Write message with Quick Text | famolino Photo Card

Easily send a message with QuickText

The personalized famolino photo card with QuickText makes communicating with important people simple, personal, and easy to understand. Unlock your smartphone, hold the card to the back of the device, tap the notification – and the selected WhatsApp, SMS, or iMessage dialogue for the stored phone number opens instantly.

When ordering, you choose whether the card should open a WhatsApp dialogue or an SMS dialogue. On Apple iPhones, the messaging dialogue opens via iMessage, if available.

A QuickText defined by you is automatically entered into the message field. The text can still be edited, supplemented, or replaced with a personal message before sending. To send, simply tap the send button.

The card is particularly suitable for short daily status updates, for example:

• "I'm up. I'm doing well."
• "I have taken my medication."
• "The food delivery service has arrived."
• "I'm going to sleep now. Good night."

You can customize the name, photo, and QuickText. The large photo and clearly legible name help identify the right contact quickly.

The famolino photo card is especially helpful for people who struggle with small print, long contact lists, or complex menus. A prepared text further simplifies communication and can help convey important information to relatives or caregivers quickly.

For the WhatsApp version, WhatsApp must be installed and set up on the smartphone. No additional app is required for SMS or iMessage. The famolino card works passively, requires neither a battery nor charging, and is therefore ready for use for many years.

Please read these instructions carefully before first use and keep them in a safe place. They are part of the product information and contain important details regarding safe and intended use.

• The famolino card is designed to trigger a stored function – for example, a contact, a message, a link, or a communication application – via NFC on a compatible smartphone. Use the card exclusively for this purpose.
• To use the card, you require a compatible smartphone with the NFC function activated. Depending on the function, an internet connection, a suitable application, and camera or microphone permissions may also be required.
• The function may vary or be temporarily unavailable depending on the smartphone, settings, internet connection, and the availability of the stored service.
• Check the card for damage before use. Do not use it if it shows cracks, deformations, peeling, or other damage. Do not bend, punch holes in, cut, or alter the card. Protect it from water, extreme heat, open flames, and aggressive chemicals.
• Clean the card with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Do not immerse it in water and do not use abrasive cleaning agents. Store the card in a dry place protected from direct sunlight.
• Test the card before regular use. The card merely triggers the stored function on the smartphone. It does not ensure that a contact is reachable, that a connection is established, or that a message is read and answered.
• For message or status cards, only the stored message is transmitted. The card does not automatically detect the location, health status, or actual safety of the person using it. Therefore, check before use whether the selected message is appropriate for the current situation.
• For emergency call cards, the following also applies: The famolino card is not an independent emergency call device and does not replace a direct emergency call. In the event of acute danger or a medical emergency, dial the local emergency number immediately; in Germany, this is 112. Do not rely solely on the card in an emergency.
