It supports 4G LTE-M and NB-IoT networks, robust GNSS positioning, and has a built-in backup battery for power loss scenarios. The device delivers accurate location, telemetry, and input monitoring for fleet, logistics, rental, and equipment tracking use cases. All G70s are shipped with the SIM Card installed and internal battery connected. For full manufacturer specs and a complete **Getting Started** reference, see the official Digital Matter support page: [**Digital Matter G70 introduction and resources**](https://support.digitalmatter.com/getting-started-with-the-g70-bluetooth%C2%AE) --- #### What’s in the Box and Device Features The product is typically supplied with: - Digital Matter G70 4G GPS tracker - Internal backup battery (pre-installed) - Wiring harness for power and inputs - Mounting hardware (may vary by distributor) **Key device capabilities include:** - High-precision GNSS tracking - 4G LTE-M / NB-IoT cellular connectivity - Multiple inputs/outputs for ignition, digital, and analogue signals - Internal LiPo backup battery for tamper/power loss resilience - Rugged weatherproof housing (industry rating IP67/68) For detailed technical specifications, consult the vendor’s spec sheet: [**G70 device spec sheet (PDF)**](https://bluearrowtelematics.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/bluearrow-digital-matter-asset-tracking-spec-sheet-g70web.pdf) --- #### Safety and Pre-Installation Considerations Before proceeding with installation: - Isolate all power sources and follow site safety procedures. - Use appropriate fuses and connectors to protect circuitry. - Mount in a dry, secure location that avoids mechanical stress and moisture. --- #### Step-by-Step Physical Installation ### 1. Choose a Mounting Location Select a position that: - Allows good sky access for GPS reception. - Is protected from moisture and extreme heat. - Is secure and concealed where possible. Typical locations include behind dashboards or inside electrical compartments. --- ### 2. Wiring the Device **Power and Ground** - Connect **+V (DC power)** to a fused ignition-controlled or constant source. - Connect **GND** to a clean chassis ground. **Ignition Input** The correct wiring of the Ignition Input is essential for trips reporting Perspio, connect the ignition wire to a verified ignition source (changes voltage with key position). **Inputs/Outputs** Depending on your telemetry needs, additional inputs (e.g., digital, analog) can be wired to asset sensors. **SIM Installation** Install a 3FF Micro SIM into the SIM slot before power-up. Confirm network connectivity and APN settings as required. Once wiring is complete: - Power up the device - Observe the LED or status behaviour per manufacturer guidance For diagrams of wiring harness and pin definitions, refer to the [**G70 Harness Definition**](https://support.digitalmatter.com/g70-harness-definition). --- #### Verifying Operation ### Location and Telemetry Updates Open the Asset Inspector in **Perspio** and confirm: - Recent GPS timestamps - Correct latitude/longitude updates - Movement tracking where applicable ### Telemetry Signal Checks If telemetry does not appear: - Check device power/ground integrity - Validate installation location is free of GPS blockage - Contact servicedesk@perspio.io if assistance is needed --- #### Troubleshooting Common Issues **No Data Reporting** - Test cellular reception at installation site - Verify power and ground consistency **Poor GPS Fix** - Adjust mounting orientation - Avoid mounting fully enclosed by metal **Inputs Not Reporting (Ignition)** - Confirm correct wiring to designated ignition circuit - Validate correct configuration of input mapping in Perspio - [Introduction](https://help.perspio.io/help/introduction?hsLang=en#main-content) - [How to's](https://help.perspio.io/help/introduction?hsLang=en#how-tos) - [Assets](https://help.perspio.io/help/assets?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Asset Inspector](https://help.perspio.io/help/assets?hsLang=en#asset-inspector) - [Utilisation Module](https://help.perspio.io/help/assets?hsLang=en#utilisation-module) - [Configuration](https://help.perspio.io/help/assets?hsLang=en#configuration) - [Events](https://help.perspio.io/help/assets?hsLang=en#events) - [Servicing](https://help.perspio.io/help/assets?hsLang=en#servicing) - [Asset Configuration](https://help.perspio.io/help/assets?hsLang=en#asset-configuration) - [Device Configuration](https://help.perspio.io/help/assets?hsLang=en#device-configuration) - [Explorer](https://help.perspio.io/help/explorer?hsLang=en) - [Dashboards](https://help.perspio.io/help/dashboards?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Configuration](https://help.perspio.io/help/dashboards?hsLang=en#configuration) - [Reports](https://help.perspio.io/help/reports?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Available Reports](https://help.perspio.io/help/reports?hsLang=en#available-reports) - [Groups](https://help.perspio.io/help/groups?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Security Groups](https://help.perspio.io/help/groups?hsLang=en#security-groups) - [Asset Groups](https://help.perspio.io/help/groups?hsLang=en#asset-groups) - [Geofences](https://help.perspio.io/help/geofences?hsLang=en) - [Workflows](https://help.perspio.io/help/workflows?hsLang=en) - [Administration](https://help.perspio.io/help/administration?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Settings Module](https://help.perspio.io/help/administration?hsLang=en#settings-module) - [Admin Panel](https://help.perspio.io/help/administration?hsLang=en#admin-panel) - [Devices](https://help.perspio.io/help/devices?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Troubleshooting](https://help.perspio.io/help/devices?hsLang=en#troubleshooting) - [Installation Guides](https://help.perspio.io/help/devices?hsLang=en#installation-guides) [![](https://help.perspio.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Perspio%20Logo%20%E2%80%93%20Colour%20White%20%E2%80%93%20large%20%20RGB.png?width=786&height=177&name=Perspio%20Logo%20%E2%80%93%20Colour%20White%20%E2%80%93%20large%20%20RGB.png)](https://perspio.io) 2/50 Yeo St, Neutral Bay NSW 2089 [mailto:servicedesk@perspio.io](mailto:servicedesk@perspio.io) Copyright © 2026 Inauro
