be submerged in water or under high water pressure. We do not recommend swimming, showering
or bathing with the watch on.
MATERIAL
The watch’s wristband is made out of non-allergenic silicon and the face is made of plastic.
BATTERY
The watch has a 410 mAh LiPo (lithium-polymer) battery that will last up to 60 hours on a single
charge (depending on usage and mode).
TOUCHSCREEN INTERFACE

CHARGING YOUR HEREO WATCH
The hereO GPS Watch has a micro USB port for charging the device via the included power adapter.
To charge the device:
1. Connect the USB cable (male)
to the USB power charger
2. Connect the power charger to
your wall outlet
3. Connect the Micro-USB
connector (male) to the hereO
GPS Watch
Depending on usage, your device can last up to 60 hours on one charge. You can check the battery
level of your watch through the app. It is strongly recommendable to charge the device every evening,
as to not nd yourself with only a few hours left of battery life just when you need it the most. Just
plug the device to the charger in the evening and remove it the next morning, before your child
leaves the house.
CHARGE INDICATORS
Your watch should take approximately 2h to be fully charged. Charge indicators are as follows:
“OFF”: Will display on the screen when the battery is at and needs to be charged.
“SYNC”: Will be displayed when connecting to the server
“CHRG”: Will be displayed on the screen during the charging process.
“FULL”: Will be displayed on the screen when the watch reaches its full charge.

USING THE HEREO WATCH AND FAMILY APP
CREATING SAFE-ZONES
Safe-Zones are virtual geo-fences
around a pin point on the map
that enable you to receive push
notications anytime one of your
family members enters or exits the
predened perimeter. While the
hereO app will learn your child’s
routine and periodically suggest new
Safe-Zones, you can get right to it after
the setup.
TIP: Safe-Zones help extend your device's battery life and we recommend that you create one for
each place where your child usually spends a lot of time.

12
ADDING FAMILY MEMBERS
You can add a family member at any
time by clicking on the arrow in the
top-right corner of the Feed screen.
After clicking the menu, a dropdown
menu will appear where you can invite
a new member.

13
You can also add or remove members
at anytime directly via the “Members”
section on the Main Menu.
WATCH'S SETTINGS
From within the hereO Family app,
select the watch user and click on
"Settings". You will be prompted with
a list of the watch's operating modes
as well as time format (time zone,
and 12/24h clock display) and panic
alert settings. Operating modes are as
follows:

14
DAILY MODE
This mode regularly updates the
location of the watch on the family
map and sends Safe-Zone breach
notications as they occur.
STAND BY
This is your battery saver mode.
While you will not receive any push
notications for Safe-Zones, you can
request a location update at any time
via the “update” button. You will still
receive panic alerts and low battery
alerts.
EMERGENCY
This is a live tracking mode. Once
activated, the app will continuously
track the watch and feed the map with
real-time updates. This mode is power
hungry and will quickly consume the
watch’s battery capacity, so please use
sparingly.
FLIGHT MODE
This mode will shut down all
communications to and from your
watch.

15
WIRELESS LEASH
The watch has a Wireless Leash feature that uses bluetooth to create a proximity sensor. When this
feature is activated, you will be notied if your child wanders to far away from you(or whoever is
holding the phone with the hereO app).
You can activate the Wireless Leash by
clicking on the shield icon on the
watch user’s home screen.
Note: Wireless Leash only works on
watch users. You cannot use Wireless
Leash on another app user.
When the feature is activated, the
shield icon should change from white
to blue background.
You'll be notied if your child wanders
more than 30 meters away from you (in
an open space). Additionally, you can
deactivate this feature by clicking the
shield icon again, and the background
color should revert back to white.

16
ADJUSTING THE TIME ON THE HEREO WATCH
The time on your hereO watch can be
adjusted by selecting the appropriate
time zone from within the settings on
the hereO Family app. Simply select
the relevant user, click on "Settings"
(gear icon), and adjust the time zone
as well. You can also choose how you
would like time to be displayed on the
watch, 12h or 24h format.
ACTIVATING THE PANIC ALERT
You can control what happens when the child activates the alert on his/her watch.
To issue a panic alert from the device, press the bottom half of the watch screen and hold for 3-4
seconds. A successfully issued panic alert will ash an SOS message on the watch display.
When the Panic Alert is activated from the watch, a push alert and backup email will be delivered to
each and every family member with the last known location of the watch that issued the alert.
