5.1 Real time tracking

There are three kinds of tracking mode. User can select setting in the APP to choose the
working mode.

1. Rapid positioning (1 minute): equipment at 1 minute intervals to automatically

update location information, we don’t suggest choosing rapid positioning model,

because the battery will be draining too fast obviously. We don’t suggest selecting
this one.

2. Standard positioning (10 minutes): equipment updates location information
according to the time of 10 minutes interval automatically. We suggest selecting this
one.

3. Power saving positioning (an hour): equipment in one hour a time to update
location information automatically, the power-saving mode use battery very few. This one
is good for power saving. We also suggest to choose this mode if you want a longer
battery life, but choosing this mode, you can still manually require a real-time positioning
report from the GPS tracker at any time.

4. Maximum power saving mode: This mode can be set in the setting menu of the
APP. The device will not automatically update location information at this mode. The
device battery power consumes very slow in this mode. However you can still manually
require a real-time positioning report from the GPS tracker at any time you want. The
Geo-fence function may not work properly at this mode.

watch will stop dialing after circularly dial twice.

Note: After ordering the caller ID function, if admin number or phone book or any of
the emergency numbers are set, the watch will refuse calling from the stranger
number automatically. Phonebook and Emergency number can be set in completed

mobile phone number answers the call by leaving voice message, the watch will not
dial the next SOS number.
