Remember: You do not receive any notification or alert to alert you. Your HOOT Tracker is sleeping.
We have a procedure if you want to reassure yourself by checking that everything works normally : I don't receive notification
IMPORTANT
If you are more comfortable with being able to see a history and receive alerts : stay in "Standard" mode.
This mode will be more suitable.
Consider recharge your HOOT Tracker more frequently : this mode uses more battery since your GPS point history is constant.
