Battery life of Yepzon trackers depends on modes and selected settings (see section 3:
Modes). Battery life may also vary according to following reasons:
• Operating conditions e.g. in cold temperatures battery might drain faster.
• How much the device moves: Smart Tracker uses battery saving while being
still for longer periods of time.
• Available networks: Smart Tracker supports the new battery saving 4G LTE
networks but changes to 2G if 4G LTE is not available. Network availability,

3 Modes
Smart Tracker by Yepzon™ has three dierent modes: Constant Tracking mode, Ondemand tracking mode, and SOS button only mode. The SOS alert always works the
same way in all modes. You can change the mode by choosing the Mode tab and
then selecting the mode you want to use.
3.1 Constant tracking mode
In Constant tracking mode, the Smart Tracker automatically reports its location
based on the set connection interval.
Please note the following:
Reporting interval Usage
14 minutes or less Device can send temperature and
collision alerts.
Device saves battery by only updating the location if device
is moving. Being still in a smoothly moving vehicle, e.g. train,
the device might not be able to interpret movement.
15 minutes or more Device saves battery by going into sleep in-between the
longer intervals. For this reason, device is not be able to
send sensor alerts. SOS alerts will work normally with all
interval settings.
Example: Mary uses Smart Tracker’s Constant tracking mode to track her child’s journey
to school. Mary uses 5 minutes interval setting so she will receive the location of the
tracker every 5 minutes. If Mary wants to improve the battery life of her Smart Tracker,
she changes the interval setting to 15 minutes, as then the Smart Tracker uses battery
saving.
3.2 On-demand tracking mode
In On-demand tracking mode Smart Tracker locates only on demand: device is always
online and ready to start the locating when requested.
7
Between location update requests, Yepzon™ App might show location estimate that
is based on GSM towers. To activate the GPS / Wi-Fi locating, tap the Update location
button in the Yepzon™ App map view. The locating starts immediately, and each
session lasts for 3 minutes; a session can be repeated sequentially as many times as
needed.
Feature available summer 2019:
Show only GPS / Wi-Fi locations = The Yepzon™ App will only show GPS / Wi-Fi
locations instead of also showing location estimates based on GSM towers. Yepzon™
App will always show the last known accurate location that has been received by
updating the location. New updates can be received only by tapping Update location.
Example: Lisa wants to use Smart Tracker with her dog who oen runs away, and she
attaches the Smart Tracker to her dog’s collar. She does not need to know constantly
where her dog is but if the dog runs away, she wants to be able to quickly check its’
location. If she needs to check the location, she simply taps Update location from the
Yepzon™ App and the tracking starts usually within a minute.
3.3 SOS button only mode
In SOS button only mode Smart Tracker can only be located by pressing the SOS
button on the device. Otherwise, the device is oine, and it cannot be located
from the Yepzon™ App. Aer an SOS alert is sent, the tracker changes its’ mode
automatically to On-demand tracking mode. (See also 4: SOS alert)
Example: SOS button only mode can be used when you want to have a personal
alarm for someone who doesn’t need active tracking on the Yepzon™ App and does
not want to pay attention to the battery.
3.4 Location accuracy
The Smart Tracker uses GPS and Wi-Fi for positioning. If GPS signal is not strong
enough (e.g. indoors) and Wi-Fi hotspots are not present, a rough position based on
cellular towers is shown.
Accuracy of the position is dependent on signals available and the details can be
checked by tapping the location pin on the map. GPS accuracy is typically around
5-20m and Wi-Fi 20-50m. If you see a light red circle around the location pin, only the
cellular tower location has been received. Accuracy of a cellular tower location is from
few hundred meters to several kilometers.
Note: In some cases, GPS signal reflections might cause the location to shi a little.
These reflections might happen if the device is indoors, by water, or around tall
buildings.

same way in all modes.
When the SOS alert has been sent, the alert will appear on the Yepzon™ App. The App
will also show the location of the alerting tracker for 5 minutes. The alert must be
acknowledged in the Yepzon™ App and aer it has been acknowledged, the locating

The alert can be cancelled by pressing the SOS button on Smart Tracker for 3 seconds
again. The alert must still be acknowledged in the Yepzon™ App.
Once the SOS alert has been acknowledged in the Yepzon™ App, the indicator light on
the Smart Tracker will be green for 3 minutes.

tracker is not connected to the network. If SOS alert fails, the red indicator light starts
blinking on the Smart Tracker device.

6 History
The History view lets you check the tracker’s previous states and locations either on a
list or map view.
You may filter the history data by selecting a date/time range. Locations can be also
connected into a route by lines with direction arrows. The history data can be viewed
backwards until the moment the device was paired.
Symbol explanations:
Filter history data by date and time.
View the history data on map.
View the history data on list view.
Connect the locations into a route by lines with direction arrows.
Set date and time to filter history data.
Note: Wide date range and inaccurate locations may cause the route to look not clear.
Note: If you want to receive better route information, we recommend using Constant
tracking. In Constant tracking mode, the Smart Tracker sends its accurate location at
regular intervals.
7 Geofencing
Geofencing allows you to create virtual fences to notify you when device enters
or exists a specific zone, e.g. home or school area. You can create maximum of 10
geofences and use them at the same time.
Geofencing can be used only in Constant Tracking mode. Geofencing works with any
tracking interval length, but it is recommended to use frequent interval settings (5
minutes or less) as longer interval settings result to delays with notifications on enters
or exits.
How to create or modify a geofence:
1. Open the Yepzon™ App
2. Select the Yepzon device
3. Select Geofencing
4. Select Create new or the geofence you want to modify from the list
5. Map view opens: Select the shape for the geofence, adjust the size and
location. The corners of a square and a polygon can be moved by first
pressing and then dragging.
6. Select Create/Save
10
How to remove a geofence:
1. Open the Yepzon™ App
2. Select the Yepzon device
3. Select Geofencing
4. Select the geofence you want to remove
5. Map view opens: Select the trashcan
6. Select Delete
Aer creating a geofence, you can select if you want to receive notifications on
enters or exits, and if you want to have the geofence to show on the map in the
Location tab.
Note: If the geofence is small, due to tracking restrictions (see 3.4 Location accuracy),
you might receive false notifications of enters or exits. In some cases, GPS signal
reflections might cause the location to shi a little. These reflections might happen
if the device is e.g. indoors, by water or around tall buildings. In cases like this, it is
recommended to slightly increase the size of the geofence.
Example: Mary uses Smart Tracker’s Constant Tracking mode to track her child’s
journey to school. Mary also wants to be notified when her child enters or exits the
school, so she creates a geofence zone around the school area. Mary uses 5 minutes
interval setting so she will receive the location of the tracker every 5 minutes. Every
morning and aernoon, Mary receives a notification of her child entering and exiting
the school, with a maximum of 5 minutes delay. If Mary wants to improve the battery
life of her Smart Tracker, she changes the interval setting to 15 minutes, as then the
Smart Tracker uses battery saving.
Tip: Geofences cannot contain complex shapes (edges must be straight or concave;
convex shapes are not allowed). If you want to create more complex shapes, you can
create two geofences and place them side by side.
