6.2 Anti-Loss Alert

If the iFindU locator and your smartphone move out of their effective Bluetooth range (typically 10-50 meters), both devices can be configured to send alerts, notifying you of the disconnection. This feature helps prevent items from being left behind.

When the Bluetooth connection between your phone and the iFindU locator is lost, the app will automatically record the last known location on a map. This allows you to view the approximate area where the item was last connected, helping you narrow down your search.

6.4 Voice Recording Function

The iFindU locator supports a voice recording function. Please refer to the specific instructions within the "iSearching" or "Kindelf" app for details on how to activate and use this feature.

7. Maintenance

• Battery Replacement: The iFindU locator uses a replaceable CR2032 button battery. When the battery is low or after approximately 180 days of standby time, replace it with a new CR2032 battery. To replace, gently open the device casing (refer to product diagrams if available for specific opening instructions), remove the old battery, and insert the new one with the correct polarity.
• Cleaning: Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or submerging the device in water.
• Storage: Store the locator in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use for extended periods.

8. Troubleshooting

• Locator not connecting or frequently disconnecting:
  • Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone.
  • Restart your phone's Bluetooth function.
  • Close and reopen the "iSearching" or "Kindelf" app, or try reinstalling it.
  • Replace the CR2032 battery with a new one.
  • Ensure the locator is within the effective Bluetooth range (10-50 meters) of your phone.
  • Note that the app may have a limit on the number of devices that can be connected simultaneously (e.g., up to 4 devices).
• Cannot hear the locator's alarm:
  • Check the locator's battery level; a low battery might result in a weak or no alarm sound.
  • Ensure your smartphone's volume is turned up.
• Location shown on the map is not accurate or real-time:
  • The iFindU is a Bluetooth locator. The "Location Record Locator" feature shows the *last known location* where the device was connected to your phone via Bluetooth, not continuous real-time GPS tracking when out of range.
  • Accuracy of the last recorded location depends on your phone's GPS and network services at the time of disconnection.
• Does the locator work with Xiaomi Home app?
  • No, the locator is designed to work with the "iSearching" or "Kindelf" application, not the Xiaomi Home application.

9. User Tips

• Optimal Placement: Due to its compact and lightweight design, the iFindU can be discreetly placed in wallets, attached to keyrings, or secured to pet collars without causing discomfort or bulk.
• Battery Life: To maximize battery life, ensure you replace the CR2032 battery as recommended (approximately every 180 days or when the app indicates low power).
• App Compatibility: Always use the specified "iSearching" or "Kindelf" app for optimal performance and access to all features. The device is not compatible with the Xiaomi Home app.
• Understanding Location: Remember that the device provides the *last connected location* via Bluetooth, not continuous GPS tracking. This is most effective for finding items misplaced nearby or knowing where they were last seen.
