Welcome to the future. Nearly everyone in the world has a cellphone now, and many people carry around more than one. While mobile phones are now able to offer more and more functionality, some fundamental problems remain that no one has been able to solve.
- How do I prevent my cellphone from being stolen?
- I'm late for work and I can't find my mobile phone. Where the hell is it?
Until now.
Alertron is a must-have security device for anyone with an expensive cellphone or smart phone.
Here's how it works: Power it on. Insert a sharp object like the tip of a paperclip into the pairing hole. (You only have to do this once and thereafter Alertron will re-establish its Bluetooth connection with your phone should either be powered off). From your cellphone search devices and locate Alertron. Initiate pairing. By the way the password is 0000. Once paired, if Alertron and your cellphone stay within 5 meters of each other...nothing happens. But should they become separated, Alertron will start to vibrate and then emit a disturbing high pitch alarm! Bring them together again, the vibration and alarm stops. Separate them, the vibration and alarm starts up.
Cool huh?
Here's how to use it:
- As An Anti-theft device, keep Alertron on your keychain and paired with your expensive smartphone. Then go on with your life. We hope this doesn't happen, but should one day you feel the Alertron vibration and hear that awful alarm, quickly look around you. The thief should be within 5 meters you. Then shout STOP THIEF! SOMEONE STOP THAT PERSON, THEY STOLE MY CELLPHONE. People who are innocent will stay still and inquire about your well-being. The running man on the other hand...
- As a Anti-loss device, Alertron is also very handy. First off, you'll never misplace your phone because if Alertron and your cellphone are separated then the alarm will sound. So if you know where your Alertron is, then your phone is within a 5 meter radius. But what if I can't find my Alertron either? In that case, here's a suggestion for all your lifehackers out there (Hi Gina and Adam, great site by the way!). Permanently keep Alertron on a hook by your front door. When you get home, you'll be tempted to kick off your shoes, grab a beer, then go watch some TV to relax after a long day. As soon as you're more than 5 meters away, Alertron will sound the alarm, forcing you to bring your phone nearer. And that's where it will stay so you'll always know where your mobile phone is.
Though Alertron doesn't need special software to operate, it does come with settings customizing software for most Java, Symbian, and Windows Mobile phones which allows you to increase the alarm proximity distance to 15 meters.
It's the perfect device for work since like most of us you probably just leave your cellphone lying around despite strangers coming and going all the time, or it's perfect for bars and clubs where relaxing often includes setting your things down and getting a little crazy, So what are you waiting for? Click add to cart and in a few days your phone will be a lot safer and you'll waste less time looking for your phone. Brought to you by the online consumer electronics wholesale leaders Chinavasion.
