Troubleshooting

- Poor battery life: Disable unnecessary features like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or GPS when not in use. Reduce screen brightness. Ensure background apps are closed.
- SOS button not working: Verify that emergency contacts are correctly programmed in the settings. Ensure the phone has network signal and, for location sharing, mobile data or Wi-Fi connectivity.
