5. Battery advice
Battery life depends on the network, signal strength, temperature, features,
and accessories in use. For maximum performance, please note the following
guidelines:
• New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may take more time to charge
• When charging and storing your battery, keep it near room temperature
• Never expose batteries to temperature below –10°C (14°F) or above 45°C.
• It is normal for batteries to gradually require longer charging times. If you
notice a significant change in your battery life, it is probably time to purchase
a new battery.
WARNING: Dispose of properly and according to any applicable state or local laws.
Never dispose of batteries in a fire because they may explode.

Geofence
Geographically fenced zones (Geofence Zones) can be created to show
permissible or restricted areas for your vehicle(s) to operate in. These zones
ensure vehicles do not stray from their designated routes. If a restricted zone is
entered, an alarm will be sent.
Park/Motion
If the unit is set in parking/motion the device will send an emergeny alarm
notification if mSafe is moved from its setting point.
Speed limit
An alarm will be sent if the vehicle goes faster than the set speed limit in the device.
Battery
If voltage is under 3.7V, the unit will not enter the normal turn-on procedure,
instead it will advise the user with the red light. Another situation is that the
battery voltage is under 3.5V to cause low power during normal operation, the
unit will notify the center. It will then show the red light on the device for the
low battery and shut the GSM and GPS off until the battery voltage is reaching
