Why is the light sensor blocked?

If the light sensor is constantly exposed to light, alarms are constantly generated, which leads to extreme battery consumption and significantly shortens the battery life. To avoid the constant alarms mentioned above, the light sensor is initially blocked with a sticker.

For optimal performance, we recommend attaching the tracker to a magnetic surface. This way, the light sensor alarm is only triggered when the device is removed from the surface. If you don't need this feature, you can reattach the sticker to extend the battery life.

If you want to receive light sensor alerts, you must activate the "Light sensor alert" option in the Trackilive app in addition to removing the sticker.
