WhatsApp bike alerts

3BO uses WhatsApp as the primary interface for alerts and live tracking. Save the 3BO chat as a contact and type Help or Menu anytime. Full device chapters live under the user manual.

Main commands

  • Sleep – pause motion / tracking alerts until Wake (battery alerts may still arrive)
  • Wake – resume alerts
  • Track – start live tracking and get a map link (contacts are not notified yet)
  • Share ride – notify family/friends you are on a ride (calm message + live link)
  • Emergency – notify family/friends you need help (urgent message + same link)
  • Status – last seen time, battery, map / live link
  • Report – recent GPS log lines
  • Stop Tracking – end a live session (button on tracking messages)

Movement alert

When the device moves you may get Track / Ignore / Sleep. Movement alone does not start live tracking and does not message your contacts.

Why WhatsApp + cellular wins

You get the alert on the app you already use, then a live map session that reports over the tracker’s cellular connection – useful when you are away from crowds of phones, including rural rides.
