Lightbug User Manual Page 16 of 62
Step 2: Setting up GPS and WiFi Safe-Zones These settings will help you save battery life in areas where tracking is not required and where the tracker can report its location less often.
Setting up GPS Safe-Zone: Selecting “Set up a Safe-Zone” will open a map where you can create a geographical safe zone for the tracker. Simply tap or click on the map and start creating your custom polygon that covers the area you want.
Note: When setting up this type of safe-zone, it is advisable to make it at least 50m by 50m to account for GPS inaccuracies. Caution: When the tracker is inside this safe zone, it will only report according to its sleep interval settings (more information in the following steps) Setting up WiFi Safe-Zone: Setting up your WiFi Safe-Zone will allow the tracker battery to last longer.
Caution: When the tracker is inside this safe zone, it will only report according to its sleep interval settings (more information in the following steps) Step 3: Setting up fall detection and button press This step allows you to set up fall detection and how the tracker behaves when the button is pressed. The fall detection feature alerts you when the tracker has been dropped or the person wearing it has fallen. Note: Enabling the fall detection feature will automatically create an alert.
Step 4: Setting up wake mode update interval This step allows you to configure how often you want the tracker to update its location when it is moving outside the safe zones. Hint: Motion sensitivity can be adjusted in the advanced settings section as explained in the following section.
Step 5: Setting up sleep mode update interval This step allows you to configure how often you want the tracker to update its location when not moving or when inside a safe-zone. Hint: Longer intervals between location updates will increase battery life so it is advisable to set this to 12 hours. Caution: If your tracker moves outside the safe-zone it will wake up straight away, regardless of this setting.
Step 6: Applying the settings By pressing the button on the tracker the new settings will be applied immediately.
Note: You can skip this step if you do not have your tracker at hand, this will mean the tracker will update its settings the next time it is scheduled to send a location update. Configuring your LightBug Tracker using manual configurations: This section outlines the more advanced settings available to advanced users who want to tweak their tracker to better suit their needs. To unlock these settings you will have to select “Manual Configuration” in your Tracker Settings Tab.
Setting up custom wake and sleep mode intervals You can adjust wake and sleep mode intervals via these settings if you are not happy with the preset settings in the setup wizard: Lightbug User Manual Page 25 of 62
Hint: You are able to set the wake mode interval to seconds if you select “0 hrs” and “0 min”, this will unlock a box that will allow you to input a custom number in seconds. Setting up Breadcrumbs Breadcrumbs is a great power saving feature that allows your LightBug tracker to record location updates between transmissions, giving you more details with every location update while saving your battery.
Example on how it works: Say you only want your LightBug tracker to send location updates every 30 minutes but you would like to see more location updates between these 30 minute transmissions. So you set up the Breadcrumbs value to 10, meaning the tracker will record 10 location updates between each transmission (one location is saved every 3 minutes) and send these saved locations all together in one go at the 30 minute mark.
Movement Settings: This enables you to change how sensitive your LightBug tracker is to motion and how long it has to remain stationary in order to count as a stop. Adjusting Motion Sensitivity You can adjust how sensitive your tracker is to motion and vibrations via the slider shown below.
Moving the slider all the way to the left (1/5) means the slightest tap will wake up the tracker and trigger wake mode if your tracker is outside the safe zones. Moving the slider all the way to the right (5/5) means the tracker will need more of a shake to trigger wake mode if your tracker is outside the safe zone. Adjusting Wake Mode Timeout You can also adjust how long the tracker should remain still before it transmits a location update and enables sleep mode.
GPS Settings This allows you to program how long the tracker should wait on a GPS signal before resorting to other location technologies and how long it should wait on a more accurate GPS signal once it has a GPS fix. The first field allows you to select how long the tracker should wait for a GPS signal before giving up and using WPS or GSM triangulation. The second field allows you to select how long the GPS should run for after getting a GPS fix in order to improve accuracy.
Misc. Behavior Settings There are further settings that you can enable. Again we advise you not to change any of these unless you are certain you know what you are doing.
