FOBO MAX is a low energy RF device which is susceptible to attenuation from surroundings (eg. building walls, human body). Detection range varies with different surroundings. App will check if FOBO MAX location is in identified SafeZone. If in SafeZone, no alert. If not in SafeZone, app will alert when tag is out of range.
8 SafeZone & TimeZone SafeZone is a very useful feature to enhance the usefulness of FOBO MAX. When in a safe location, eg. at home, user may not want to be alerted by out of range messages or “take picture of vehicle parking” messages when moving around in the house. User can set SafeZone from the Settings -> Tag Settings screen. SafeZone relies on signals from GPS, AGPS (via GSM network) & WiFi to determine the location. User can set multiple SafeZones for each tag, eg. home, office, friend’s house, etc.

Place the phone in your pocket and hold FOBO MAX in your hand. In an emergency situation, throw the FOBO MAX away from you.
FindME (Belonging profile and Loved One profile) User can activate this function for FOBO MAX both in range and out of range from smart phone. When selected for a tag that is not in connection with the phone (i.e. far away), a GPS location map will be displayed together with time stamp. This screen shows when and where the tag was last disconnected from the phone. There is a Next button to move to FindME screen with signal level indicator.
Don’tMoveME User can activate this function for FOBO MAX that is in range and out of range with smart phone. After activation, an alert will be triggered on the smart phone when the FOBO MAX detects a movement. If the smart phone is away and not in range with FOBO MAX, and FOBO MAX detects a movement, it will initiate a time counter inside the tag.
Note: The SOS alerts are sent out and received using data connection. Please ensure you have data connection via mobile network or WiFi. In some instances, the Helpers may experience some delay in receiving SOS alerts due to the central server response and data connection speed. It is advisable to add a few more Helpers to ensure more people could attend to your SOS alerts more responsively. Warning: Helpers will not receive SOS alert if they logout from FOBO tag app.
