Quick Start Guide

Version 1.01

1First Time Use - Charge the battery

Prior to first-time use, please charge the battery 8 to 12 hours in the supplied charging

cradle. Subsequent charging should take between 3 to 5 hours. The charging cradle has an

indicator that glows Red when charging and Green meaning fully charged. The battery

lasts up to 48 hours, dependent upon use. For subsequent charging, we recommend you

leave the battery installed in the device and charge via the USB port (just as you would a

mobile phone).

2Install SIM card and battery

You will need to get and install a standard-sized SIM card from a service provider, with a

text-only plan. We recommend US Mobile, as they have text-plans that start at $4/mo:

Step 1: Lift SIM Card Slot metal holder

Step 2: Insert SIM card and press the metal holder down and lock in position

Step 3: Connect battery to tracker circuit board, replace cover

3Place unit outside, clear from obstructions to satellite signals

After battery insertion, the unit will turn on automatically (if not, press and hold power

on/off button for 3 seconds - LED indicator will flash quickly and then stop). Once the

cellular signal is acquired (in 30 to 60 seconds), the LED will flash every 4 seconds. The LED

will remain continuously on if there is no cellular signal.

4Download App from Google Play Store

The SkyNanny Android app provides the control and monitoring interface to manage your

tracker device. Get the SkyNanny GPS app for your Android-based smart phone:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skynannygps.app

4.1 Tracker Registration

When the app is started for the first time, you will see a screen showing the number of

registered trackers as zero. This is the screen where you can add the trackers to be

managed. Press the Add Tracker button to enter the name and phone number of a tracker

to be managed. This phone number is the one associated with the SIM card installed in

the tracker, NOT the number of your mobile phone. Once entered, it will appear on the

list of registered trackers.

4.2 Tracker Configuration

Select an item from the Registered Trackers list to pull up the configuration screen for the

tracker. From this screen, you can choose whether you want the device to send you updates

periodically or on-demand. "On-demand" mode is the default and usual method of

operation.

4.3 Starting a Tracking Session

Press the Activate button, the app will attempt to initiate the tracker (process takes about a

minute). Once confirmation from the tracker is received, its status will change to Active.

Pressing STOP will change the status of the tracker back to Inactive. Press the "Done"

button to exit the Configuration screen.

4.4 Mapping the Trackers

After activating a tracker, your phone should receive another text message (in the

background) from the tracker containing GPS coordinates. It can take up to 2 minutes for

these initial coordinates to arrive, so please be patient. When this is received, you can

see its location on a map. From the Active Trackers screen, pressing the Map button at the

bottom will plot all of the Active trackers in Google Maps.

The label is GREEN if the data is fresh (GPS coordinates less than 5 minutes old). The label

turns RED if the receipt time of the update is older than 5 minutes (Fig. 3.2). However, we

understand that there are situations where GPS signals may be obstructed (e.g., inside

buildings), leading to suspect coordinates. If the received update is fresh, but the GPS

coordinates are older than 5 minutes, the label will be AMBER (Fig. 3.3)

In summary:

GREEN = coordinates you can trust

RED = stale coordinates

AMBER = suspect coordinates

For trackers in "on-demand" mode, the label will turn RED after 5 minutes. If you would

like to get the current position of that tracker, tap on the RED label and a pop-up will

appear asking if you want to update the position. If you select yes, an updated coordinate

will be requested from the tracker and plotted on the map when received

Pressing the cross-hair icon at the top right corner will center the map on the position of

the user's phone, represented by either a blue dot or arrow (arrow is drawn when the

phone's GPS chip is used). You can therefore see your position relative to the children you

are tracking.
