# Configuring trackers for increased autonomy

Increasing the Running Time of GL3xx LTE GPS trackers

For long-lasting sports events such as endurance cycling, it is crucial to extend the autonomy of GL3xx devices. You can significantly increase the running time of your device by minimizing the communication between the device and the server.

The tracker management provides four commands to reduce communication and maximize the autonomy of Quecklink GL3xx LTE trackers. Apply the four commands for optimal autonomy:

* **Activate Non-Movement-Detection** - This message enables non-movement detection feature: With no motion detected by the internal motion sensor for a specified period of time, the device automatically enters sleep mode. Communication with the server is reduced to minimize power consumption.
* **Deactivate Heartbeat** - This command stops the periodic messages between the device and the server. Note: This may reduce the stability of the mobile connection.
* **Deactivate (Device) Events** - The device stops sending events such as turning ON, turning OFF, charging, and rebooting. Note: The tracker management receives less information about the current status of the device.
* **Deactivate Server Acknowledge** - The device will no longer wait for a response from Racemap server.
* **Disable the periodical Device Info Report**

With these settings and a report interval of 5 minutes, it is possible to achieve an autonomy of four days and five hours. The battery decreases from 100% to 20%.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.racemap.com/gps-devices/increase-autonomy-gps-tracker.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
