On September 20, Xiaoxun Technology, a Xiaomi ecological chain company, released "Mi Rabbit Location Phone", which is a differentiated product after "Mi Rabbit Children's Watch". Compared with children's watches, Mi Rabbit Location Phone has simpler functions, cheaper price and smaller size; Compared with the Bluetooth anti loss device, the Michare positioning phone has stronger anti loss and positioning capabilities. I have got this product and had a simple hands-on experience.
With the advent of mobile Internet, we have many kinds of intelligent devices around us. Many of these products are rich in technology, which has brought us a lot of convenience in life. The operation and use of these products are relatively simple for us, but it is not so easy for children and the elderly. Nowadays, loss prevention has become a focus of smart products. There are a variety of smart products with loss prevention functions, including professional loss prevention devices, thermometer attached functions, and most of them are children's watches. However, the anti loss function of these products has limitations in use, because there are many anti loss objects, such as children, the elderly, pets, valuables, etc., which are limited by the short distance of Bluetooth anti loss and the ease of use of anti loss objects. In brief, the elderly should not be asked to go out with children's watches. In order to make it easy for children and the elderly to use mobile phones, Xiaomi launched the Mi Rabbit positioning phone, which is another new product after the Mi Rabbit positioning watch. The positioning is more clear, and its main function is phone and positioning. Next, let me always tell you the real experience of Tumi location phone.
Packaging
The rabbit positioning phone adopts a very simple paper packaging. When I received the Mi Rabbit positioning phone, the packaging had been slightly squeezed.
Appearance
There are four things in the box: the manual, the three pack card, the positioning phone host, and the official lanyard. The lanyard is composed of elastic plastic and nylon traction rope.
The Mi Tu location phone has a pure white appearance and is very compact. It can really be held in the palm of your hand and is easy to carry. There are speakers, LED indicators and a button on the fuselage in turn. Note that there is only one button on the outside of the fuselage, which is naturally very simple to use.
The front cover can be easily removed. The switch is hidden in the front cover. There is also a QR code for binding, and a SIM card slot (currently only supports Mobile and Unicom GSM).
On the back of the location phone are some product information and logos.
This is the Micro USB charging hole.
Here is MIC hole&lanyard hole.
The mainframe is small and light, suitable for children's schoolbags or luggage, and won't take up too much space. There are function buttons, microphone holes and speakers on the front. Long press the function button to make a specific call.
Parameter
User Manual
[Mi Tu location phone APP binding]
After scanning the QR code and installing the "MIBU Location Phone" app, you can remotely view the location of the location phone. MIBU officially claims that the location accuracy is 5-10 meters. After actual testing, the location accuracy is good. Users can also set the home location and safe distance through the mobile phone app. If the location phone leaves this range, the mobile phone will receive an alarm message. If you want to find a location phone, you can find it through location+navigation, and you can also remotely turn on the "voice alarm", so that the location phone can constantly emit beeps and light effects to guide the owner.
After the first card insertion or unbinding of the Michare location phone, it can only be used normally after being activated in the corresponding software. Xiaoxun's official APP can be downloaded and installed by scanning the activation QR code on the manual, or searching the "location phone" in the Xiaomi App Store. At the same time, the IOS version has also been launched. Then open the application, log in to the account, scan the activation QR code corresponding to the device, and quickly complete the binding. The whole operation process is very simple and convenient. If the QR code cannot be read due to the loss of instructions and other problems, you can also obtain the broadcast 6-digit random digital voice password by long pressing the function key 16 times when the device is powered on and connected to the network, At the same time, the device will send a female voice prompt of "successful binding", and then make some necessary settings as required, including the administrator's title and phone number, the device nickname and the phone number corresponding to the SIM card, as well as the location of the home and the range of the nearby security area.
You also need to have a mobile or Unicom Nano SIM card, and open the Internet function, and put it into the Michare location phone. Michare positioning phone supports GPS positioning, while SIM card is used to realize base station positioning and analyze surrounding Wi Fi signals for auxiliary positioning through networking.
Experience Process
Voice dialing and remote positioning are the two main functions of the Michare location phone, which are applicable to all objects and scenes that have and meet these needs. In fact, they are more widely used than children's watches. The following is an actual enumeration of this, and of course, we are looking forward to the way you can play.
1. Real time tracking, navigation and recent journey track
The interface style of MIBU location phone APP is very intuitive and simple. When you first enter, you will also give a brief introduction and guidance to the buttons in each part. In the central area of the main interface, you can directly see the current specific location of the device. The map supports moving around and double finger zoom range. Click the coordinate button at the lower right corner of the area to immediately refresh and turn to the location of the device. You can also mark the location of the phone in the diagram through the button at the upper right corner, And enable the real-time location tracking function (which consumes a lot of network and power resources). The detailed address information of the location is written at the bottom of the map area. You can click the "Navigation" button on the right to quickly reach the vicinity of the area by the shortest path according to the interface prompts. Click the "Track" button at the bottom to view all the historical places and routes passed in 1-5 days, and support intuitive playback of the movement track and progress, Of course, the device will continue to complete real-time motion tracking records, and automatically return and save these information to the cloud.
2. Call the designated preset contact
Although there is only one simple function button on the shell of the Michare location phone. However, by double clicking, short pressing and long pressing, together with the voice broadcast function, you can also answer and dial the phone of the designated contact, and it is more convenient and easy to learn than the old people's or children's mobile phones with numeric keyboards. When the device is in standby mode and the GSM signal is normal, quickly press the function key twice (double click), and the device will first report the name of the administrator in childlike voice. If it is not double click again and report the name of the next contact entry in the preset list, when switching to the object to be dialed, the main number of the corresponding entry will be automatically called after pressing the function key for 2-3 seconds, There is also a child voice prompt of "calling XXX". The device adopts hands-free loudspeaker technology, which can achieve two-way voice contact without being close to the ear or the microphone. During the conversation, the LED light is in a white flash state. At this time, a short press of the function key can actively hang up. When either party hangs up, there will be a voice prompt of "The call has been hung up".
3. Answer the phone
When the device is in standby mode and the GSM signal is normal, if a phone is dialed, the device will immediately send a ringing tone, and the indicator will flash white. If the callee has opened the caller ID service and the calling number is the primary or secondary number of an entry in the preset list, "XXX" will be announced before ringing A call is coming ", during which a short press of the function key can connect, and a long press can directly reject the call. At this time, when either party actively hangs up or fails to connect after timeout, a voice prompt of" The call has been hung up "will appear.
4. Call log view and fast call out
Of course, in addition to the basic operation of making and answering calls, there are also some very practical functions of the Michare location phone. Click the "Contact" button at the bottom of the main interface of the APP, and click the "Phone Box" button at the upper right corner to view the status details of all outgoing and incoming calls. After the device is activated, its corresponding number and avatar will be automatically added to the contacts of the mobile phone, and you can call directly in the phone book or click the "Call" button at the bottom, This very humanized design experience is really amazing.
5. Remote silent callback and recording monitoring
Michare location phone also supports silent eavesdropping on the surrounding sound source in two ways in case of emergency, such as when the child has lost his or her way or no response after multiple calls, that is, sending back call and recording commands to the device through the network, and it will automatically dial the specified number filled in after receiving the former, and after connecting, he or she will be in a one-way call and can hear the real-time situation around, At this time, the device indicator light is off and the speaker does not output the voice source, so it is unable to hang up actively through the function key. When the passive hang up occurs, no voice reminder will be sent. If the device receives the command from the latter, it will automatically start recording the surrounding sound sources for up to 7 seconds, and send the recording to the mobile phone through the Internet. Click the entry in the message recording area to play it. Generally, 2G network with good quality can be received within one minute. Click the "Headset" at the bottom left corner of the interface or the "Ear" button at the bottom right corner of the interface to realize silent call back and recording. The biggest difference between them is that the former consumes the call cost of the caller, and the latter consumes the network traffic cost.
6. Receive SMS
After receiving the SMS message, the APP end will send a push notification to the user, which can be seen in the message record area of the contact interface. However, the function of receiving MMS and replying to SMS is not supported at present.
Other Functions
In addition to the two basic operations of calling and positioning, the Michare location phone actually has some practical and interesting functions and settings in the setting interface by clicking the "gear" button in the upper right corner of the main interface of the APP. They are briefly introduced below.
1. Modify host information
After activating and binding the account number to the Michare location phone, APP will ask to fill in and submit the device nickname and corresponding number. If you need to modify these information in the future, you can click the personal information item on this interface. In addition, you can modify the terminal's avatar here, query the device activation QR code and IMEI and SN numbers, log in to other accounts in the APP on another mobile phone and scan them. After the administrator authorizes, you can jointly maintain this device.
2. Motion step counting function
The meter rabbit positioning phone also has a built-in step sensor device, which can make a simple and rough record of the daily walking steps. Click the "Motion step counting" function in this interface and enter the relevant interface, then you can synchronize and view the total steps of the day, the total distance traveled, and the broken line chart of the movement trend in the last 7 days. In order to make the data identified and counted by the device more accurate, it is recommended to click the "Gear" button in the upper right corner of the interface, enter the "Step counter information" item, fill in the user's accurate height and weight, and set appropriate target steps according to the situation. After reaching the goal, the APP will automatically send a push reminder. If the device is not required for step counting, its function can also be turned off here to effectively increase the battery life.
3. Location phone operation
Under this interface, click "Location phone operation" to enter the relevant sub interface. The blue area on the top shows the current remaining power percentage and the time of the last device data update synchronization. Below, some functions can be set and adjusted according to the actual situation and personal preferences.
① To query the phone bill: send the SMS of the phone bill query instruction filled in to the operator corresponding to the phone number, and then receive and view the returned phone bill SMS in the APP. In fact, you can also edit any effective instruction here to query other information or manage business from the operator, as the case may be, However, this function will not be available to virtual operators (such as Xiaomi Mobile) that do not support or have not opened SMS services.
② Prompt effect: according to the actual scene, adjust the volume of the system, ring tone and alarm clock at four levels, and turn on or off the LED indicator.
③ Find the location phone: When the device is nearby but can't be found anywhere, in addition to dialing the corresponding phone number. You can also make it sound through this function. As long as the system volume is not set to mute and the 2G network connection is normal, the device will immediately send out a ringing tone of about 29 seconds after receiving the command. During this period, pressing the function key will immediately stop the sound.
④ Locating the phone alarm clock: let the device sound within a specified time point, support the selection of the cycle of alarm initiation (one-time, daily, Monday to Friday and custom week), and add multiple alarm items. You can turn on or off an alarm plan at will, and delete it after continuous pressing, as long as the alarm volume is not muted, When the preset time is reached, the ring will sound for about 29 seconds. During this period, pressing the function key will stop the sound immediately.
⑤ Sleep time: let the device enter the sleep state within a fixed time every day, so as to effectively extend the battery life. During this period, the device will automatically turn off the positioning and calling functions, but it can still answer calls. It is recommended to turn on this function and set it during the period of night rest or infrequent use of the device.
⑥ Location phone mode: according to the actual use and scenario, we can choose between the device location initiation frequency and the battery standby duration, and support the setting of three operating modes, namely, power saving, normal and performance modes. If you want the longer the duration is, the better, and there is no high requirement for location timeliness, we recommend setting it to power saving mode, which can extend the effective standby time to 9-10 days.
⑦ Positioning phone power-off: In addition to turning off the phone by opening the front cover and pressing the power key for a long time, you can also remotely initiate an immediate or delayed power-off at the APP end, as well as an instruction on how long to automatically turn on the phone after turning off. After closing, press and hold the power key or insert the USB cable to charge the device.
⑧ Allow outgoing calls: whether to allow the device to dial the preset number in the contact list. After this function is turned off, only incoming calls can be answered but not outgoing calls can be made.
⑨ Automatic answer: After this function is enabled, if the incoming call is not processed within 25 seconds, it will be automatically connected. It is recommended to use it together with the call whitelist.
⑩ Call whitelist: After this function is enabled, only the default primary or secondary number in the contact list can be dialed, and other numbers are blocked by the device. Completely eliminate malicious harassment and telecommunications fraud, so as to avoid unnecessary impact on users' lives, and make it more convenient and worry free.
⑪ Unbinding: disassociate the location phone device from the administrator and other authorized member accounts, and delete all relevant data on the device and the cloud, which is equivalent to restoring the device to factory. There is no hard reset hole or button on the device, and other accounts can only be bound after unbinding in this way to effectively avoid their loss and attempt to take them as their own after being found by others. Therefore, it is recommended to properly keep the administrator account.
4. Manage safe areas
After the device is bound to an account and activated successfully, the user has been asked to set the home address and nearby security area. If you need to modify or add a new address in the future, you can click the "Security Area" entry under the interface to add the current device location or search for other designated locations. You can also modify the security area of the address item without a space, and whether you need to send a push reminder when entering or leaving.
5. Upgrade APP or firmware

You can click the "Check for Updates" item under the interface and check whether a newer version than the current one has been released, as well as check the brief log description. The new version of APP package will be directly downloaded to the mobile phone and the pop-up installation will be completed. The internal firmware can be transferred to the device through Bluetooth or data network, and the OTA flash operation will be completed, In order to save traffic costs, the system gives priority to the former. The mobile phone needs to temporarily turn on the Bluetooth function and complete pairing with the device. The indicator light of the device is always on and gradually changes colors during the device brushing. The whole process takes about 10-15 minutes, and will automatically restart and power on after completion. Of course, you can also enable the automatic update function here to enable the device to actively complete the firmware upgrade when it is idle.
6. More

It is reported that this MIBU location-based phone supports high-definition two-way calls. At the same time, this phone has a standby time of up to 10 days, making you forget the habit of charging every day. However, the biggest feature of this phone should be its location function., It supports five levels of precise positioning, and users can use the mobile phone APP to find the location of the phone, so that you are not afraid to lose it!
Summary
On the whole, this product is small, but it integrates two functions of positioning and telephone, as well as speakers, microphones and lanyards. It can be said that a sparrow is small and has all the internal organs. However, this product still has many areas worthy of improvement, such as more convenient SIM card insertion and removal, and support for waterproof.
This product is much simpler than the children's watch. It has no social chat and other functions, and has a longer life. The price of 169 yuan is a bit cheaper than the children's watch. If parents are worried that children's watches will distract their children, or some children are unwilling to wear children's watches, or some schools or kindergartens do not allow children to wear children's watches, they can consider buying "Mi Tu location phone" and putting it in or hanging it on the children's schoolbag.
If the old person has amnesia and other problems and is unwilling or resistant to wearing a positioning watch, it can consider hanging a positioning phone on the neck or key ring of the old person through a lanyard. After the old person is lost, it can be roughly positioned.
In addition to the elderly and children, for pets, luggage and other "objects" that need to be "passively" located, the MIBU location phone can serve as an anti loss device. However, because a SIM card is required, the cost is quite high. If there is an idle SIM card and you are willing to pay the traffic fee every month, you can consider it.
advantage:
1. Positioning. It is probably feasible to locate. Accurate positioning does not cost power for testing. ha-ha. Track function is available for full exposure. ha-ha
2. At present, only full numbers can be dialed from the location phone, not short numbers. No other mobile phone (already in the member list) can make a short number to the location phone.
3. Call quality and radiation. Call quality is OK, but the radiation is not small. The handsfree design should be balanced.
4. Monitor the phone. Very good. The other party can not dial the phone, but can monitor the voice around the phone.
5. Simple operation
6. There will be voice prompt when making a call
Disadvantages:
Functions in APP are restricted. For example, the number of dials is limited, and short characters (mobile) cannot be used.
Future expectations:
1. SMS settings can be added, but not currently. Anti theft and warning functions and remote locking functions can be added.
2. Alarm function can be added. The loud voice should attract the attention of people around, and it is better to control it remotely. It can be used as monochrome self-defense.
