• Indicator Light: Turn on/off the LED indicator light.
• Moving Alarm Switch: After this setting is turned on, a moving alarm will be generated if the device vibrates continuously.
• Battery Saver When Not Moving: After this setting is turned on, the device will enter deep sleep mode if it is stationary for 10 consecutive minutes, and all communications will be turned off. It can only be woken up by vibration.
• Set Up Key Alert Name: Modify the alert name of the up key.
• Set Down Key Alert Name: Modify the alert name of the down key.
• Set Temperature Range: E.g., set “-10 to 35” (an alarm will occur if the temperature exceeds this range).
• Temperature: F and C are temperature unit switching options.
