Spacetalk Kids works on mobile phone technology and as with any mobile phone, we recommend to charge it each night so that it is ready for the next day.
The location update frequency that can be set through the Spacetalk app settings menu will have an impact on battery life. We recommend setting the location update to 30 minutes and using the Location on Demand feature in case you need to check the child's location.
The number of telephone calls made and received from the watch during the day will also impact the level of battery charge.
Display brightness settings may also have an effect on battery life. The display brightness can be adjusted by swiping down at the clock screen. We recommend 50% brightness level.
The 'Lift to Wake' function in the settings menu is switched off by default but can be turned on in the settings menu. When turned on, the screen may illuminate frequently during normal use. We recommend to set this to off for normal use and improved battery life.
Please also check your SIM card has not run out of credit. You can check this by making a brief call from the watch to your phone. We have found in many situations, the SIM card has run out of credit and this causes the data connection to stop working. Spacetalk repeatedly tries to contact our server and drains the battery very fast during this process.
Please also check that you are using one of our recommend SIM card providers. When using a non-recommended SIM card, Spacetalk may be having difficulty with receiving the network signal and may at times be disconnected to the network. This may cause excessive battery consumption with Spacetalk is constantly trying to search or hunt for the network repeatedly.
