Introduction
Thank you for purchasing nu•m8; the world‟s first location device specifically designed to be worn
by children.
It is my hope that
nu•m8
will make parents feel more comfortable in allowing their children to play
un-supervised, so that "kids can be kids" and enjoy the benefits of being free to interact with their
peers through unstructured play.
I know, like you, that the social environment in which our children are growing up can, at times, be
perilous and therefore we all want to make sure our children are safe and free from harm.
nu•m8
does not make the environment safer but will allow you to know where your children are,
control the areas in which they play and be the first to know if they are at risk.
Please read this simple user guide carefully to get the best out of your
nu•m8
and remember it is
an aid to parental care and control; it must not be regarded as a substitute.
As a parent myself, it was the urge to keep my children safe, whilst letting them enjoy the freedom
of childhood that I enjoyed that spurred the development of nu•m8.
I know that it will live up to your expectations but if there are any suggestions that you think would
be sensible to incorporate I will give them my full attention. I can be contacted at
stevenksalmon@lok8u.com.

    Start-up PLEASE NOTE We recommend that you ensure that the time has displayed on nu-m8 before you let your child out to play. This is a visible indication that nu-m8 is connected.

  • Page 24 Now select the update rate and give the Safe Zone a name Click “Set now” or “Save to list” as in multi-point earlier. The reason you may wish to select multipoint rather than radius is, as can be seen above, the circle includes a main road as well as the park, a multipoint allows you to eliminate these risky areas from the Safe Zone, similarly a pond in a park could be removed from the Safe Zone.

  • Page 37: Home Zone

    Home Zone The purpose of Home Zone is to create an area in which it is safe to remove nu•m8 from your child‟s wrist without first sending the “Switch Off” command to switch nu•m8 off. This is particularly useful when you get home and it is inconvenient to switch the unit off before removing. Please note that nu•m8 will stay in the mode that it was in before being removed from your child‟s wrist so it will still be consuming power and therefore will take longer to recharge on the desk-top charger.
