Getting Started Tab
The Getting Started Tab allows the user to select the Mode of operation for the SmartOne. The Modes
includes:
 Standard Messaging with or without motion
 Reduced Messaging
 Theft Recovery Mode.

Standard Messaging
Standard Messaging Mode - Without Motion
The Standard Messaging without Motion Mode is selected for basic tracking functionality on the
SmartOne. The SmartOne will automatically report its position at regular time intervals. The messages
sent in this Mode are called Location Messages. These messages include the GPS coordinates of the
actual location of the SmartOne.
In this Mode, the motion sensor is OFF.

Standard Messaging Mode - With Motion

The Standard Messaging with Motion Mode is selected for basic tracking functionality with motion
detection capabilities. The user defines the motion parameters for each application including the Level of
Sensitivity of the motion sensor, Time to be in a State of Vibration and Time to be in a State of Lacking
Vibration. The SmartOne can be set to report at a different rate, Message Interval while In Motion,
compared to the Location Message Interval.

SmartOne C User Guide Page 15

9100-0410-01 Rev A

Reduced Messaging Mode

The Reduced Messaging Mode is ideal for asset management with reduced messaging capability of
the SmartOne. The SmartOne creates a Change of Location Area of configurable size around the
device. If the SmartOne stays within its Change of Location Area, the number of transmissions will be
reduced.
When the SmartOne leaves the Change of Location Area and returned to a State of Lacking Vibration
a new Change of Location Area is created around the SmartOne.

Theft Recovery Mode

The Theft Recovery Mode is ideal for assets that are high-risk for theft. In this Mode, the SmartOne
creates a Change of Location Area around its location when powered. The size of the Change of Location
Area is a configurable parameter equal to the distance the device must move to be considered outside
the Change of Location Area. If outside the Change of Location Area, the SmartOne goes into recovery
Mode, transmitting frequent messages until the asset is recovered. The message interval in recovery
Mode is a configurable parameter; however, the default value is 10 minutes.
