Info

Your Bad Elf can be configured to shut itself down when certain conditions are met.

  1. Open the Bad Elf GPS app and select your Bad Elf from the Menu.

  2. In the central pane of the settings select Power Settings.

  3. Select the Auto-off when Idle entry.

  4. Chose the time interval that makes the most sense for your usage scenario.
