How to Charge
Connect one end of the USB charging cable
(1) to a USB port and the charger end (2) with
two gold teeth into the allotted slot on the
underside of the PingMe GPS watch phone (3)
for charging as pictured below. (Usually needs
1-2 hours for charging fully.)
Be careful not to damage
the two gold teeth.
They need to be an even
length and aligned to connect
and charge correctly. The display will show a
‘filling battery’ animation if its charging.

Live Tracking
Tap the “Live Tracking” button
on the App. The position of the
PingMe watch will be returned
and indicated on the map by way
of an arrow.
Depending on the location of the child,
the PingMe makes use of 3 different technologies to try pin-point the
position, which will be labelled on the flyout on the map. It will start with:
1. GPS - this is mainly for outdoor positioning, 5m - 15m accuracy.
2. LBS (GSM), mainly for indoor positioning - 500m to 3km accuracy.
3. Wifi mapping, for indoor positioning, it supports the triangulation
used with the aforementioned technologies.
Both the LBS and Wifi mapping are ‘Area indicators’ of the child’s
whereabouts. Even though it is not as accurate, it could be a
valuable starting point.

We’ve selected a Vodacom sim for you, based on
our experience with network coverage, we felt it was a good
choice, as our PingMe is only as good as the connection.
You may however find that your area is more condusive with
another provider, and you’re welcome to swap out the
micro sim with a provider of your choice.
Please note: if your sim is not used for 3 months,
the number will be given to another customer. So its important to make
AND receive at least 1 call every 3 months to keep your number active.
This is enforced by the telecoms, and has nothing to do with PingMe.
