| What is
the AMBER stick? |
AMBER
stick™ is a new concept in the fight against missing children.
With the AMBER stick™ in your possession, you can feel
confident knowing that if the unthinkable happens, your child goes
missing, you have vital information you will need to provide law
enforcement officers instantaneously to issue the local and national
AMBER ALERT!
|
| How does
the AMBER stick work? |
The AMBER
stick™ is very simple to use:
The AMBER stick™ is a self-contained device that works
independently without the need to install any software onto yours or
any computer.
This innovative software design allows the AMBER stick™ to be
the ONLY product of it's kind that is 100% portable.
|
| Will the
AMBER stick work on my computer? |
The AMBER
stick™ is the ONLY fully portable Child Identification product.
AMBER stick™ is compatible with Windows 98se and up.
AMBER stick™ System
Requirements:
- A computer with windows 98se or
higher (Windows 2000/XP recommended)
- 64MB of ram (128MB recommended)
- An available USB port (USB 1.1
is ok, USB 2.0 recommended for speed)
- A printer (needed to print
"MISSING" flyer)
- Photos of your loved ones in a
digital form (.jpg image format)
We have seen some issues where
Windows 98 can not recognize the AMBER stick hardware. This is due
to certain problems with the early versions of USB and Windows 98.
If you are running Windows 98, we recommend upgrading your operating
system to Windows XP.
|
| Does the
AMBER stick require installation onto my computer? |
AMBER
stick™ proprietary software is completely different.
While virtually all software must be installed on a host computer in
order to work properly, the AMBER stick™ works differently. All files
related to the AMBER stick™ software are located on the AMBER
stick™ itself and the images/photos you select for each one of your
loved ones are copied onto the AMBER stick™ when you are adding
the information to the software.

| How do I
operate the AMBER stick? |
The AMBER
stick™ is very simple to use:

on your computer
- Start the program and enter your
password to unlock

un-plug from computer

police cruiser's computer USB port

|
| What
information does the AMBER stick keep? |
THE AMBER
stick™ HOLDS ALL VITAL INFORMATION FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT ON
ITSELF.
PICTURES / MEDICAL INFORMATION / EMERGENCY CONTACTS / DESCRIPTIVE
INFORMATION...
all necessary and vital information required by law enforcement
agencies to act immediately.
The AMBER stick™ is the ONLY
fully portable Child Identification product.
|
| How much
data can the AMBER stick hold? |
The AMBER
stick holds personal information about your entire family.
Let's say you have 15 members of your family that you want to have
on the AMBER stick... NO PROBLEM!!! Each family member's file
can hold up to 3 pictures plus all of their vital information.
If you size your images correctly (smaller), you can hold literally
hundreds of individuals' information!
|
| Is my
information safe on the AMBER stick? |
| Yes.
AMBER stick software is both password protected and fully data
encrypted. In the unlikely event that you lose your AMBER stick
and someone else tries to read the information, without your password,
the data is viewed as un-readable due to its sophisticated data
encryption technology.
|
| Why do I
need the AMBER stick? |
| In today's
day and age, where the U.S. Department of Justice places a child's
chances of being abducted at 1 out of every 42 (children 19 and
under), parents / guardians must stay on the cutting edge of
technology in case the unthinkable happens. Every piece of data
concerning missing children states that the first 3 hours of an
abduction are the most crucial. This data also states that it
takes about 2 hours for a parent / guardian to give vital information
to investigators...
AMBER stick makes this information
available to authorities instantaneously. It is the first
product of its kind that allows loved ones to act quickly...reducing
the amount of time needed to give the proper authorities information
from hours to minutes.
Portable, custom designed as a key
chain, easy to use, password and data encrypted...
AMBER stick makes every second
count.
