2. Online Registration

When you are registering a GizmondoTM Device there are two ways in which an individual can register themselves in relation to the Device. There is User registration. This is the registration process that the individual who will be the primary User of the Device completes. There is also Guardian Registration, which allows anyone over 18, who is not the primary user of the device to register their details against a nominated Device. Please note that to register as a Guardian you need to have permission from the User of the Device you wish to register your details against.

The following pages explain how to register as either the User or the Guardian of a GizmondoTM Device.

GUARDIAN REGISRATION

WHAT IS GUARDIAN REGISTRATION?

Ever wondered if your child is really where they promised they would be? Ever worried if someone is safe? Well if the answer is yes to either of these questions then Gizmondo could have the answer for you. At Gizmondo we understand the importance of keeping in touch with each other, especially as you go about your busy life. This is why we have developed advance location based tracking.

By registering as a Guardian at www.gizmondo.com you can take full advantage of our secure and user friendly GPS and Mapping services. By registering as a Gizmondo Guardian you can keep an eye on the location of your speciﬁc GizmondoTM Device at anytime. Being a Guardian also gives you the option to set up a GeoFence and locate the GizmondoTM Device via your mobile phone.

Additional information on the exact services available for Guardians can be found later in this guide.

HOW DO I REGISTER AS A GUARDIAN?

It’s simple, secure and completely free.

1. To create a Guardian Account you will need the Terminal ID of the Gizmondo

Device, which you are to become Guardian of. To access

this ID Number you need to follow the steps below:

a. Scroll to SETTINGS on the MAIN MENU of the GizmondoTM Device.

b. Then scroll down to DEVICE INFORMATION.

The Terminal ID will then be veriﬁed and an SMS will be sent to the GizmondoTM Device notifying the User that you wish to create a Guardian Account for their console. A One-Time Code will then be sent to the GizmondoTM Device and the Guardian will have 15 minutes to enter the One-Time Code into the website.

6. Once this has been accepted the Guardian creates a username and password, both of which are case sensitive, so remember whether you used upper or lower case. The username and password are not the same as those that the User entered when they registered their GizmondoTM Device initially; the Guardian needs to create completely new ones.
