Quick Start Guide

Congratulations on the purchase of your Kid Power Band!

Here is everything you need to know to get started.

Step 1: Charge your Kid Power Band

Step 4: Start your first mission

Step 1: Charge your Kid Power Band

1. Connect the Band to the charger

Align the prongs on the rectangular end of the USB adapter with the holes in the back side of the Kid Power Band. It will snap into place.

2. Plug into USB

Insert the USB plug into a USB port. (USB ports are commonly found in computers and TVs. You can also use a USB power adapter to connect the Band directly to an electrical socket.)

3. Success

Once successfully charging the band will flash “UNICEF KID POWER” and then show a battery charging symbol.

4. Troubleshooting

Make sure that the band is attached so that through the two holes on the bottom you see silver and not black. Also make sure that the prongs have gone into the holes to touch the silver dots on the back of the tracker.
