PEBBELL v2 Full Manual

Your personal alarm and location tracker

The amazing PEBBELL concept

The PEBBELL is a personal tracking device that combines roaming GSM (mobile communication) and GPS (satellite-based navigation) technologies and is the size of a key fob. It has a fall down monitor and an SOS button for emergences. It can also transmit its location by SMS or continually by GPRS data connection.

BUILT–IN MEMORY

The device has a built-in 8MB flash memory. It will store the GPS information when the GPRS connection is lost  (e.g. in underground areas). The device will transmit the stored GPS locations to the location server (PEBBELL.net) automatically once the GPRS network is reconnected.
