APPENDIX ONE (i)
Useful information
GPS
Nu•m8 will check that it can get a fix on the satellites to ensure that it can get the most
accurate location when required. However, although Nu•m8 uses the latest technology,
including assisted GPS, there will be times, particularly indoors, on a cold start, that this
may take some time. If Nu•m8 cannot get a fix, as indicated on the screen “no GPS” ask
your child to walk around the house, close to a window or briefly stand outside and the
device will then acquire the satellites and be ready to use.
There is a built in back-up within the Nu•m8 solution that can locate your child even where
there is no location available from the satellites, it is not quite so accurate but will place
your child to within acceptable proximity of their current location, however please note that
you do need a current GPS location to use the Safe zone and Home zone functionality of
num8
GSM
Much like your mobile phone there are certain times and places where the network
coverage is poor or non existent. The signal strength that we need to communicate with
Nu•m8 is much lower than that required to make a voice call, however the quality of the
signal needs to be good.
Battery
We constantly monitor the status of the battery within Nu•m8 and will alert at start-up or
during use if the battery level is becoming low. There is a traffic light system on the portal
indicating, Green (very good), Amber (average), or Red(requires charging)
