Low Power Mode is not to be confused with Power Saving Zones. The optimum way to save battery life is to set up a Power Saving Zone for your tracker. To do so, follow the steps in the article linked here.
To help you conserve the battery life of your Tractive GPS tracker, you can enable Low Power Mode.
By enabling the Low Power Mode, the battery of your tracker will last longer. However, the tracker will detect fewer positions in default tracking mode (the reporting interval will be decreased to every 10-60 minutes). Therefore, on the History tab, the tracker's path will not be so accurate and Virtual Fence outbreaks may be delayed. When Low Power Mode is enabled the battery icon on the map will always show the battery in orange colour.
The Low Power Mode will, however, not affect LIVE Tracking mode; when LIVE mode is enabled you can still expect a position report every 2-3 seconds.
Follow the steps below to enable Low Power Mode:
Through the Map tab:
- On the Map tab, tap the tracker icon in the top right
- Under Tracker Settings select Low Power Mode
- Toggle the button to the right to activate Low Power Mode
Through the Account tab:
- On the Account tab, select your pet’s tracker
- Under Settings, select Low Power Mode
- Toggle the button to the right to activate Low Power Mode
