# Level Meter- Activation Procedure

**Before first use, low-cost trackers must be awakened from sleep mode to start measurements and send transmissions. Follow these steps:**

1. Remove the cover from the lens
2. Shake the device several times in the ToF direction.
3. Check the LED on the back of the device.

* If Step 2 was successfully completed, the LED on the back should light up (mode "Always On").
* If the LED does not light up, repeat Step 2.

4. Verify whether the registration was successful:

* Observe the LED:

\+ The LED will blink rapidly for 3 seconds and then turn off, indicating that the device has been successfully activated.

\+ This process can take up to 3 minutes. After successful activation, the LED will not light up even if Step 2 is repeated.

* Observe the LED:

\+ If the LED turns off without blinking, the activation procedure has failed.

\+ Possible causes:

a.  An invalid network.

b.  An issue with Deutsche Telekom's gIoT Cloud platform.

{% hint style="info" %}
The installation location should be chosen so that the tracker is not exposed to strong mechanical loads, such as shock, vibration, bending and twisting forces.

# 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 dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.g-iot.io/level-meter-full-device-guide-book/level-meter-handeling-information-book/level-meter-activation-procedure.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
