Activate XPLORA Go

- Download the XPLORA GO app from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store by searching “XPLORA GO”. The XPLORA GO-app requires at least iOS 9.0 and Android 4.1 or higher.
- Install the app on your smartphone and follow the instructions on your screen to verify the number of your smartphone and create a user account. Important: When creating an administrator, do not write your phone number with a space or zero beforehand.
- Select “Activation” on the device to show the QR code.
- Select “Add device” in the XPLORA app and scan the QR code to pair the device with your app.
- You can add a second administrator by repeating these steps with the phone of the person you want to assign administrator rights to. Once the second guardian has scanned the code of the watch, the first guardian needs to accept the contact request in the app. Afterwards you can grant admin rights in the contact menu of the app
Changing the device mode
By default, XPLORA GO is set to “asset mode” after the activation. If you want to use the device as a smartwatch, you need to change the device mode.
