The QuoTrax®-Box

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is Box1.png

The antenna in the QuoTrax®-Box sends out a signal every 20 minutes. With the help of this technology the delivery date and time of the test letters containing a Transponder is recorded on the QuoTrax®-Box.
In order that the Transponder can receive the signal, it is very important that the QuoTrax®-Box is placed in the letter box in such a way that the test letters will lie on or right next to the QuoTrax®-Box.

Therefore, please leave the test letters on or right next to the QuoTrax®- Box for at least 20 minutes so that the data can be captured.

1 – Recharging of the QuoTrax®-Box

  • Please recharge the box before the first installation.
  • As soon as the charge level of the battery is below a certain limit (approximately twice per year) you will receive an email from us.
  • After receipt of this email, we would kindly ask you to collect the QuoTrax®-Box from your letter box as soon as possible. Please do not wait too long as otherwise the QuoTrax®-Box will switch off automatically.
  • VERY IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the QuoTrax®-Box is turned off before you recharge it. (The switch needs to be turned to “OFF”).

2 – Preparation of the charging station

  • Along with your QuoTrax®-Box you receive a charging station from us.
  • As soon as the charging station is plugged in (please use the cable provided) a green light is turned on in the middle of the lower bar.

3 -Placing of the QuoTrax®-Box

The correct placing of the QuoTrax®-Box on the charging station is very important in order to charge the QuoTrax®-Box successfully.

Please note the following:

  • The QuoTrax®-Box has to stand upright, with its back towards the charging station.
  • The designated areas (marked with the circle symbol) on the QuoTrax®-Box and charging station need to face each other.
  • The QuoTrax®-Box has to be placed in the middle of the charging station. The arrow on the front side of the QuoTrax®-Box needs to point to the light in the middle of the lower bar of the charging station.

4 – Does the QuoTrax®-Box recharge correctly?

  • The light is permanently BLUE when the QuoTrax®-Box has been placed correctly.
  • Please wait for 10 seconds to check if the light is permanently BLUE. In case the light just flashes blue or changes to green the position is incorrect.
  • It may take several hours to recharge the battery completely. We recommend to recharge the QuoTrax®-Box at night.

5 – The QuoTrax®-Box is recharged

  • As soon as the QuoTrax®-Box is recharged completely, the light will flash alternately BLUE and GREEN.
  • Now you can install the QuoTrax®-Box in your letter box.

6 – Activating the QuoTrax®-Box
