Each device profile has a selection of device marker icon, which will represent it on map and device popup.

![Device icon selection](http://i61.tinypic.com/atmb10.png)
There are several built-in icons and also there is a possibility to upload custom images.

For current running browser it will be applied right after changing setting. For mobile version and other browsers (in another tab, another browser, or another desktop) it will be applied next time latest positions are loaded (by default 15 seconds, can be changed in Settings >> Global ('Update interval')).
To change icon use 'Select...' button in device profile:

![Device icon selection](http://i58.tinypic.com/ohmeyv.png)

Then new screen will show all currently available icons with previews at the right hand side. Both custom and built-in icons are shown here. Select desired icon and click 'OK' to change device marker.

On the 'Maintenance' tab of device profile there is a possibility to define maintenance intervals.

![Sensors tab](http://i62.tinypic.com/2dlp06q.png)

There is an 'Odometer' field used to calculate which maintenance is required at the moment. 'Auto' checkbox indicates that odometer must be updated automatically by scanning of received positions and summing up distance.

'Reset' button sets 'Last service' field to the current odometer value.

It is also possible to copy all maintenance settings from another device. To do that select it in 'Copy from:' drop down list and click the 'Copy from:' button.

When maintenance is required:

* on a map such device/vehicle appears in a red circle
* new event is recorded to the underlying database, which can then be sent as a notification (if enabled in user profile)

On the 'Sensors' tab of device profile there is a possibility to define names, descriptions and visibility of sensors connected to the device.

![Sensors tab](http://i62.tinypic.com/25a4vw6.png)

Each sensor can have it's own set of custom intervals with descriptions. This is helpful to provide a text instead of numeric values. For example for battery level from 0 to 100 following intervals can be defined:

- from -infinity to 19.(9) - Critical
- from 20 to 34.(9) - Low
- from 35 to 69.(9) - Medium
- from 70 to 89.(9) - Good
- from 90 to +infinity - Full

This can be defined with the following intervals (use 'Add' button on toolbar to add new one, 'Remove' button to remove existing):

![Custom intervals](http://i60.tinypic.com/2608l5w.png)

Click 'Save' to save the changes or 'Cancel' do discard them.

It is also possible to copy all sensors settings from another device. To do that select it in 'Copy from:' drop down list and click the 'Copy from:' button. This will copy all settings including the 'Custom intervals'.
