4.1 Familiarization with your Somewear Device

You understand and agree that it is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the operation of your Somewear Device, including reading your User Manual, available at Somewearlabs.com/FAQ. You agree that you will use the Somewear Device only in accordance with those instructions. It is also highly recommended that you review the Help available at Somewearlabs.com and practice properly using your Somewear Device by sending test messages and fixing your GPS coordinates as described.

4.2 Important Tips

Your Somewear Device needs a clear view of the sky to obtain a GPS signal and provide the most accurate location information. It is not reliable indoors or in a cave. Orienting your Somewear Device so that the Somewear logo and on/off LED are oriented to the sky will improve performance, and you should keep your Somewear Device at least 12 inches away from other GPS devices and mobile phones. Please read your Quick Start Guide or User Manual and follow the instructions to pair your Somewear Device with a smartphone.

4.3 Message Schedule

Redundancy is built into your Somewear Device to ensure more of your messages are transmitted. It is normal for some Somewear messages to be blocked by everyday conditions; the view of the sky is often blocked due to hills, buildings, or other obstructions. This is why Somewear automatically retries messages until it receives a satellite acknowledgement. Placement of your Somewear unit can make a difference. Experiment with placement until you are familiar with the reliability of your operating environment.
