Powered by OBDII port
The tracking device is only live when powered by an OBDII port.
When powered:
- Tracks and reports position
- Contributes to the ABAX Global Network
When disconnected:
- The device has a small battery to minimise ‘cold starts’ so a new position is found quicker. Otherwise, the device does not track position while disconnected.
- Sends out power loss notification
