In order to protect your privacy, Vectu reports location only when the help alert was
initiated. It will then transmit location updates every 60 seconds until the device is
switched off or the battery is drained.
After initiating help alert, the status light will blink red until it connects to the
network and gives an estimated position. In the complete absence of a signal, the
status light will blink red continuously.
Vectu uses GPS and GSM technology to determine its location. If the device is
indoors or if the GPS signal is not strong enough, the GPS location data may not
be received. In that case the device location will be based on the cellular network
signal (GSM location), this location is not accurate, but rather an approximation of
the device location. If GPS signal is not available, shaded circle around the marker
on the map represents accuracy of the location.
