FAQs

What type of SIM card does the myFirst Fone R2 require?

The myFirst Fone R2 requires a nano-SIM card with 4G LTE capability and an active data and calling plan.

Can I add any phone number as a contact?

No, only pre-approved contacts set up through the myFirst Fone companion app can call or be called by the watch.

How does the SOS button work?

When pressed, the SOS button sends the child's current location and a 30-second audio recording to the designated guardians via the companion app.

Is the watch suitable for swimming?

The watch has an IPX8 water-resistant rating, meaning it can withstand splashes and submersion in shallow water for a limited time. It is not recommended for swimming or prolonged water exposure.

How long does the battery last?

The battery life is up to 16 hours, but this can vary significantly depending on usage, particularly with frequent calls, video calls, and GPS tracking.

Can the watch be used without a SIM card?

Many features, including calling, GPS tracking, and real-time updates, require a SIM card with an active plan. Some basic functions like playing pre-loaded music or using the camera might work offline.

What is the screen size and type?

The watch features a 1.3-inch AMOLED display with auto-adjusting brightness.

Troubleshooting

Watch not connecting to network

Ensure the SIM card is properly inserted, activated, and has an active data plan. Check for network signal in your area. Restart the watch and the SIM card.

GPS location is inaccurate

Ensure the watch has a clear view of the sky for GPS signal. Wi-Fi and cellular triangulation also contribute to location accuracy. Check that location services are enabled in the watch settings and companion app.

Calls are not going through

Verify that the SIM card is registered on the network and has calling credit or an active calling plan. Check the approved contact list in the companion app.

Battery drains quickly

Reduce the frequency of location updates, limit video call usage, and ensure the screen brightness is set appropriately. Close unnecessary background apps if applicable.
