Location-Based Services

Activating Location-Based Services 

Enabling the Location-Based Services (LBS) setting will allow KAREWatch™ MG to connect to the nearest cellular tower when GPS is not available. If your provider permits, LBS uses the proximity to the nearest cellular tower in areas where no better sources are available (e.g., in underground parking). Accuracy is 50 m - 1000 m, or 164 ft - 3281 ft. 


  1. On your KAREWatch™ App, go to 'Location Based Services.
  2. 'Toggle on (green)' Location Based Services. 
  3. Then, 'Save'.
