What’s in the box:
MONIMOTO
KEY

2 RELEASABLE ZIP TIES
Also included:
● 2x CR123A batteries
● 1x CR2032 battery
● Micro-sized international SIM card with 2 months of free GSM services within EU
2. BEFORE YOU START
The device can be used with iOS 9.3 or Android 5.0 devices and all subsequent operating systems.
However, your smartphone must also have Bluetooth 4.0+ (BLE) functionality, as the connection
between your phone and Monimoto device utilises this technology.
This is the Monimoto device packed with GSM, GPS, Bluetooth and other smart tech inside. It also
contains micro-sized SIM card and two CR123A type batteries. This unit is the brain of your smart
alarm system with GPS tracking. It is intended to be placed inside your vehicle in order to track it down
in case of theft.

This is a linked KEY, which is kept with the owner and works on a proximity basis. It should be kept
with the owner (not anywhere inside or on the motorcycle) all the time. Monimoto KEY is not supposed
to be used as a key chain and should be kept separate from your motorcycle keys – in your pocket or
backpack. This will prevent you from loosing the linked KEY in case your motorcycle keys are stolen.
Keep Monimoto KEY away from contact with water as it is not waterproof.
Each Monimoto device can connect up to 3 KEYs.
P.S. Pay attention to battery sides when inserting it into the KEY. Battery should be inserted PLUS
side UP.
1. Insert flat screwdriver into special hole and lift
2. Two black plastic pieces should be separated
3. Remove plastic strip- battery insulator. Keyfob LED will blink
4. Firmly close cover till you click sound
Useful tips:
● The maximum Bluetooth signal range between your smartphone and Monimoto unit is 100m
(~330ft) in open area.
● You can add up to 3 KEYs to your Monimoto using the app at any time later within Bluetooth
range.
● If you have more than one vehicle you can use the same KEY for all of them.
● Monimoto is designed to search satellites and deliver the precise GPS location but GPS signal
is usually poor inside the buildings or some other specific areas. In such cases Monimoto sends
approximate location using CellLocate technology.
● Each time Monimoto enters Alarm mode battery drains faster so avoid false alarms to save
battery time.

3. HOW MONIMOTO WORKS
Monimoto has 2 main modes: Ready Mode and Alarm Mode.
IMPORTANT: The app uses internet connection 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 also note that Monimoto is not a ‘real time’ device. It does not have a permanent
connection with the GSM network. Only when the Alarm mode is triggered Monimoto will
connect to GSM network. This method considerably saves Monimoto energy.

3.1. READY MODE
Once you go through the setup wizard and successfully configure your device – Monimoto app will
start showing status “READY”. This means Monimoto is ready to detect any type of movement and
notify the owner if the KEY is not around. You do not need to activate Monimoto in any other way.
RIDING A MOTORCYCLE
Monimoto also remains in Ready mode if owner has a KEY while riding the motorcycle.

3.2. ALARM MODE
When Monimoto senses any type of motion, movement or vibration it will check if KEY is around. If
KEY is not found, the device will enter Alarm mode.
When in alarm mode Monimoto first calls the owner’s number. It will call twice and after that it will push
notification to Monimoto app when precise location data is received from GPS or approximate location
from GSM using CellLocate.
If you answer the first time Monimoto calls it will not call second time and this will result in quicker
delivery of the Monimoto location data to the app. (Don’t worry, you won’t need to speak to your device
and make people think you’re mad. Just hit the “answer” button and the call will end. This way
Monimoto will know that you have been notified.)

By default you will get updates every 5-10 minutes in alarm mode while the movement lasts. Once
your Monimoto-equipped vehicle has stopped moving you will be updated every 30 minutes.
These two timelines illustrate how Monimoto behaves time-wise:

BACKUP SMS
In case of poor signal or network data transmission problems in Alarm mode Monimoto sends SMS
with map link to the owner when the device has stopped moving and stays in steady position for more
than 5 minutes.
IMPORTANT: This device is optimized to work with mobile data sending push notifications in
case of alarm. Backup SMS is only as supplementary channel and has monthly limits as per
Terms & Service.

3.3.EXIT ALARM MODE
These are the 3 main condition for returning Monimoto back to the Ready mode:
●Exit Alarm with KEY. Once the KEY is detected within the range of Bluetooth signal Monimoto
will automatically return to Ready mode.
● Send to sleep by app. Sleep mode can be entered from Alarm mode only when the user
manually chooses to sleep the device. User can put Monimoto to sleep remotely for 1, 5 or 24
hours using the app. This action will deactivate Monimoto and you will not be able to bring it
back to Ready mode until the selected sleep period ends. After that it will return to the Ready
mode automatically, no action is required. This can be useful if you’ve gone for a ride but forgot
Monimoto KEY at home and want to stop receiving the alerts and save battery life. Or if you gave
your motorcycle to a friend but.. forgot to give them the KEY.
● Deactivate by app. You can turn off the Alarm mode by app only when your phone is within the
range of Bluetooth signal. If you open the app and establish Bluetooth connection with Monimoto
on settings Tab– it goes to Ready mode and the Alarm mode ends.

4. PERIODIC CHECK
Monimoto regularly performs a battery check and updates status to your phone. If Monimoto
encounters network issues or batteries are drained and periodic check cannot be performed you will be
notified about that in the app.
The frequency of periodic check can be set using Monimoto app.
IMPORTANT: Frequent periodic checks speed up the drainage of Monimoto batteries so choose
this setting wisely or leave it at the default.
