You need an airtime plan for each Meili you own. You can signup by going to 'Plans' above and choose the number of Meilis you have and whether you want to pay monthly or annually. As part of the signup process you must enter your e-mail address and it is this address we will use to register your account. Make sure this is accurate as you will need to confirm it with us when you start using the app.

The Home Screen
Getting Started
This is the Home Screen. It's the place you go back to after everything you do and its the first page you see when you open the app.
You can see that in this example we have two slots available. If you don't see any slots make sure you have signed up for an airtime plan on our website and that you signed into the app with the same e-mail address you used for the airtime plan.
Note if you have a sharing code from someone who has invited you to view their Meili, click the sharing centre to enter your code.
Adding a Meili
Step 1
Before you can add a Meili it needs to switched on and connected to our network. Turn it over and press the power button with you finger nail until the red power light turns on. The button is recessed and quite difficult to press. This is intentional to prevent it from being accidentally turned off whilst in use.
Note!! Wait for the Green network light to change from flashing quickly to slowly (Once every two seconds) before moving to the next step.
Adding a Tracker
Step 2
You add a Meili tracker by clicking on the plus button either at the top right of the home page or where it says 'Add a Tracker'. You then follow the on screen instructions, and scan the QR code either on the Meili itself or the back of the Quick Start Guide.
Once you have, you will see the Meili and its location like
Scanning your Meili
Step 3
You can either scan the QR code on the back of the Getting started guide which you will find in the box, or you can slide the Meili out of its case and scan the code on the back.
Start with the phone close to the Meili and move it slowly away until you se the Green continue button appear.
When you do. Click it to add this Meili to your account.
If you see a message saying you don't have any open tracker slots, click on the 'Add more tracker slots' button to go to our website and purchase additional slots.
Pairing Your Meili
Step 4
It's important to wait until the green network light on the Meili is flashing slowly before you try to pair it. If the light is flashing quickly, that means the Meili isn't online yet.
Once the green light is flashing slowly, (every 2 secs) press and hold the SOS button until the Meili buzzes and then release.
Paired!!
Step 5
That's it. You have successfully paired your first Meili. Click 'ok' and you will see the location of your Meili displayed in slot one.
