Keep its typical, light-use and always-on claims separate from standard-mode claims. GPS power saving identifies an intermediate reduced-accuracy GNSS saving preset. Source notes retain the maker's preset name and published conditions. Max battery GPS is the distinct maximum-saving claim. When the maker has only one GPS saving preset, it is GPS power saving.

It is not the Square manual. A map-download instruction incorrectly refers to Wi-Fi although exact quick parameters and maker connectivity table do not publish Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi standards/bands are omitted rather than inherited from this instruction.
