PCM Manager first run

When using the PCM Manager mobile app on Android devices for the first time or after re installing the app, certain permissions will need to be accepted before being able to use the app. This includes using location in the background to supplement locator log data.

When you transfer data from the locator, the app may use your current location and add it to the log data.

The app also need other permissions to work, please enable them as follows.
