Registering Your Gameband
You need to register your Gameband before using it, and to do that you will
need an Internet connection. Don’t worry – registration is very quick and easy!
To get started just plug your Gameband into any USB port. You will see the Gameband icon,
or folder, appear. Open it and inside you will see the Gameband icon and a PixelFurnace
icon. Click on the Gameband icon and follow the on-screen instructions. It’s simple!
During setup, if Minecraft is already installed on your computer, you can import all of your
Minecraft data (Worlds, IP addresses, Texture Packs, etc.) to your Gameband. If you have
tons of Worlds and data, the process might take a little while (so either be patient, go take
a walk or leave it to run overnight). You can also skip this step and transfer your data later.
There is a small chance you might have more data than can actually fit onto your
Gameband. If this happens we will skip you ahead in the registration process and you can
go back and manually move over selected Worlds later.
Backing Up Your Worlds
Every time you quit Minecraft, the backup will run automatically. The backup will take longer if
you have done a lot of building, so please be patient. You can always cancel and backup next time
(just try not to get in the habit of always canceling, we want to keep your stuff safe!).
Important stuff that you really need to know! (so please read it!).
FIRST! DO NOT FORGET YOUR PASSWORD. EVER.
The password you create when you register Gameband is used to keep your data securely backed
up on our server. You are responsible for remembering it! If you lose your Gameband and order a
replacement, you will need this password to recover your data.
Product Information
Gameband has a USB3.0 MLC memory chip embedded in a TPU wristband with a metal click-shut
clasp and a 140-pixel LED display. It’s preloaded with the Gameband application, the PixelFurnace
application and Minecraft.
Gameband Backup and Replacement Service
If your Gameband is lost or stolen, you can contact us at [email protected] to order a
new one (at a reduced price). We will try to ship out a replacement within 24 hours, loaded with the
data from your last backup. Simple! However….if you don’t do regular backups and remember your
password we may not be able to get you your Worlds back, so make sure you do both!
Gameband comes with one year of free Backup. After the first year, you can buy ongoing cover. Go
to our website or email us at [email protected] to get more details.
Updating your Gameband
We are always working to make Gameband’s software better. When you launch Gameband, you
may sometimes see a software update alert. Updates don’t usually take long to download and
install, but if you’re in a hurry, you can cancel the update and do it next time.
Sometimes we might need to do a critical software update (meaning we’re fixing some major
bug or we need to update something you really can’t live without). If this happens you will see an
update that cannot be canceled – don’t worry, it should be quick and painless.
Things to DO and things NOT TO DO with your Gameband
To keep your Gameband working properly and in good condition, please follow these simple
guidelines:
•
NEVER UNPLUG
your Gameband when you are either in gameplay mode, using PixelFurnace or
actively backing up your data.
ALWAYS
follow recommended procedures for ejecting the USB
before unplugging (this will be different depending on the Operating System you use).
•
NEVER UNPLUG OR SHUTDOWN
during the initial registration process or when an update is running.
•
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REFORMAT
your Gameband, ever -- even if requested by your
operating system. You could run the risk of losing the Gameband launcher and your specific
game data. Not sure what to do? Contact us at [email protected]
•
ALWAYS FULLY PLUG YOUR GAMEBAND IN
and make sure it is properly connected to the
USB port. In case Gameband doesn’t appear on your desktop, go ahead and unplug the
USB, then plug it in again. Still having problems? Contact us at [email protected]
•
NEVER SUBMERGE GAMEBAND IN WATER.
Gameband is splash-proof (rated IPX-4 in the
IP rating system), which means it can withstand the effects of rain, snow, and other wet
conditions. However, Gameband should
NEVER
be fully submerged in water. Do not shower
with it, and definitely no deep-sea diving!
•
NEVER ATTEMPT TO OPEN, ACCESS, UNSCREW OR TAKE-APART GAMEBAND IN ANY
WAY, FOR ANY REASON.
If you have any problem with Gameband, contact us! Do not
attempt to fix it yourself. In doing so you may damage Gameband and your data permanently,
