2Warnings and safety instructions
Please, do NOT insert the SIM card into the watch before this manual instructs you
to do so.
Please, do NOT take out the SIM card when the watch is powered on. It could cause
damage to the watch.
Please, do NOTimmerse the watch under water. The watch comes with IP66 water
protection, which will protect it even from strong water jets but not from
underwater pressure.
Also, please, make sure the SIM card slot cover is properly closed in order to avoid
water entering the watch. This will result in losing the warranty.
Keep the product away from fire and avoid high temperature environments.
The watch cannot send location information when the battery has run out, there is
no mobile data service (no E symbol on the watch display) or the watch is out of the
GSM network coverage area.
When there is no data service, the watch cannot be located on the map and voice
messages will not reach the phone or the watch.
The watch does not prevent data roaming. It can create expensive data traffic when
used in a different country with the same SIM card.
The product and the mobile app are continuously developed. Their functions and
language can slightly differ from this manual. Use this document as a reference
only.
3Before you begin
Make sure the watch is fully charged before you start the installation. It is
recommended to charge the watch for at least 12 hours before the first use.
Check if the QR code sticker is available and not damaged either on the back of your
watch or on the packaging. Should both QR stickers be unreadable, please, follow
the method to reveal the CID number as described in the FAQ section at the end of
this document.
The watch comes with a quad band GSM chip (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) but it is
recommended to ask your dealer which service operators support your watch in
your area.
The watch operates with a micro SIM card. Normal SIM cards cannot be inserted
and nano SIM cards will damage the watch which will result in losing the warranty.
It is not possible to enter a PIN number with the watch so make sure you use a SIM
card that does not require a PIN number when inserted or remove the PIN security
in a mobile phone before you insert it in the watch.

4Charging the watch
Remove the watch and the charging cable from the packaging. Connect the magnetic
headof the cable to the metallic contacts on the back of the watch (rotate the connector
until the magnets pull it in position) and connect the other end of the cable to a USB power
source.
Charging the watch to its full capacity normally takes 2-3 hours.
However, for the first time, please, charge the watch for 12 hours and 8 hours for the
second and third times to ensure a long battery life.
It is highly recommended to use a good quality adapter for charging the watch.
Please, do NOT turn on the watch yet. You need to install the mobile application first as
described in the next chapter.
5The mobile application (for the guardian)
The TAKIT system consists of two parts. The watch and a linked smart phone that runs the
TAKIT application logged on with a valid user account. One mobile phone can be
connected to several watches and one watch can be linked to many user accounts.
Before you start using the watch, please, set up the mobile application first. This chapter
describes the installation and operation of the software.

Note: in countries where the local mobile number starts with a zero (0),
please, register with an email address. The verification code cannot be sent
to these kinds of phone numbers.
oIf you select Email, the verification code will be sent to you in an email. Once
