These information screens inform you that your mobile phone will be used for location determination and sending the location information to the Abeeway Location Engine in order to save battery on the Smart Badge.
Now you have to pair the Abeeway Mobile Application with your Smart Badge. The pairing enables your mobile phone to accurately determine the location and transmit location data to the Abeeway Location Engine whenever the Smart Badge is in Bluetooth range. Please be aware that your device should not already be paired with your phone. If it is, you will need to remove the Bluetooth bond between the phone and the device. You can find detailed instructions on how to do this in the mobile app’s HELP menu, under the section that explains how to remove the Bluetooth bond on both the Smart Badge and the phone.

Take note that if your device’s icon displays a Bluetooth icon on the right edge, the mobile app will relay your phone’s position instead of the tracker transmitting its own GPS/WiFi position over the LoRaWAN® network. This is done to preserve the battery life of the tracker.
