The best way to ensure the maximum battery life from your Locàite.me personal GPS tracker is:

1)  Ensure you charge for 3 to 4 hours at a time. This helps to maintain the battery in good condition.

2)  Increase the time interval between updates (so it updates less and saves battery). You can do this in app by visiting Settings > Device settings > Update frequency “when moving” and “when stationary“.

3)  If possible, position the charging base in a central area of the home so it’s within Bluetooth range of the pendant most of the time when moving around. Make sure to leave it switched on.

When the charging base is switched on and your Locàite.me device is within range (closer than about 15 metres), the map automatically shows the  icon, which represents the saved Home Locàite address.

This feature also helps to greatly extend the battery life, because the GPS receiver remains off when it knows you are at home and automatically activates when you move outside, away from the charging base.

For Watch owners, you can additionally enable the “Extend battery life at home” setting – read more.

If your Locàite.me device doesn’t maintain a connection with the charging base around the home, please consider adding one or more of our clever little battery extending beacons to maximum battery life throughout the whole house.
