Network & SIM set up
We recommend only using a sim that runs off the Telstra network. Vodafone have refarmed their 3G frequencies and so will no longer work with 3G devices such as ours. Optus will work, but does not have as great coverage as Telstra.
Any sim provider that uses the Telstra network. Belong, Ali and Woolworths Mobile are all viable options.
Start by removing the section on the back of the watch marked ‘SIM’ by lifting it off at the point marked by the small arrow. Make sure you place the watch on a towel or soft surface, as the screen can get scratched when face-down on a hard surface.
Once you have removed the SIM cover gently slide the silver SIM cover you until you hear a ‘click’ sound, and then flip open (see image below of watch with SIM inserted). Place your new SIM in with the gold chip side facing down. Flip the cover back over the SIM card and slide it back the opposite way to close until you hear another ‘click’. Replace the back of the watch and push until it clicks in.

With our hardware we are one of only a handful who offer dual band 3G 850 & 2100 frequencies whereas most others only offer 2100 or 1900 which will reduce the coverage if overseas. In general with all networks 2100 is limited to the metropolitan areas.
You can check the coverage in your area by clicking on the link and following the instructions under the support tab.
Technical
Under normal operating conditions the battery can last from 12 to 24 hours. Voice calls to the watch, SOS alerts and poor signal can drain the battery faster.
We would recommend you turn your watch off to charge the battery to ensure it fully charges. Please also only charge the battery for the time specified in the instruction manual and don’t leave it on charge overnight.
The 3G model is designed to update the time based on the location of the wearer. The factory default time zone is set to Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) or UTC + 10, however once your watch updates it’s location the time will update to the local timezone.
If you need to refer to instructions on changing the time again in the future please refer to your ‘Tips, New Features & Warranty’ Card that was supplied in your original packaging or download a soft copy here.

Drift can occur with high sensitivity GPS receivers in areas where the device ‘sees’ multiple signals. This can happen when the signal is reflected off obstructions such as tall buildings, walls, tree cover etc and can cause an abrupt change in location. This generally occurs when the watch is stationary.
Below is each watch status and their meaning:
- Inactive = This indicates the watch is either switched off or has been stationary and not moved for a period of time.
- Active = This indicates the watch is turned on and sending data to the software platform.
- Located = This indicates the watch has connected with a satellite and is sending a positive location to the platform.
- SOS = This indicates the SOS alarm has been activated on the watch and for the next 5 minutes it will attempt a location/fix with a satellite every 20 seconds.
If you’re having troubles with your device we recommend getting in touch with our Customer Service team as soon as possible. You can give them a ring on 1300 872 256 during our business hours or send us an email to enquiries@tictoctrack.com.au
Features, Warranty & Returns
Our 12-month manufacturers warranty does NOT include cracked screens, similar to most electronic devices with glass screens on the market.
The TicTocTrack watch screen is made with Corning glass, which is a toughened glass made to withstand normal use. This glass can crack or break when it makes forcible contact with a hard surface or object. The glass on our watches is similar to that used on the iPhone, and unfortunately, shatterproof glass is currently too expensive to be a viable option, though we hope this will change in the future. The TicTocTrack watch is being used by thousands of people across Australia, and we have found that the screen will only crack if subjected to forcible impact.
If you do happen to crack the screen of your TicTocTrack watch, we offer a discounted replacement watch, so please contact us at enquiries@tictoctrack.com.au or 1300 TRACK ME (872 256).

There are a few scenarios where your paired mobile devices may stop sending location updates.

- They have set their phone to Airplane mode.
- They have turned off ‘Location Services’ on their device.
- There is no data connection available.
- They have run out of credit on their SIM.
If they have an Android device the phone may have gone into ‘Sleep Mode’. As all Android models have different settings, have the user check the user guide for their phone to see what settings they need to change to avoid their phone going into sleep mode.
