update your friends list and your codes. You will

be asked to download and install required software

the first time you plug in.

D) Sign up at bffgemz.com to

in a totally private space!

2. Gemz Friends

A) Adding Friends: When you sync your Gemz to add

friends with the device, you are now able to do the following:

send and receive secret coded messages with each other and

interact with each other online after signing up at

bffgemz.com!

To add friends, do the following:

1. Make sure your device is turned on.

2. You and your friend must each press

the user button at the same time and hold for three seconds.

Once synced, the button will light up, letting you know

that the Gemz are ready to send and receive messages to

each other. The color that the light glows corresponds with

the friend you’ve just added. Note: Your Gemz allows you

to add up to 8 friends. You can add up to 12 friends total by

redeeming some of your GPA. For more info, see 7. Girl

Power Average (GPA).

3. To become friends online, just plug your Gemz into a

computer, log in to your bffgemz.com account, and the rest

is magic.

B) Selecting Friends: To select a friend you wish to send a

coded message to, keep pressing the user button to scroll through

the colors until the color matching the desired friend shows up.

For example, if your friend Sarah is blue, scroll until you see a

blue light.

C) Changing Friend Colors: To change your friend’s color

on the Gemz, just log on to your account at bffgemz.com. Go to

My Profile>My Gemz. You will see the profile pictures of your

friends. Select the color border around your friend’s picture and

choose the color you wish to assign. All changes you make here

will save to your Gemz ONLY if the device is plugged in.

D) Deleting Friends: Sometimes stuff happens. Things

often have a way of working themselves out. But in case it

doesn’t anytime soon, you can unfriend them. Log on to

bffgemz.com, and go to My Profile>My Gemz. Simply click on

the “Unfriend” button and select the user you wish to remove.

You will no longer be friends, meaning there will be no more

Gemz messaging or online interaction. The update happens

online instantly and on your Gemz as soon as you plug it in to

your computer.

3. Gemz Messages

A) Selecting Coded Messages: To

select your coded messages, simply press

the message button until you see the color

combination you wish to send. Once you

see it, make sure you’ve selected correct recipient. Hit the send

button. Note: For the friend to receive your message, the users

must be up to 450 feet apart (for example, in your school or mall).

B) Changing Coded Messages: To change the color code

of your message, plug your Gemz in to the computer and log on

to your account at bffgemz.com. Go to My Profile>My Codes.

There are icons with colored talk bubbles and text-boxes beside

it. You can change the color by clicking on the talk bubbles and

selecting the color of your choice. You can click on the text-box

to type the meaning of the color codes. The changes are

automatically updated to your Gemz when plugged in.

Your friends will see you’ve changed that code in their

newsfeed.

C) Adding message codes: To add a new message code, go

online to bffgemz.com. Log in to your account, make sure the

Gemz is plugged into your computer, and head over to My

Profile>My Codes. You can click on the colors and the text area

in the first empty message box you see, make your selection, and

the change will be saved to your profile and Gemz. If all the

visible boxes are full, click on the “+” sign at the bottom, where it

says “Add a Message.” This will result in a new blank message

line appearing. Just make sure you can remember them all!

D) Deleting Message Codes: To delete a coded message,

go online to bffgemz.com. Log in to your account, make sure the

Gemz is plugged into your computer, and head over to My

Profile>My Codes. There is an “x” to the right of the message

code text. Click on it to delete. The changes will be saved to

your profile and Gemz.

4. Recharging your Gemz

When the battery is low, you will see the lights on your Gemz

become progressively dimmer. Plug your device into a USB port on

your computer and leave your Gemz until it’s fully charged and

ready to go.

5. Bffgemz.com: Overview

Bffgemz.com is a dynamic environment created to

complement the Gemz device, as well as provide you with a

private space that is just for you and your friends. No outsiders

can poke their nose into your business.

Registration on bffgemz.com is a fast, easy way to start

using all the features of your Gemz. Simply go to bffgemz.com,

click on “Sign Up” and the site will guide you through the

process.

6. Bffgemz.com: Profile

A) Your Profile: This is where you and your friends can

each create and stylize your personalized profiles. Your profile

can only be seen by friends you have added with the necklace.

This means there are no outsiders allowed.

On the profile page, you can chat with your friends, send

private messages, update, add & delete your secret coded

messages, find out the latest on your friends, share photos with

your friends, answer Karma Questions to earn points (see GPA),

share your dreams, and more.

B) Seeing Your Friend’s Profile: You can check out the

profiles of your Gemz friends by going to the “My Gemz” area

and clicking on the profile picture of your friend. Also, if you see

them in your newsfeed, you can click on their picture or

username to go to their profile.

C) GPA Tab: One of two tabs you will see at the top of your

profile, this number indicates your GPA, or “Girl Power

Average”. By clicking on the “+”, you will see a dropdown which

allows you to redeem codes to boost your GPA or to gift some of

your GPA to a friend. For more details, see 7. Girl Power

Average (GPA).

D) Create Mode Tab: The first time you come to this page,

you’ll see your profile is all gray and boring. This is where

Create Mode can help. To stylize and embellish your profile,

click on the “Create Mode” tab at the top of your profile. A

dropdown will appear, allowing you to change/add the themes,

wallpapers, or Gembellies (embellishments to your Gemz

profile). For more details, see 8. Create Mode.

7. Girl Power Average (GPA)

A) Overview: Girl Power Average, or GPA, is the points you

have which allows you to do the following:

• Add extra friends to your Gemz pendant (beyond the

8 you already get)

• Unlock new themes, backgrounds, Gembellies, and

more…

Your GPA is calculated by adding up your Bonus Points and

your Karma Points.

B) Bonus Points: Bonus points are just what the name

suggests – bonuses. These points can be purchased on the

bffgemz.com Shop page. Purchasing these points generates a

code which you can enter in the GPA tab to redeem. There are

other ways to get Bonus Points for free, but that’s a surprise…

C) Karma Points: Karma points are points you get by:

• Answering new Karma Questions on your profile

• Getting them as gifts from your Gemz friends

• Getting them as prizes online from Bff Gemz

8. Create Mode

A) Themes: Themes control the color of your profile text and

the boxes that surround all the stuff about you. Choose the one

that fits you best, and don’t forget to check often. More themes

will be regularly added (and some lost).

B) Wallpaper: Wallpapers are applied to the background of

your profile page. Choose the one that fits you and your design

best, and don’t forget to check often. More will be regularly

added (and some lost).

C) Gembellies: Gembellies are embellishments to make your

profile look awesome, showing off your style, personality, and

tastes. You can place them anywhere on your page as many

times as you want when you’re in Create Mode.

To get rid of a Gembellie, you can either drag it over the

Secret fact: You can even place your

Gembellies on the profiles of your friends.

recycling symbol or over the $ sign. For more details, see 8E:

Recylcing your Gembellies and 8F: Selling your Gembellies.

D) Randomness: Don’t want to spend all that time making a

profile design? Just want to try out a new look? Click on

“Randomness” to see a completed design instantly. You can then

either keep it as is or make adjustments to get it just right for you.

If you already have a design, clicking on Randomness will cover

your previous design. If you don’t like it, click again for a new

design, or just select “Cancel” to get out of the create mode and

your profile will be back to how it was.

E) Recycling your Gembellies: If you want to delete a

Gembellie from your profile but still want to be able to use it

later, simply drag the Gembellie over the recycling symbol.

Once the mouse is released, the object should disappear, though

it will remain unlocked in your Create menu. You can only do

this function on your profile (and not on your friend’s profile).

F) Selling your Gembellies: Your tastes change. We get

that. So why should you be stuck with something you no longer

love? And why shouldn’t you get GPA for selling it back? If you

want to get rid of a Gembellie that no longer defines you, simply

drag it over the $. The Gembellie will disappear, the Gembellie

will become locked again, and your GPA will get a boost.

G) Saving: You can press the “Save” button at any time to

store your progress as you’re working on the design. If you don’t

like the changes made, just hit “Cancel” and your profile will go

back to how it was the last time you saved.

9. Top Secret

A) Overview: This is the place where you can anonymously

share with others to provide hope, inspiration, or laughs. You

never know who it may help. Note: All posts first go through

moderation before going live for all to see. Any post that contains

personal information, such as name, location, phone number,

email, etc. will NOT be posted.

B) Ratings: Approved secret posts can be rated in one of four

ways:

• Me Too!

• Whoah!

• Big Hug!

• Potatoes

You must be registered and logged in to rate secrets.

10. Your Privacy

A) Overview: The website and Gemz is designed to

maximize your privacy, since you are ONLY engaging with

friends you have in real life. This means you won’t have to

worry about adding a friend who isn’t really who she says she is,

nor do you have to worry about outsiders getting into your

business.

B) For the Parents: Every week you can expect to receive

an email update showing you who your daughter is friends with,

along with whom your daughter has added (or removed) as a

friend. We highly encourage you to create an open dialogue,

using this as a tool to share experiences and advice while

respecting your daughter’s privacy and growing sense of

independence and freedom. To learn more about us, our privacy

policy, and other helpful information, please check us out online

at bffgemz.com.

11. Taking Care of Your Gemz

The Gemz was designed to the best of our abilities, but it’s not

indestructible (that would be super-cool if it was though…). So

when you get your Gemz, make sure you:

• Do not try to take it apart

• Do not try to fix it if you think it’s broken (call us

instead at 682 BFF GEMZ)

• Keep your Gemz away from water, as this could

cause irreversible damage to the device. Plus, it

doesn’t know how to swim.

• Do not drop, hit, throw, or otherwise abuse the Gemz

(It’s your property now, so properly respect it).

• Do not expose your Gemz to extreme temperatures.

That means if you’re going for that extreme vacation

to Antarctica, leave it at home.

• Try to keep the Gemz in an environment that isn’t

overly dusty or full of small debris, as it may get stuck

in the mini USB port.

12. Notices
