The SaveFamily app's optimal configuration recommends deactivating Night Saving Mode and the LBS system for better battery life and accuracy, while setting the map update frequency to every 10 minutes to balance location updates and energy use. Users should save changes, regularly fully charge devices, update the app, and restart the watch after configuration changes for best performance.
Configuration in the SaveFamily App
Follow these steps to adjust the key settings:
General Settings: Night Saving Mode
- Recommended status: DEACTIVATED.
- What it does: This function is designed for very specific use at night. Keeping it deactivated during the day significantly improves overall battery life.
- Tip: Activate it only if it is strictly necessary for night-time monitoring.
Map Settings: Update Frequency
- Where it is: Go to Settings within the Map screen.
- Optimal configuration: Select "Normal Mode" and set the frequency to "every 10 minutes".
- Benefit: This interval offers a perfect balance between updated location and efficient battery consumption, avoiding unnecessarily frequent updates.
LBS Settings (Location via Mobile Towers)
- Recommended status: Completely DEACTIVATED.
- Why: The LBS system uses mobile phone towers to estimate location, which is usually less accurate than GPS and, in many cases, consumes more battery unnecessarily.
- Benefit: Deactivating it allows for significant energy savings and favors the use of GPS for more precise location.
Optimal Configuration Summary
| Configuration | Recommended Status | Main Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Night Saving Mode | DEACTIVATED | Longer battery life during the day. |
| Map Frequency | Every 10 minutes | Balance between real-time location and energy saving. |
| LBS System | DEACTIVATED | Significant battery saving and greater accuracy. |
Quick Steps to Apply the Configuration
To apply all settings at once, follow this path in your app:
- Open the SaveFamily App.
- Go to the Settings menu (general or from the map).
- Deactivate the "Night Saving Mode" option.
- In the Map section, set the update frequency to "every 10 minutes".
- Find and completely deactivate the "LBS" option.
- Save the changes.
Additional Battery Tips
- Perform full charges regularly to calibrate the battery.
- Make sure the SaveFamily app is updated to the latest version available in your app store.
- After changing important configurations, consider restarting the watch for the new settings to apply correctly.
- Remember that Night Mode or Power Saving Mode is designed for specific, occasional use; keeping it permanently activated will limit functionalities and is not necessary for daily savings with the configuration recommended above.
