will turn it on.
Power saving mode/GPS goes to sleep
We have set your device to power saving mode in
order to prolong time between charges.
How usage affects battery
Like a mobile phone, how the alarm is used will
affect battery life. In the home, connected to the
home charging station via Bluetooth and only used
in emergencies, the alarms will last 4-5 days.
If the alarm is taken out of the home or is activated
(pressing the SOS/Heart button), calling into or out
from the alarm or sending text commands to the
device will lessen time until charging is required.
How the GPS works
Your LiveLife alarm has a GPS function that
monitors the location of the wearer of the device
as well as Bluetooth.
It uses this GPS function to send out the location of
the wearer as part of the SOS help text messages.
The location of the wearer is shown on Google Maps
as part of those messages. This means the people
who received the message on their mobile phones
know where to send help to.
Accuracy of the GPS: uBlox 8 technology
The GPS location is normally accurate to
approximately 2.5 metres. This rate of accuracy can
be affected by tall buildings and other obstructions.
To save power the GPS goes to sleep
The GPS function goes to sleep to conserve power if
it does not detect any movement for around 10
seconds.
What wakes up the GPS?
The GPS wakes up and attempts to connect to the
satellites when it detects some movement
(two shakes or movements) or the alarm is activated.
When is the battery fully charged?
The RED light on the side of the alarm will be
steady on. You can also check with the text
command:

The device does not need to be turned off
We do not advise the wearer to turn the device off to
save power. If you are not wearing it, place it in the
charging station. Please leave your home charging
station plugged in and turned on at all times.
Using other chargers
To be safe, only use the power adapter supplied with
your Live Life alarm. Other adapters may damage the
device and void your warranty.
