JBV1 requires an ESP-enabled V1 (Bluetooth dongle required) or V1 Gen2 (Bluetooth built-in) Radar Locator to function properly.

For V1s prior to V1 Gen2, JBV1 also necessitates one of the following Bluetooth adapters to establish communication with your V1:

* V1connection
* V1connection LE (recommended)

Both of these Bluetooth adapters are readily available from Valentine Research Inc.

Permissions:

* MODIFY PHONE STATE is exclusively used to enable your device's speakerphone in specific "force speaker" scenarios.

* READ PHONE STATE is solely used to detect when your device is engaged in a phone call, improving the suppression of alert audio during calls. No call-related information is ever accessed, stored, or transmitted.

* RECORD AUDIO is employed solely for optional voice control functionalities.

JBV1 incorporates an optional Accessibility Service that offers the following optional automation features:

* Splitting your screen after app startup or via voice control (Android 7+)
* Locking your screen during app shutdown (Android 9+)
* Capturing a screenshot using voice control (Android 9+)

This Accessibility Service is entirely optional and is disabled by default.
