1 Introduction
FOBO Tag is a wireless device using Bluetooth® Smart (Bluetooth® 4) technology to
monitor your loved ones or belongings that mean a lot to you. Bluetooth ® Smart is a very
low power wireless technology that could operate on a single coin cell battery for up to 2
years (Note: Battery life may vary according to usage).
Please ensure that your smart phone has Bluetooth® Smart Ready (Bluetooth® 4)
capability in order to use FOBO Tag. Currently FOBO Tag works with iPhone4S and
iPhone5 only.
Before starting to use FOBO Tag, please download the FOBO tag apps to your smart
phone.
Note: You could use up to 30 tags for each smart phone.
2 About FOBO tag
As we go about our daily live, we are inundated with a lot of information as well as
things to remember. With FOBO Tag, we aim to bring convenience to your daily living
by providing timely reminder or alert when you forget your belongings or about to lose
sight of your loved ones. FOBO Tag working with your smart phone applications could
monitor your loved ones or belongings from anywhere within Bluetooth range (up to 30
meters*).


Attach them to your personal items be it your handbag, laptop bag, luggage, car
key or any important belongings, and FOBO tag will monitor them for you. When
you leave any tagged belonging behind, RemindME function will trigger your
phone to alert and remind you to take your belonging with you. We understand
that at times you might not want to be disturbed by RemindME; example your
laptop bag is safely placed at home and you are on the way leaving your home to
the cinema. Our smart SafeZone feature working with TimeZone will prevent an
alert. However during weekday, when you leave your home to the office and
forgot your laptop, TimeZone will know it is time to go to office and it will
prompt an alert to remind you. (Note: SafeZone utilizes GPS/AGPS of your smart
phone to determine location. Turn on WiFi on your smart phone for better
accuracy.)
When you misplace any belonging you can use FindME to search for it. Example
a car key misplaced under your sofa. FindME will be able to indicate the signal

strength for you to estimate how far you are away from your belonging. The
FOBO tag can also be triggered to beep for ease of locating your belonging.
The FindME feature is also able to differentiate between a belonging and vehicle.
When you tag your vehicle with the Vehicle Profile, the FindME feature when
activated will help you locate your parked vehicle by calling up picture of the car
park bay or location; information captured earlier when you moved away from
your parked vehicle.
You can also use FOBO tag to monitor your belonging to ensure nobody moves it.
For example your desk drawer with important things inside. Just place a FOBO
tag in your drawer and activate Don’tMoveME function. Once the drawer is
moved and you are within Bluetooth range, you will get an alert on your phone. If
you are out of range, you will get an alert with duration since last move when
your phone gets back into Bluetooth range with the FOBO tag in your drawer.
For frequent traveler, you could imagine the boredom of waiting for your
checked-in luggage at arrival hall after a long tiring flight. Activate PromptME
feature for the tag inside your luggage and you will get an alert once the luggage
get into range with your phone, typically within 10-30m (Note: Bluetooth range
varies depending on surrounding things or building structure). You are free to
move around without having to wait beside the luggage carousel.
More advanced features are being developed and will be released via free apps
download. The advanced features will work with current version FOBO tag.
All the above are example use cases of how you could use FOBO tag. There are many
other ways of using FOBO tag with all these smart features. All you need is to
understand how the features work and with a little bit of imagination, you could make
FOBO tag work better and more suited to your lifestyle needs.
We have designed FOBO tag to work with coin cell battery so that you do not need to
worry about charging the device. FOBO tag is also water proof and shockproof to
allow you to use outdoor without any worries.

another smart phone unit without the tedious process of having to pair and configure the
tags all over again.

handbag, luggage, tablet, car keys, etc
2) Loved One Profile – to monitor a particular loved one, eg. a child, an elderly
person or a pet.
3) Vehicle Profile – to monitor a vehicle, e.g. car, bicycle, motorbike
