Sleep Mode cannot only be activated by double-tapping the button at the bottom right of the main screen, but also through the Audio Menu. As long as it is active, BlindSquare will not read out information to you or determine your location using your device’s GPS and querying Open Street Map and Foursquare for information. We recommend that you use Sleep Mode when you do not need BlindSquare in order to save battery life.

Sleep Mode is the second item in the Audio Menu. To activate it, press Play to enter the menu and press Play again when you hear BlindSquare say “Sleep Mode.” When you want to use BlindSquare again, just press the Play button to wake it up.
