FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Monimoto

• Batteries

  We use 2xCR123 batteries, easily found in convenience stores. Once the batteries are drained (no worries, you will be notified), simply open the device, remove the old batteries, insert new ones, and close the device

• Which smartphones can be used with Monimoto?

  It can only be used with iOS devices. The newer the better. The only condition: it should have Bluetooth 4.0+ (BLE), as the connection between your phone and Monimoto was designed to use this technology. Android support will be available in July 2017.

• Key

  The Key fob acts as a key. Without the KEY, any movement or vibration activates Alarm mode. You can add up to 3 keys to one Monimoto device. If you happen to have more than 1 Monimoto, the same key fob can be used with different devices.

• What is alarm mode?

  This activates when Monimoto suspects theft. After being triggered by movement and not finding the KEY, Monimoto wakes up, turns on GPS, GSM and other communications, and immediately sends notifications to its owner. (This mode uses more battery power, so avoid using it when not needed)

• Can I use it as a GPS tracker?

  Monimoto is an alarm system first. Without your keys nearby, Monimoto will enter alarm/tracking mode. It will start sending you location notifications every 5 minutes while the vehicle is moving and every 30min when idle in Alarm mode.
  Note! - when active, the GPS and GSM receivers will reduce your battery life considerably.

• Why is it better than a tracker for 35€?

  For starters, trackers need installation - wiring. Monimoto does not. Trackers are always online, while Monimoto sleeps quietly. Trackers are configured through USB and software or SMS, while Monimoto does this via Bluetooth.
