Smart Battery Saver

For maximum uptime, your device will fall asleep automatically if it is not moved for more than 15 minutes. As soon as it feels a vibration, it will start operating again. When the battery charge level reaches about 10%, the A*LIVE switches itself off to save energy for emergencies. You can then use the A*LIVE again for a few minutes before it switches itself off again.

 

How can I still save the battery?

Pack the A*LIVE warm and do not place the device under roofs etc. as long as it is switched on! In Iridium mode the device connects to the satellite regularly to check for new messages that might be waiting for you - even if tracking mode is deactivated. Therefore you should allow a clear view to the sky, so that not too much energy is needed for this connection to satellites.

The A*LIVE will fall asleep and wake up automatically under the following conditions:

+ 15 min not-moving

+ GPS speed 0 km/h

 

1. place the A*LIVE centrally on the QI charge pad (inductive charge)

2. make sure that the charge pad is activated (e.g. when using PowerBanks without power) If the ALIVE is completely empty, the placement may be "sensitive" to a few millimetres.

3. during the charging process the blue LED on the charger lights up - additionally only on the switched on A*LIVE the POWER-LED #1 red, when fully charged green.

10 seconds after disconnecting from the charger the A*LIVE can be switched on.

 

What is SmartSafety?

Calls for help ... even if you can't do it yourself!

Automatic monitoring & emergency call system for early recognition of critical situations. Reduces rescue response times by up to 90%. With companion rescue navigation.

 

Every year more than 20,000 people are involved in accidents in the outdoor sector.

Things usually only become critical when friends and helpers do not become aware of them early enough.

Or do not know your exact position.

Or no emergency call at all is possible because only 10% of the earth is covered by mobile phone networks.

We deliver the missing 90% via satellite.

And we call attention to you early enough.

With your exact location.

 

 

For each scenario (e.g. manual SOS or automatic CRASH/HALT alarm) different notification chains with a 2-step escalation can be created. Example: First SmartSafety reports your position via SMS/email to friends and team for companion rescue. At their request or after a timeout, without reaction, professional rescue facilities such as mountain rescue or coastguard (via 112/GEOS) are then activated, which if necessary continue to communicate with you or your stored emergency contacts.

 

Go to https://protegear.io à SmartSafety. A default setting is already done!

1. Profiles: set the monitoring scenarios for your activity

2. Tours: set the geofences (SAFE, DANGER and REST zones)

3. Notifications: store your alarm recipients (SMS, EMail, Telegram, ...)

4. Trace: compile who is alerted, when and at which event

5. Contacts: enter the emergency contacts that can be contacted by a rescue control centre such as GEOS in the event of an SOS or escalation!

+Global 2-way text communication with the A*LIVE (SMS, Email and more)

 

ProteGear offers real and completely independent email addresses for your A*LIVE for all term contracts. For the first time ever, global email communication is now possible at uniform, low costs in the remotest corners of the earth, on all oceans and even the poles: 100% global!

 

A personal email address for your A*LIVE has already been created. (name@protegear.global)

You can create filters, length limits and a CC address so that messages addressed to the device are also forwarded to your "normal" email, e.g. when A*LIVE is switched off.

 

1. preset messages, which are created under the handlers and sent directly on A*LIVE

2. if you use the app under Chats, you can send SMS and receive and send text messages via email.

 

For changes to the current configuration (default value: 160 characters, no filters) or to set up an additional desired address, please go to

Here you can create actions for any other function of the device in addition to the text templates and receivers for the message key.

Default settings are 1x MSG key = "Everything OK", 2x MSG = "Need help", 3x MSG = "Come back", each with GoogleMaps link of the current position.

 

Preset messages are quick and easy messages to send to inform friends and family about your current status.

You can store as many recipients as you like.

The device needs a clear view of the sky to acquire the signals from the GPS systems (NavStar, Glonass, Galileo) in order to calculate its current position and obtain the time stamp. The more satellites are "seen" by the device, the more accurate is the positioning. Under unfavourable reception conditions (canyons, under roofs, etc) this can result in deviations of 100 or more metres. Immediately after the start of the device (usually within the first 2-5 minutes) the positioning is still inaccurate for technical reasons.

 

The A*LIVE has an eSIM built in, which can log into almost all GSM (2G/4G) networks worldwide. It automatically connects to the best available network at the respective location. In the 4G area, the new "NB-IoT" technology according to NB1 / M1 standard is used, which is currently being activated by more and more countries. It will remain available when upgrading to 5G.

 

The device requires a clear view of the sky to transmit messages and track points via the Iridium satellite network. Without a clear view of the sky, the device will attempt to transmit data until it detects satellite signals.

Restricted reception or very delayed transmissions are to be expected in narrow mountain or house canyons or dense forests.

TIP: You get the best satellite connection if you carry the device on your backpack (top) or on your upper body. Limitations: Iridium works technically global, for Russia a pre-registration is necessary, in India satellite systems are generally prohibited. Other countries where you should get up-to-date information before importing and using Iridium are China, Cuba, Chad, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Libya, Nigeria, North Korea, Sri Lanka, Sudan (status 2018).
