If you purchased the Petrek GPS-4 for use outside New Zealand, the tracker will not come with a SIM card.
You will need a compatible 3G or 4G prepaid SIM card from a telecommunications company with good signal. Ensure the plan charges minimal fees for data usage, as each update uses about 0.017mb. Verify the fees before purchasing the SIM, as some providers may charge high rates.
For instance, in New Zealand with Vodafone or in Australia with Awaysim, minimal costs are incurred for small data usage, allowing $20 NZD credit to last for a year. For Australian users, we suggest opting for Awaysim or Telstra, topping up without selecting any prepay plans. Upon activating and crediting the SIM card, consult the video below for the SIM installation guidance, ensuring that the back cover is not overtightened. Excessively tightening the back cover screws could lead to cracking and result in a breach of waterproofing, which will not be eligible for warranty coverage.
After fitting your SIM card, ensure the device is powered off, put it back on charge, and return to our main Petrek GPS-4 setup guide
