How LifeSAVER Works

LifeSAVER for BlackBerry combines its own innovative technology with BlackBerry built-in functionality.  This provides LifeSAVER the ability to detect when a vehicle is in motion, as well as what speed the vehicle is traveling.  When LifeSAVER is installed on a driver’s BlackBerry, the user or administrator of the phone easily programs the speed at which the LifeSAVER application is to activate and lock down the phone.  From that point forward, whenever the BlackBerry user is driving and reaches the preset speed (e.g. 10 mph), LifeSAVER will automatically kick into action based on your preset rules.  Once LifeSAVER detects a speed less than the preset limit, the user’s BlackBerry will automatically be unlocked for use.

You decide how LifeSAVER will react as it relates to BlackBerry usage while driving.  Maybe you just want LifeSAVER to report excess speed.  LifeSAVER can do just that and nothing more—it’s your choice!

For added safety, LifeSAVER cannot be disabled once the BlackBerry is in lock-down mode.  LifeSAVER also includes administration password protection.  This provides you with ability to install LifeSAVER on someone else’s BlackBerry—such as your teen driver—without the user being able to change or disable, the application without your permission.
