Why is my device reporting in Chicago?

Your device has not updated yet. Make sure the device is turned on. For the 54, push the included tool into the on/off hole on the side. You will see flashing LEDs. Take it outside for a 10 minute walk or drive. The device will start working when you have (3) solid green LEDs.

I went for a walk or drive and my device still isn’t reporting.

Make sure the device is turned on (you will see LEDs flashing). Place the device on the roof of your vehicle, or somewhere similar, and wait for the device to go into sleep mode (all lights off). Then wake it back up by moving it. If you do not get (3) solid green lights after a few minutes, contact our technical support team at 847-462-8100.

Where should I place the device on the vehicle?

Under the seat, in the glove compartment, and the drivers/passenger seat pocket are great options.  When placed under a vehicle, attach it to a flat metal surface dome facing down.  Test the strength to ensure it is attached securely.  Place it at the lowest point to the ground, and ensure it is within a foot of the edge of the vehicle.  Do not encase the unit in metal, or attach it to high heat sources such as the muffler or tailpipes.

Why am I only getting two solid green lights on my unit?

Your unit has not fully connected with the signals needed to transmit. Take your unit out for a 10 to 15 minute walk or drive. This will allow the unit to fully connect, and update on your account.

How do I know when my unit is fully charged?

When the unit is attached to the charge cable there is one solid red light that will turn on. This is the light located closest to the charge port. If the red light is on solid the unit is currently charging, when this light turns off the unit is 100% charged.

Why hasn’t the battery life updated on my account after I fully charged it?

Your unit needs to fully connect to update the information including the battery life. If you have recharged your unit, carry it outside and hold it in your hand for a few minutes. This will give the unit time to connect, and update your time/date stamp, location, and battery life.

What is Energy Saver?

Energy Saver is a feature that can prolong the battery life of your unit. It disables the motion sensing, and places the unit on a timer instead of waking up on motion. The unit will only be able to send/receive commands when the timer goes off allowing the unit to wake up and connect.

I lost my power key for my 54, can I use something else to power the unit on/off?

We do not recommend using anything other than the included tool to power the unit on/off. Foreign objects may damage the internal components of your unit if inserted too far. Damage caused by foreign objects is not covered under the warranty. You can purchase accessory kits with a new key on our website.

Why am I not receiving notifications through my application?

Check your phone settings to ensure that your SilverCloud App has permission granted to send notifications. If this is set correctly there may have been an issue with the installation of your application. Please uninstall the App, and reinstall it to your phone.

Can you wake up my unit/reboot it remotely?

We can not force a unit to update. The units are motion activated (unless in Energy Saving mode), and will only connect while in motion. If you are experiencing issues with the unit tracking properly please contact our technical support team.

How do I view device history and run reports?

Limited historical playback can be accessed via the mobile app. Other reports are available on the desktop software, accessed via the website tracking interface. ** The history is not unlimited. You can go back up to a year.
