Before you can take full advantage of all the options
available to you on your GizmondoTM Device, you will
need to register your Device.
There are two stages to successfully registering your
GizmondoTM Device.
1. Device Registration
2. Online Registration
When you are registering a GizmondoTM Device there are two ways in which
an individual can register themselves in relation to the Device. There is User
registration. This is the registration process that the individual who will be
the primary User of the Device completes. There is also Guardian
Registration, which allows anyone over 18, who is not the primary user of
the device to register their details against a nominated Device. Please note
that to register as a Guardian you need to have permission from the User of
the Device you wish to register your details against.
The following pages explain how to register as either the User or the
Guardian of a GizmondoTM Device.

using the GizmondoTM Device.
DEVICE REGISTRATION

letters and numbers by keying the PLAY ( ) button.
Once you have filled in the information required select ‘OK’ by pressing the
PLAY ( ) button. This will send an SMS message to us, letting us know
that you have completed the initial registration of your Device.
We will then send an SMS back to your Device. Contained in this message
will be your GizmondoTM Device’s individual username and password and a
request asking you to complete the final stage of your registration by logging
onto www.gizmondo.com

SMART ADDSTM
WHAT ARE SMART ADDS AND WHY WOULD I
WANT TO SIGN UP FOR THEM?
As part of the initial registration process you will be asked whether you
would like to receive advance multimedia information and promotions by
way of Smart Adds. If you select ‘yes’ to this question Smart Adds will
bring you all the latest promotions in a maximum of three, 15-30 second
long multimedia advertisement excerpts per day, completely free of charge.
In addition you will also be able to benefit from any promotions or special
offers attached to the advert. This means that Gizmondo could help you to
enjoy the delights of discounted clothes, music, food and even money off
entrance prices to exciting, high profile events.
As we value our customer and want you to truly enjoy using your
GizmondoTM Device, Smart Adds will send you free monthly downloads
of music, tasters of the hottest new movies and information on services
local to you, on us. It gets better though, not only will you receive these
free downloads but they will be chosen to cater for your personal likes and
interests. From the information you provide in the ‘My Profile’ section of your
online registration/sign-in, we will hand pick the ads and promotions that we
think you will enjoy the most.
You will not receive more than one Smart AddTM at a time, and they will not
interrupt what you are doing on your GizmondoTM Device. Only when you
finish playing a game or listening to music will you be able to view the Smart
AddTM.

ONLINE REGISTRATION
WHY DO I NEED TO REGISTER ONLINE?
It is not compulsory to register online, however, if you
choose not to you will not be able to access the
following location based services: Web Tracking,
Geo Fencing, Tracking via a mobile phone, or the
Alert function.
Therefore, if you want to take full
advantage of the innovative features that the
GizmondoTM Device offers, you need to be sure to log
onto the Gizmondo website and register your Device.
Registering your GizmondoTM Device also gives you the
flexibility to sign onto your personal account on the web
site at any point. Once you have registered online your
username and password will be the key to accessing
your account and the additional tracking features,
downloads and personalised points of interest that are
on offer to you.

HOW DO I REGISTER ONLINE?
Registering your Device online could not be simpler. All you need to register
your GizmondoTM Device at the web site are the username and password
that we sent to you in the SMS, once you had completed the initial
registration phase. Once you have those details to hand complete the
following stages:
1. Go to www.gizmondo.com
2. Click on the ‘Register your Gizmondo’ window on the homepage.
3. Alternatively, click the ‘My Giz’ link in the menu at the top of the
homepage. This will take you through to the ‘My Giz’ introductory page.
This features a ‘Login/Register’ tab at the top of the menu on the left
hand side of the page.
4. You will next be presented with a screen asking for the username and
password you received via text message during stage one of the
registration process. Fill in the requested information and click the
‘Login/Register’ button
5. You will arrive at a page marked ‘My Data’. You should fill in details
requested, including name, address, date of birth and mobile phone
number. You can also change your password here. When you are
finished, click the ‘Register’ button at the bottom of the page.
6. You will then be taken through to a page entitled ‘My Profile’. Here, we
try to find out a bit more about you for the purposes of Smart Adds (see
page 16 for further information). Fill in the requested information here,
and click the ‘Register’ button at the bottom of the page.
7. Once you have completed this step, the registration process is
complete and you should see a confirmation page appear. From here,
you can click the ‘My Home’ link on the left hand navigation menu
bar. ‘My Home’ becomes your default login page from now on, unless
you choose a Guardian account, as explained on page 19. You can still
change your personal details and profile by clicking on the ‘My Data’
and ‘My Profile’ links.

GUARDIAN REGISRATION
WHAT IS GUARDIAN REGISTRATION?
Ever wondered if your child is really where they promised
they would be? Ever worried if someone is safe? Well if
the answer is yes to either of these questions then
Gizmondo could have the answer for you. At Gizmondo
we understand the importance of keeping in touch with
each other, especially as you go about your busy life.
This is why we have developed advance location based
tracking.
By registering as a Guardian at www.gizmondo.com you
can take full advantage of our secure and user friendly
GPS and Mapping services. By registering as a
Gizmondo Guardian you can keep an eye on the location
of your specific GizmondoTM Device at anytime. Being a
Guardian also gives you the option to set up a GeoFence
and locate the GizmondoTM Device via your mobile
phone.
Additional information on the exact services available for
Guardians can be found later in this guide.

HOW DO I REGISTER AS A GUARDIAN?
It’s simple, secure and completely free.
1. To create a Guardian Account you will need the Terminal ID of the
GizmondoTM Device, which you are to become Guardian of. To access
this ID Number you need to follow the steps below:
a. Scroll to SETTINGS on the MAIN MENU of the GizmondoTM Device.
