Set, apply and edit a ‘Safe Zone’
A Safe Zone is an area on a map where you are happy for your child to play. If they move outside
of this area you will receive an alert (this may be school, a playground, a shopping centre or even
home).
From my Mobile
It is only possible to set a defined radius circle, centred on your Childs current location from your
mobile phone.
As was the case in a “Where ru” request ensure that the alerts on the portal for the particular
nu•m8 are set to the mobile phone number from which you are sending the request (for information
on how to change alerts see section 10, page 27 below).
Simply text “safexxx” where xxx is the radius in metres of the circle around your child‟s current
location to your child‟s nu•m8 e.g. “safe50” for a 50 metre radius circle.
When this has been applied you will receive confirmation by text that the Safe Zone is set and
nu•m8 will then check every 5 minutes that they are within this area.
The portal will update to show the status of nu•m8 to Safe Zone- SMS set.
If your Child strays outside of this Safe Zone an alert will be sent via text message to your phone,
and email to you desk-top with the current location of your child and a link to the customer portal
and map showing their location.
.
If your Childs location gives you cause for concern, we suggest that you either contact the
authorities, go to your child, or log in to the Customer portal and then select “Live Track” to monitor
where they are going for a period of time.
If your child re-enters the Safe Zone a text message and email will be sent to you informing you of
this event.
To switch the Safe Zone off from your mobile phone text “zone” and Nu•m8 will return to standby
mode. This updates nu•m8‟s status to Standby on the customer portal.
Please note that Safe Zone confirmation and Safe Zone breach each count as an alert from your
monthly subscription allowance if sent as a text message alert to a mobile phone. There is no
monthly limit on email alerts.
From a Desk-top computer
A Safe Zone can be set and applied immediately, saved for later, or you can select a previously
saved Safe Zone by name and apply.
A Safe Zone can be defined by multiple points on a map or a defined radius circle with its central
point as a location on a map.
