Using alerts to show when the GizmoWatch is at a place you have set
You can choose between 2 kinds of alerts.
• Location-based alerts
notify you when your child’s Gizmo moves into or out of a specific area. (E.g., Maybe your child is supposed to be at the library on Wednesday between 3 and
5 PM. A Location-based alert can send you notifications when your child’s Gizmo arrives at the library at 3:05 PM and leaves at 4:50 PM.)
• Time-based alerts
check on the Gizmo’s location at a specific time or time range.
To add an alert:

About Location Information and Accuracy
Your GizmoWatch’s location will usually be shown as a place name or an address. When a place name or address can’t be determined, GPS coordinates will be shown.
Location is usually provided by Assisted GPS for fast positioning. If unsuccessful, the GizmoHub app will attempt to locate the GizmoWatch using a different method.
• When the GizmoWatch is located in a place where GPS or Wi-Fi isn’t available (or if the
GizmoWatch is turned off), the GizmoHub app won’t be able to show location information.
• Location information may be unavailable, inaccurate or incomplete depending on your
Gizmo’s surroundings.
• It may take up to 3 minutes to get your Gizmo’s location information.
• A location error of up to several miles can occur.
• If the GizmoWatch is indoors, the location can be inaccurate or unavailable.
NOTE: The Wi-Fi connection for this GizmoWatch is reception only. (There’s no Wi-Fi signal transmission.)
