How your Saphe Drive Pro works

Once you have set up your Saphe Drive Pro in the Saphe Link app and created a subscription, you become part of our big, awesome traffic community where road incidents are reported daily.

You will receive alerts when two people independently report an incident within 10 minutes of each other - the incident will then appear on the map.
If you are the first or second person to drive past an incident without being alerted, you can help the community by reporting the incident.

This is how you Saphe Drive Pro works: 

It will automatically start up and connect to your phone when you get in the car. The Saphe Link app will then run in the background on your phone.

• For it to work in the car, Location must be set to Always

How to report alerts:

It's easy and safe to operate your Saphe Drive Pro without losing focus on the road.

• 1 Press the red button: Report hazards on the road.
• 2 presses of the red button: Report car in emergency lane.
• 1 tap on the blue button: Report mobile speed checks, such as speed cameras.
• 2 press the blue button: report a speed change.

How to confirm and dismiss warnings:

How to charge your Saphe Drive Pro: 
 

It needs to be charged with either a USB-C connector or a Micro-USB connector, depending on which model you have. 

• We recommend charging it overnight so that it is fully charged. It takes 8 hours for a full charge
• On average, a fully charged Saphe Drive Pro holds power for about 2 months.
• We don't recommend having a charger plug plugged in all the time as it can reduce battery life.
