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.
Only for Belonging Profile, user will be reminded when moving out of SafeZone without
bringing the belonging together.
Note: In certain areas without WiFi and with weak phone reception signal, user may
encounter a delay or error in SafeZone notification. This is due to the phone is
unable to determine its location accurately and the instant where phone reception
signal returns to normal and the phone is able to determine its location, the alert
will sound immediately. At times this may be a few hundred meters away from the
intended distance from SafeZone.
There could be times when user does not wish to be reminded, e.g. leaving home for a
movie at night, a reminder to bring laptop may be annoying. To avoid this alert, user may
use TimeZone. TimeZone only works for Belonging Profile. When set for a particular
SafeZone tied to a particular tag, there will be no alert when user leaves a SafeZone
during any time that falls within the set TimeZone. However the reminder alert will still
work in spite of TimeZone set if user takes the belonging together outside the SafeZone
and accidentally leave the belonging behind.
