This is my first draft, i was a bit unsure of what is the most important parts to show.

First Draft board

I made an installation instructional manual to go a long with the box of 'Hebop', the manual could also be downloaded from the web.

The manual shows the parts that come in the box, the step by step sequence and preparations needed for the installation and a side-cut view of the whole process in one diagram to understand "the big picture" and not just to follow the instructions 1-8...

This manual is directed towards the Parks Maintenance Personnel that in most cases would be the ones to install and uninstall the 'Hebop' (for maintenance, etc.).

For the final user testing, I would like to test out if the assembly instruction is clear for the user since my product is a flat pack furniture piece. I will test it with my target audient, middle class family who has children. This user testing will appear if I have to adjust my design or instruction to fulfill the understanding of the Product and instruction.

I'm still looking to reduce the unit cost of the product. Because of the injection molding (cost of mold), the cost is high. However, if this product is mass produced and distributed by U.S. government, the cost will be much lower than prototype cost analysis

The box will be made of corrugated cardboard, and it will be Mailer Type.

The size of the box will be 6" x 7" x 3.5".

This Box Includes:

• Parent Receiver
• Child Transmitter
• Cradle
• Lithium Battery
• AC Charger
• Strap
• Instruction

I visited the family to do user testing. The user test was done by two children. This time, I tried to know that the transmitter which is attaching on children's cloths annoy them or bother their movements. The transmitter was attached on the lower part of their pants and near the belt. Both children said that the transmitter didn't bother their movement.
