Please check you have a Mini Second Gen before proceeding. This Mini has an attachment point and a rubber flap covering the sim and charging port. If you have a Mini 1st Gen, please refer to the relevant article. The SafeTag Mini 2nd Gen looks like this:

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

This means your tracker hasn't booted up yet, or it is unable to establish a network connection.

Could you please follow the following steps?

1. Please ensure that the device has been allowed to charge for at least 2 hours using the supplied cable.

2. If the device is currently in a vehicle, it may have had its signal blocked, please ensure that the device is in an open space, moving the device may yield better results.

3. Please ensure the sim is seated correctly within the tracker, it may have been knocked loose / inserted the wrong way round by accident. It will click when inserted into the tracker correctly. The symbol above the SIM tray shows which way to insert the SIM into the tracker.

4. Please ensure that the tracker is switched On, using the switch under the rubber flap.

5. Please ensure that you are in an area where there is 4G or 2G signal, so that the device can establish a network connection.

If all above steps fail, please don't worry! Get in touch with us and we can get your tracker up and running.
