Circo User Guide
Circo is a wearable smart tracking device for your loved ones.
Before starting:
Please prepare a data and SMS enabled SIM card (either prepaid or monthly paid SIM) and record
its mobile phone number.
Make sure the SIM card PIN code is unlocked. If needed, put the SIM card into a cell phone
in order to unlock the PIN code.
The SIM card requires data and SMS services.
Please insert the SIM card when Circo is off. Do not take out or put in the SIM card while
Circo is on.
The Circo device does not support an SIM card adapter; it must use a micro-SIM card.
Please record the Circo ID number. It is needed when re-adding Circo and when others are
adding it.
First time using Circo app:
1. Please insert the SIM card and charge Circo for 30 minutes or until the light turns green.
2. Please scan the QR code below or open the link from a mobile phone to download the Circo

mobile phone number.
If you ever forget your password, simply select “Forget password?”, and you will receive
an SMS with a new password. To change the password at any time, go to “Profile.”

the app to find the request.

Features on the Circo app:
Profile: Change Circo device name, photo, delete device, change sleep time
The Host can change the device photo and sleep time, or delete the device.
All Followers can change the Circo device name within “Profile” of the Circo app.
Safe Zones: Safe zones are virtual boundaries based on real-world geographic locations. Everyone
following the device will receive notifications when the device enters or leaves a safe
zone.
Only the Host can set safe zones.
When Circo enters or exits a safe zone, the app will send a notification to all Followers.
To set safe zones, search by address or move the pin to a desired location. Sometimes an
address does not cover the entire safe zone, so you might have to move the pin to get
more accurate coverage.
Choose a safety radius for the safe zones as needed.
Path: View path history for the past 7 days
Choose the date you want to view and then press on the lower left corner of the map
to play the path.
Press ＜ ＞to select within the location history.
Red dots show Circo’s path history. The larger a dot, the longer Circo was at that spot.
Members: View the Host and all the Followers
Note that the Host can remove Followers from a Circo device.
