1Introduction
FOBO TAG is a wireless device using Bluetooth®5.0 technology to monitor your
belongings. Please ensure that your smart phone has Bluetooth®4.0 or above capability
in order to use FOBO TAG.
Before starting to use FOBO TAG, please download the FOBO TAG 3 App to your smart
phone, FOBO TAG 3 App is available free of charge on Google play store..
2About FOBO TAG
As we go about our daily life, we are inundated with a lot of information and many things
for us to remember. With FOBO TAG, we aim to bring convenience to your daily living
by providing timely reminder or alert when you forget your belongings or about to lose
sight of your loved ones. FOBO TAG working with your smart phone applications could
monitor your loved ones or belongings from anywhere within Bluetooth range. (Note:
The distance varies according to different environment or surrounding e.g. building walls,
metal objects, human body, vegetation & water could affect the RF signal).
Attach FOBO TAG to your personal items such as your handbag, laptop bag,
luggage, car key or any important belongings, and FOBO TAG will monitor them
for you. When you leave any Tagged belonging behind, RemindME function will
trigger your phone to alert and remind you to take your belonging with you. We
understand that at times you might not want to be disturbed by RemindME alerts;
example your laptop bag is safely placed at home and you are on the way leaving
your home to the cinema. Our smart SafeZone feature working with TimeZone
will prevent an alert. However during weekday, when you leave your home to the
office and forget your laptop, TimeZone will know it is time to go to office and it
will prompt an alert to remind you. (Note: SafeZone utilizes GPS/AGPS of your
smart phone to determine location. Turn on Wi-Fi on your smart phone for better
accuracy.)
When you misplace any belonging you can use FindME to search for it. Example
a car key misplaced under your sofa. FindME will be able to indicate the signal
strength for you to estimate how far you are away from your belonging. The
FOBO TAG can also be triggered to beep for ease of locating your belonging. But
if the TAG is not within vicinity, FindME will also display the GPS location
(with time and date) where your belonging was last disconnected with the phone.
This will help you trace where you misplaced your belonging. You can also locate
your smartphone with the help of TAG, you just need to long press “FOBO button”
on the TAG and your smartphone will loudly ring- even on silent, to disable the
search again long press the FOBO Button.
You can also use FOBO TAG to monitor your belonging to ensure nobody moves
it. For example your desk drawer with important things inside. Just place a FOBO
TAG in your drawer and activate Don’tMoveME function. Once the drawer is
moved and you are within Bluetooth range, you will get an alert on your phone. If
you are out of range, you will get an alert with movement records showing the

5 | P a g e
movement history log when your phone gets back into Bluetooth range with the
FOBO TAG in your drawer.
For frequent traveler, you could imagine the boredom of waiting for your
checked-in luggage at arrival hall after a long tiring flight. Activate PromptME
feature for the TAG inside your luggage and you will get an alert once the
luggage get into range with your phone, typically within bluetooth range (Note:
Bluetooth range varies depending on surrounding things or building structure).
You are free to move around without having to wait beside the luggage carousel.
When you need to walk into a dark and quiet area, e.g. back-street or under-
ground car park, you may want a method to alert your family members or friends
for help immediately in case you get into danger. With SOS.ME, you can set
FOBO TAG to watch over you for up to 60 minutes.
All the above are example use cases of how you could use FOBO TAG. There are many
other ways of using FOBO TAG with all these smart features. Example, placing a FOBO
TAG by the main door with Don’tMoveME activated, to warn of any intruder. All you
need is to understand how the features work and with a little bit of imagination, you
could make FOBO TAG work better and more suited to your lifestyle needs.
We have designed FOBO TAG to work with coin cell battery (CR2025) so that you do
not need to worry about charging the device. FOBO TAG is also dust and splash proof
(IP54) to allow you to use it outdoor without any worry.
DISCLAIMER: FOBO TAG IS NOT AN ANTI-THEFT OR ANTI-KIDNAPPING
DEVICE. PLEASE CONTINUE TO TAKE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES
AND TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY OF YOUR BELONGINGS OR LOVED
ONES AGAINST THEFT OR KIDNAPPING.

e) Rotate/close back the battery holder. Do ensure the battery
holder is properly locked.
The coin cell battery (CR2025) could last up to one year on normal operation. Frequent
beeping and movement of the FOBO TAG will consume battery power and reduce
battery operating life.
It is advisable to change the battery once you get the battery alert to ensure proper
performance of FOBO TAG. Do not wait until battery is fully drained as you may never
know when you need to use FOBO TAG urgently.
You should be able to purchase CR2025 battery from your local electronics store or On-
line stores (search CR2025 in your web browser).
