sure that the unit is able to acquire an adequate signal from
the satellites. This is indicated by the LED light on the front of
the Shadow Tracker™ unit. The LED will be RED when the unit
is powered on and there is NO signal being received from the
satellites. When there is an adequate signal the LED will turn
GREEN.
Note: Be aware that if the unit has been powered off for 8
hours or
more it may take up to 10 minutes from the time the
antenna is connected and the unit is powered on
for the unit to acquire an adequate signal from the
satellites and the LED to turn GREEN. If it takes longer than
15 minutes to acquire a signal then the antenna must be
moved to a more suitable location. If the LED is not GREEN
then the unit cannot determine the vehicles location or
speed and the system will not function properly.
