WELCOME TO FiLIP
A smart locator and phone for kids
FiLIP helps children stay in touch with their parents… and helps parents know where
their children are. The FiLIP watch is worn by your child syncs with a smartphone
application on the parents phone. This allows the parent to see where their child is
at any point in time.
There are a couple of important things to do before your child starts using FiLIP.
Charging the battery
FiLIP has been supplied with a FiLIP USB cable and a mains-powered charger. Con-
nect the star-shaped end of the USB cable to the back of the FiLIP watch. You can
charge FiLIP by using the power adapter or the USB port on your computer. The
watch will beep and will display the word Charging on the screen. Charge your new
watch for at least 4 hours before using it for the first time.
A fully charged FiLIP watch can run for up to 48 hours before it needs recharging,
although this will depend on usage. We recommend that you recharge FiLIP after
each day it’s used.

phone. There’s a free FiLIP app available in the Apple App Store and in the Android
