1. BEFORE YOU START
However your smartphone must also have Bluetooth 4.0+ (BLE) functionality, as the connection
between your phone and Monimoto uses this technology.
In the pictures below you can see Monimoto packed with LTE, GPS, Bluetooth and other smart
technology inside. It also contains an eSIM card (chip soldered to the board) and two FR6 type
batteries. This unit is the brain of your smart alarm system. It is intended to be placed inside your vehicle
and track it down in case of theft.
Additionally Monimoto comes with a Key Fob which is kept with the owner and works on a proximity basis.
It must be kept with the owner (not anywhere inside or on the motorcycle) at all times. Why? If you keep it
on your bike and it gets stolen - the alarm will not start since the device will see the key fob nearby.
The device can be used with iOS 9.3 or Android 5.0 devices and all
subsequent operating systems.

The Monimoto Key Fob is not supposed to be attached to your keys and should be kept separate - in
your pocket or backpack. This will prevent you from losing the linked Key Fob in case your motorcycle
keys are stolen. Each Monimoto device can connect up to 3 Key Fobs. After some time you will need
to change the battery in the Key Fob.
Pay attention to battery sides when inserting it into the Key Fob.
Battery should be inserted PLUS (+) side FACEDOWN to the enclosure.

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND:
• The maximum Bluetooth signal range between your smartphone and Monimoto unit is 50m (~150ft)
in an open area.
• If you have more than one Monimoto you can use the same Key Fob for all of them.
• Monimoto is designed to search for satellites and deliver precise GPS locations but GPS signals
are usually poor inside buildings or places such as: basements, garages, lifts, underground car parks,
concrete buildings, and tunnels. In such cases Monimoto sends approximate locations using Cell ID
technology.
• Each time Monimoto enters Alarm mode, the battery drains faster so avoid false alarms to save
battery time.

2. HOW DOES MONIMOTO WORK
MONIMOTO HAS 2 MAIN MODES  READY MODE AND ALARM MODE.

NO

Is the Key nearby? Wake up Satellites

READY MODE
ALARM ALARM
1 2
IMPORTANT: The app uses internet connections as its primary way to
communicate with the device so it’s highly recommended to keep mobile data
or Wi-Fi turned ON on your Phone at all times.
Please note Monimoto is not a ‘real time’ device. It does not have a constant
connection with the LTE network. Monimoto connects to it only when Alarm
mode is triggered. This helps to considerably save battery time.

2.1. READY ARMED MODE
2.2. ALARM MODE
Once you go through the setup wizard and successfully configure your device – you should see a green
“READY”sign. This means Monimoto is ready to detect any type of movement and notify you if the
Key Fob is not around. You do not need to activate Monimoto in any other way.
When Monimoto senses any type of motion, movement or vibration, the first thing it does is a Key Fob
check. If the Key Fob is not found, the device will enter Alarm mode.
RIDING A MOTORCYCLE
Monimoto also remains in Ready (Armed) mode if the owner has a Key Fob while riding the motorcycle.

When in alarm mode Monimoto first calls the owner’s number. It will call ONCE and after that you will
start receiving push notifications to the Monimoto app. You will see a GPS location if precise location
data is received or an approximate location from LTE network triangulation using Cell ID if GPS is not
available.
By default you will get updates every 5-10 minutes (or every minute if Live tracking is enabled) in Alarm
mode while the movement continues. Once your Monimoto-equipped vehicle has stopped moving you
will be updated after 30 minutes and Alarm mode will be canceled. If movement resumes, the alarm will
start again.

2.3. EXITING ALARM MODE
There are 4 ways an alarm is cancelled and returns Monimoto back to Ready (Armed) mode:
• Exit Alarm with Key Fob. Once the Key Fob is detected within the 10m (~30ft) range, Monimoto
will automatically return to Ready mode.
• Send to sleep by app. Sleep mode can only be activated during Alarm
mode, and only when the user manually chooses to sleep the device. You
can put Monimoto to sleep for 1-24 hours using the app. This action will
disarm Monimoto and you will not be able to bring it back to Ready
(Armed) mode until the selected sleep period ends. When the sleep
period ends it will return to Ready (Armed) mode automatically, no action
is required. This can be useful if you’ve gone for a ride but forgot the Key
Fob at home and want to stop receiving alerts and save battery life. Or if
you gave your motorcycle to a friend but forgot to give them the Key Fob.
• Deactivate by app. You can turn o Alarm mode by app only when your phone is within Bluetooth
signal range. If you open the app, go to Settings Tab and press “Connect” (establishing bluetooth
connection)– it will return to Ready (Armed) mode and cancel Alarm mode.
• If there is no motion for 30 minutes Monimoto cancels the alarm.

3. PERIODIC CHECK
Monimoto regularly performs a battery check and updates status to your phone. If Monimoto
encounters LTE network issues or batteries are drained and periodic checks cannot be performed you
will be notified in the app.
The frequency of periodic checks can be set using the Monimoto app.
We recommend sticking to the default setting and receiving periodic updates everyday. This will assure
you the device is working properly, and will notify you when the battery is empty. By Default periodic
checks are not set to send a location. That can be adjusted from the Settings menu, however we do not
encourage you to have it on since it drains battery significantly to send location updates.

4. GETTING STARTED
STEP 1
Search “Monimoto” in App Store or Google Play Store:
STEP 3
After pairing, hide and attach Monimoto to your vehicle using two zip ties.
STEP 2
Download the Monimoto app and install it on your smartphone.
Once the setup process has been completed you should receive an SMS from
your device. Be sure to add that number to your contacts with an appropriate
name so you recognize it immediately in case of alarm.
IMPORTANT: All the pairings are done only through
the app. Please do not try to pair your Monimoto device
or the key fob directly through your Phone’s Bluetooth
Settings, otherwise the App will be unable to pair.
Run the Monimoto app and follow the on-screen step-by-step instructions that
will guide you through the setup process. Android users, please make sure that
both Bluetooth and location services are turned on.

5. WHERE TO INSTALL MONIMOTO
Monimoto is intended to be placed inside your vehicle in order to track it down in case of theft. After
setting up and configuring your device, hide it in your motorcycle or other vehicle.
Recommended Monimoto installation locations for your motorcycle:
Inside the taillight
cover on the plastic
component
Under the
seat
Inside the headlight
cover around
the speedometer
WARNING!
All antennas (GPS, Bluetooth and LTE) are positioned on the LOGO side of the device. When installing, make
sure LOGO is in front (and not towards the metal parts of the vehicle. This is VERY important, as metal blocks
radio waves and decreases location accuracy and connectivity.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT put Monimoto in an enclosed metal
environment, as radio waves cannot travel through metal!

6. TESTING MONIMOTO
1. Leave your Key Fob at home.
2. Switch o Bluetooth on your phone and close the application.
3. Take your Monimoto-equipped vehicle for a test drive.
4. In approx. 1 minute you will receive a call from Monimoto and soon after push notifications should
arrive to the Monimoto app.
5. Open the app and check whether it is showing the precise GPS or approximate LTE network based
location.
6. If you got precise GPS locations – put the device to sleep using the app to save battery and go home
to take the Key Fob. Congratulations, your vehicle is now safe!
7. If you received an approximate location please re-install your Monimoto in a dierent spot inside
your vehicle. Best satellite signal reception is achieved when the GPS antenna is pointing upwards, or
to the side.
Never install your device with the Monimoto LOGO facing metal vehicle parts, frame or cable
harnesses. Only the back side of the tracker is suitable for attaching it to the bike.
8. Repeat the test drive until you get precise GPS locations.
