Please check you have a Mini First Gen before proceeding. This Mini First Gen has hard plastic sliding lid and is charged via Micro-USB. If you have a Mini 2nd Gen, please refer to the relevant article. The SafeTag Mini 1st Gen looks like this:   

Firstly, please make sure you have followed all steps in your product setup and activation guide carefully.


If it's still not showing any location, we're so sorry about that. This means your tracker hasn't booted up yet, or it is having network issues.


Could you please follow the following steps?

1. Please ensure that the device has been allowed to charge for at least two hours using the supplied cable. Please make sure that the battery switch is set to the "on" position whilst charging.


(If your tracker was completely flat it may take up to 15 minutes before any charging lights come up.)


2. Please follow the powerup procedure in your manual, which includes:

    a. Sliding open the cover

    b. flicking the power switch and holding the power button for at least three seconds.

    c. You should see two lights come on at this point.


3 Please make sure the SIM is firmly seated in the tracker.


4. Please keep your tracker somewhere open with the logo side facing up in case it is unable to get a GPS or 2G signal


If all above steps fail, don't hesitate to get in touch with us and we can get your tracker up and running.
