How long does the TickTalk 3 battery last?

It’s about 24 hours. Depending on the network signal in your area, there will be differences in the area where the signal is poor, and the battery life will be shorter because the searching signal will consume more power. In general, the TickTalk 3 battery life varies by use, configuration, cellular network, signal strength, and many other factors; actual results will vary.

Can I go swimming with TickTalk 3?

No, the IP67 waterproof technology of any electronic product is not designed for swimming. The technology will prevent damage to the watch if it is briefly dropped into water or becomes wet temporarily through other means.

What does the waterproof IP67 rating mean?

The IP67 rating means the TickTalk 3 is protected from dust and capable of withstanding water immersion between 15 cm and 1 meter for 30 minutes. However, we do not recommend wearing the watch while taking a shower, diving and swimming, as the waterproof parts of the watch may age over time, resulting in reduced water resistance protection.

Does TickTalk 3 have a GEO Fence?

No, TickTalk 3 uses a Wi-Fi locator as the priority locator to show the location, but the accuracy of the Wi-Fi locator will be 100- 500 feet. Therefore, if you set up a Fence for your child, it may provide you with false alarms. With the TickTalk 3, you can always locate your child and give your child a video call to confirm if he/she is safe and happy.

How is the locator accuracy of TickTalk 3?

Due to the 4G reception, the locator accuracy of TickTalk 3 is much better than that of the past 2 generations. We have adjusted the locator algorithm and it is easy to get GPS satellite positioning for outdoors. However, since it will uses a lot of battery energy to search for satellite signals, we still use the Wifi locator as the priority which can save more battery. The accuracy of the Wifi locator is within 100-500 feet.

Does TickTalk 3 come with games?

At present time, we have not developed any games for the watch, the main reason is that the watch screen is too small, and the battery is limited, too.

Can TickTalk 3 listen to music?

Not right now. But we will add this feature in the future, and all you will have to do is to update the firmware and the APP. Once TickTalk 3 becomes available with the music feature, you’ll get a notification from the App for the upgrade.

What is the main differences between TickTalk 3 and other brands of watches?

The main research and development for our TickTalk 3 is done in the United States. We offer our customers the most user-friendly APP and incorporate the latest technology for our watch’s hardware and operating system. At present time, most of the kids smart watch phones are developed and designed by Chinese startups, and they usually come with a generic App and hard to operate interface. These companies typically don’t have U.S.-based customer service and have never done localized testing in the US and improvement, so the user experience is not good. The most important point is that in the production process, our company is working with several big mobile phone manufacturers to go through more than 80 rigorous inspection procedures. Our defective rate is relatively low, but most other brands completely ignore these tests. Instead, they will just do several basic tests such as a batteries phone call test to reduce the manufacturing cost and sell at a very low price in exchange for market share.

The camera of TickTalk 3 is 2MP. Will the photos look blurred?

TickTalk’s screen is small, so 2MP resolution is enough.

Can kids transfer the photos and videos to parents?

TickTalk 3 allows the kids to save or send the photos through the Messaging Center. They can shoot a video and save it on their watch but it’s not allowed to send the video through the messaging center currently. However, you can connect your watch to your computer via the USB charging cord and export the videos manually.

My child often shuts down the watch by himself, can the TickTalk 3 not let the child turn it off?

Yes, we have cancelled the shutdown feature on the watch end, it can only be turned off from the TickTalk 3 App.

Last updated: November 05, 2018 22:27

Can TickTalk 3 adjust to Daylight Saving Time?

Our TickTalk 3 has auto time zone system, it distinguishes between different time zones based on the operator’s signal. If the operators in some countries do not provide NITZ (Network Identity and Time Zone)service, you can manually adjust the time in the settings of the watch.

Last updated: November 05, 2018 22:27

Does TickTalk 3 have a vibration mode?

Yes, we added a vibrator to the watch. You can select the two modes of Vibration + Sound or Vibration Only in the settings.

Last updated: November 05, 2018 22:28

Is the screen of TickTalk 3 easily broken?

No. We improved the design of the screen, now the screen is wrapped around the plastic housing, so even if it were to fall to the ground accidentally, the screen would not touch the ground directly and be shattered.

How long is the voice message of TickTalk 3?

It can take a 1 minute recording for each voice message.

Last updated: November 05, 2018 22:28

I sometimes can’t receive the voice message from the TickTalk 2. Is there any improvement for the 3?

Yes, we did a great improvement for the Instant Messaging System. Now the text messages, voice messages, emoji and images will be received immediately after you send. Just in case you’re somewhere that has weak reception and can’t send or receive messages at the time, once you are back in a good area it will resend the message and receive the messages you may have missed.

Is TickTalk 3's video calling function smooth?

Very smooth. We have customized the software for this function and our server is in the United States that will make image transmission fast and smooth. Our engineering team is working 24/7 to make sure we can fix any issue or bug immediately.

Last updated: November 05, 2018 22:29

Does TickTalk 3's video calling feature consume a lot of battery?

Yes, the video call will consume more battery and it may cause the watch to heat up. We set a 3 minute usage time limit for video calls, and the system will cut off the video call automatically, If your priority is not the battery, you can make another video call again after the 3 minutes cut off limit.

Last updated: November 05, 2018 22:29

Can TickTalk 3 call 911?

Yes, we made a shortcut by pressing the Power button once and then pressing the emergency call button twice to call 911 directly.

Last updated: November 05, 2018 22:29

Can TickTalk 3 make free internet calls?

Yes, but only for preset contacts who have installed the app. When it’s in use, go to the messaging center and make a voice call. In other words, if you’re running out of minutes or data from your monthly plan, you can definitely make free calls through the Messaging Center.

BackerKit FAQ

What is BackerKit?

BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!

The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.

How does BackerKit work?

After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.

I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?

The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.

Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.

To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.

How do I update my shipping address?

BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.

When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?

That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.

I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?

As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
