Concept
UTAG® was initially designed with motorcyclists in mind but is for anyone who considers their personal safety, or the safety of family or friends, as important.

Motorcyclists are very aware that with the joys of biking come unavoidable risks and that accidents can happen. Some already carry contact information in case of emergency but it is difficult to make this visible and accessible and it can be overlooked.

The creator of UTAG® wanted a product that could easily be seen and identified as containing emergency information and could be worn in a visible place. It needed to carry all the information a rider felt was necessary to help in an emergency situation.

It had to give every rider the best possible chance of communicating with the emergency services, letting them know who to contact on their behalf and pass on any medical information they wanted to make available. It also needed to be something a rider would want to wear and would be seen as a worthwhile, fashionable accessory. The answer is UTAG®.

"It's one piece of kit I seriously recommend" Suzi Perry - Sport & TV Presenter

FAQ
I have put my UTAG® into my computer and a window did not open, I cannot see the UTAG®.
Double click on 'My Computer' a window will open and you will see the UTAG® logo against a drive letter, click to open. Then click on the UTAG® logo in the new window and the program will open.

There are some marks on the UTAG®, what are they?
UTAG® is made from a lilght alloy material which naturally receives markings and scratches. These marks can be removed with everyday metal polish. These marks will not affect the performance of this emergency device.

The USB part of my UTAG® dogtag sticks up a bit - Why?
The USB connector has two spaces either side of it. These are to prevent the UTAG® being inserted the wrong way and also to hold the contacts away from the metal part underneath the UTAG®. This is to prevent corrosion or wear of the contacts.

How do I put in my details?
In each section of the public screen there is an edit button. Click the button and you will be asked for the password (this is set to 'password' when you first use your UTAG®). You will then be able to edit the information shown in the public screen.

Do I have to fill in all the information?
All information is optional, so you put in as much information as you wish.

Why do I not fill in my full date of birth?
The year of your birth is enough for an emergency situation. We felt that with concerns about identity issues we would not include any information that was sensitive, only information that could be needed for an emergency situation.

What happens if I forget my password?
Your password is non recoverable. This is a security measure so nobody can change your details. You can still use the information contained in your UTAG® but you will not be able to edit it.

Do I have to put in the full international dialling code and what does the "+" mean?
You do not have to include it but if you travel abroad it would help if there was an emergency. Someone may not know the dialling code for the UK is 44. The "+" symbol means that the call should start with the international dialling code for that country, which is "00" in the UK.

I have a condition that I do not want to be seen in the public screen but it would need to be known in an emergency.
We suggest in the 'Other' box putting something like "Please contact my GP for information about an existing condition".

Will the emergency services know what the UTAG® is?
As part of their normal procedure a trained person will check an unconscious or delirious person for medical devices. The UTAG® has the recognised letters ICE on the device which stands for In Case of Emergency and the Staff and snake emblem in the paramedic star. These alert the person searching that the UTAG® is a medical information device.

Can I use my UTAG® to store music and other files?
You can, but we do not recommend that you do. The information held on your UTAG® is important; you should not clutter the drive with other files. In an emergency you want it to be clear where the information is.

The picture I want to use is big, will it fit?
The software on the UTAG® will automatically adjust the image so that it fits into the window on the public page.
