How can I change the language between French and English?
The app’s language will reflect your smartphone’s default language. Change your smartphone’s default language settings to English or French, then open your default internet browser on your smartphone to clear the cache after installing the app.
For English, check that you are using English (Canada) so the units of measurement in the app appear in metres.

Check the tracker’s battery level on the app
Let 2 minutes pass before trying again
Turn off, then turn on your smartphone and try again

Why is the “Safety Zone” feature not working?
Ensure your Safety Zone is a minimum of 150 metres
Delete the Safety Zone and try setting it up again
Check your tracker’s profile to ensure you have set up the location update settings
Is the Safety Zone appearing in yards instead of metres? Check that you are using English (Canada) for the smartphone’s language settings so the units of measurement in the app appear in metres
The tracker location is not showing on the map
Ensure location services on your smartphone are on
Check the tracker’s battery. If it blinks red and beeps once every 5 seconds, you will need to charge the device because it has a low battery
Also, please see the inaccurate location Q&A below
What do I do if the tracker is “not responding” within the app?
Confirm your tracker is powered on
Confirm your tracker has sufficient battery by putting it on the charger. Solid yellow means it is charging or solid green means it is fully charged
Press

Why are locations inaccurate/incorrect?
Check the timestamp to see if the location is current
The strength and accuracy of all the signals used to find locations can be affected if the tracker is inside a building or vehicle, surrounded by hills or tall buildings or near a large body of water
Why am I not receiving notifications from the app?
Ensure your location notifications are turned on
You may need to reset the size of your Safety Zone if the Safety Zone is surrounding an area where the signal is not strong
Notifications could be delayed due to system checks
I want to turn the notifications off.
Go to the menu or tap on the user/tracker
Change your location update settings to a less frequent setting or
