Here are some Questions and Answers
regarding the LandAirSea 8100
LandAirSea 8100 - FAQ's
Is the
8100 waterproof?
Although
the 8100 comes with three high performance magnets for
mounting and o-rings around the major openings, we do
not consider the 8100 waterproof. It will effectively
receive GPS signals under the vehicle but it is the
customer’s responsibility to protect the unit from road
hazards including inclement weather condition. The 8100
warranty does not cover water damage or lost units.
How long
does the Lithium-Ion battery last?
Since
the 8100 is motion activated, battery life will depend
upon the number of hours the vehicle is in motion per
day and the frequency of the transmission updates.
Please check the specifications page for more details.
Will
changing the updating frequency affect the battery life?
Yes.
The more frequent the 8100 updates, the more resources
are needed to capture and transmit the information.
Can the
8100 be hard-wired to the vehicle?
Yes.
The 8100 comes with an external power port and cable to
connect to an always-on hot lead on your vehicle.
Will the
internal battery take over if the 8100 is hard-wired and
the vehicle loses power?
Yes.
The internal battery will charge from the vehicle’s
charging system and will assume full 8100 system
operation if the 12V power is lost.
How long
does it take to install?
If used
as a portable system, it will only take seconds as the
8100 is completely portable. If you want to hard-wire
the 8100 to your vehicle, the most common location is
underneath the dash. This will provide for the 12V
connectivity and provide a secure location. If you wish
to install the 8100 in this location, you may want to
consider taking the unit to a qualified audio alarm
installer or mechanic. Installing the 8100 inside the
engine compartment is not recommended as the device will
be surrounded by metal and impedes the GPS reception.
Where
can I place the 8100 unit?
The 8100
incorporates the same sensitivity as our Land Air Sea
Tracking Key. Therefore, it can easily be hidden in
most areas within the vehicle or even underneath the
vehicle against the steel frame (please see the
following statement regarding waterproofing).
How
strong are the magnetic mounts?
Land Air
Sea utilizes high performance magnets providing
effective mounting of the device. This are the same
magnets utilized in the Tracking Key series. Since the
8100 is larger than the Tracking Key, we have mounted
three magnets to the bottom of the case.
What are
the different plans of service?
There
are three different plans to choose from. Plan A is
$14.95, Plan B $29.95, and the unlimited data plan (Plan
C) is $59.95. These plans are per unit purchased.
There is also a one-time activation fee of $ 19.95 and
the first month of service is charged in advance.
How do I
determine which plan is best for me?
Please check the specifications
page to determine which plan is best for you.
Is there
a contract for the monitoring service?
Yes.
Since the 8100 transmits the GPS data over the Verizon
Wireless® network, a data plan is required for a period
of twelve (12) months. Once the initial contract is
complete, the service will become month to month (please
see our terms and conditions below).
What are
the terms and conditions of the monthly service?
The
terms and conditions of the monthly service coincide
with the Verizon Wireless® data plan service. Since the
8100 is not a cell phone, some of the conditions do not
apply. You can review these conditions by clicking the
following link.

Can I
still get second by second data with a lower cost data
plan?
Yes.
One of the key benefits of the Land Air Sea 8100 is the
ability to change the rate of tracking on the software.
Most systems require manual configuration. However,
each time the 8100 transmits data, it is utilizing
bandwidth. You will have to use this feature sparingly
if you have a $ 14.95 or $ 29.95 plan.
How do I
know if I am staying within my data plan?
The 8100
software contains filters that will identify usage. If
you wish to upgrade your data plan during the first year
contract, you can do so by contacting us.
What is
the warranty for the 8100?
The 8100
will come with a one year manufacturer’s warranty.
What
kind of reports will I get?
You will
be able to create driving reports based upon the data
transmitted from the 8100 as well as stop reports.
Stops are identified as duration of 10 minutes or more.
What is
your return policy?
Due to
the nature of vehicle tracking and the contractual
agreement signed for service, we do not allow returns.
This is consistent with our existing policy for all of
our products.
How does
the 8100 compare with other real-time systems?
Most
real-time devices transmit data at a minimum of 5 or
more, require hard-wiring or have limited battery life.
The 8100 series is completely self-contained and
portable, highly sensitive, has the capability to
transmit once per second, and was designed under the
same standards that makes Land Air Sea Systems the
leader in GPS asset tracking.
Can I
use the 8100 as a theft recovery system?
Yes.
Since the 8100 has the capability of second by second
transmission and geo-fence functionality, this unit is a
sound choice for theft recovery applications.
