Wizard Questions | Options | Meaning | Recommendation |
How Restrictive should locking/unlocking be? |
|
This option provides basic setup for how fast the phone will unlock and if Emergency Unlock button is allowed | Less Restrictive provides for more responsive unlocking and ‘emergency unlock’. Good for trusted drivers who have occasional texting problems. |
Allow unlocking as a passenger? |
|
Allows for Passenger Unlock when ‘not’ the driver and notifies monitor | If Teen frequently needs to use phone as a passenger then enable the setting and monitor for abuse. |
Person monitoring the driver? | Select cell phone number | Allows for Parent to monitor emergency unlocks and passenger unlocks | Select the mother or father as the monitor. Or you can set it up as yourself to help curb your own habit. This can also be a bargaining point with Teen if there is resistance to parent monitoring. |
Earn Rewards for Safe Driving? |
|
Allows the Teen to win free $10 eGift cards such as Starbucks, iTunes, Amazon. The more they drive safe and refer LifeSaver to others the more chance they have to win each month | Recommend ‘Yes’ if your Teen likes ‘free stuff’! |
Advanced Settings: | Options | Meaning | Recommendation |
LifeSaver Awake ‘From’ and ‘Until’ hours | AM and PM values | The setting controls when to be fully ‘Awake’ and checking for driving. This allows for slightly better battery consumption of ‘off times’ The default is 7:00AM to 9:00PM | Settings should be increased if your Teen is typically out driving beyond 9PM |
Passcode Lock |
|
Allows the parent to passcode lock settings so Teen can’t disable | Recommended for all to prevent turning LifeSaver off. |
Unlock after stopping (in seconds) | From 1 to 120 seconds | Controls how fast LifeSaver will unlock when the vehicle stops. | Less restrictive wizard setting defaults this to 3 seconds, which can be increased here. This is a tradeoff between responsive unlocking the ability to stay locked during short stops such as stop lights and stop signs. |
