Q What are the differences between Wrist Alarms and Power Alarms?
A Although both alarms perform the same basic function, there are differences in the
electronics.
Wrist Alarms are fun and functional, but they are not waterproof and
have a limited range of 25 mts. Use on shopping trips and for close proximity.
Power Alarms have highly sophisticated circuits giving selectable ranges of 6, 25
and 40 mts. As the pebble is waterproof, the system is more versatile, perfect for
longer range control and ideal for holidays
Q Are the distances at which the alarm is triggered a precise measurement?
A All these alarms operate by transmitting a wireless signal which exists as an
invisible thread connecting child to parent. The signal can be affected by obstacles
like walls, supermarket aisles, vehicles and any other obstructions. As a
consequence, the range at which the alarm will be triggered can vary accordingly.
Q What if I have more than 1 child? Can I use 2 or more alarm systems?
A Yes. When the alarms are first turned on, the child and parent units “find” each
other with a unique code. This is known as “pairing”.
Turn on the first alarm, then simply turn on the second alarm a few metres away
from the first. The codes will be different for each alarm system. Make sure that
you mark each parent alarm with a colour or name identifying which alarm is for
which child!
Q Are there other devices similar to the Power Alarm on the market?
A Yes and no. There have been similar products on the market before, but they have
relied on cheap wireless technology offering limited stability and operating
ranges of no more than 12 metres.
The wireless technology employed in Lost Me Find Me Power Alarms is entirely new
and innovative. The pebble is tiny, yet achieves operating ranges in excess of 40
metres. Despite claims made, no other product has come close to these distances.
Q Do Lost Me Find Me alarms do anything else?
A No. Lost Me Find Me alarms have been invented to do one job only - and to do it
better than any other product. They are designed to warn parents that their child
is moving away from them. These alarms will not tell the time or measure the room
temperature - there are other devices to provide that information.
By keeping the alarm to a single function, we have maintained simplicity and
reliability.
