.99. We also have cigarette lighter power cables
available for $12.99. |
|
What is the warranty on the SKY-3100? |
| The
SKY-3100 GPS unit comes with a full 1 year warranty. |
|
Do I need to subscribe to a monthly service in order
to get this to work? |
No.
There are no monthly fees or activation fees.
This is not a real time tracking system. The real time
tracking systems are the ones that require monthly fees
and contracts. Most people prefer the SkyTRX SCI-3100
technology for this very reason.
Remember, to find out what the driver has been doing,
you connect the GPS tracking unit to your computer and
it will give a complete history including speeds, locations
stopped, and how long they were stopped. |
|
Can I use this system for stolen vehicle recovery? |
| No.
You need a real time tracking system to do that. Real
time tracking systems are more expensive and require
a monthly service fee. |
|
Does this unit have a motion sensor in it? |
| Yes.
The unit turns on as soon as the vehicle starts moving.
When the vehicle is stopped for more than 4 minutes,
it will go into a sleep mode to conserve battery life. |
