Huayi F08 Smart Tracking Tag User Manual

1. Introduction

The Huayi F08 Smart Tracking Tag is a Google Certified location tracker designed to help you locate your important items using the Google Find My Device (Find Hub) app on your Android smartphone. This compact and lightweight device can be attached to keys, wallets, bags, luggage, or even pets, providing both nearby and far-away tracking capabilities.

2. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your Huayi F08 Smart Tracking Tag:

1. System Requirements: Ensure your Android device is running Android 9.0 or higher and has the latest version of the "Google Find My Device" (or "Find Hub") app installed.
2. Enable Connectivity: On your Android device, open the Control Center or Settings to ensure both Bluetooth and Location functions are enabled and working correctly.
3. Power On the Tracker: Press the power button on your Huayi F08 tracker once to turn it on.
4. Initiate Pairing: Place the activated tracker near your Android device. A pairing window for "Loshall Tag" should automatically pop up on your phone screen. Tap "Connect".
5. Agree to Terms: Follow the on-screen prompts, review the "Use responsibly" policy, and tap "Agree and continue".
6. Complete Setup: Tap "Done" to complete the pairing and binding process. Alternatively, you can tap "Open app" to launch the Google Find My Device app and begin using your tracker.

3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Finding Items Nearby

When your item is within Bluetooth range (up to 60 meters / 200 feet), you can use the "Play sound" feature in the Google Find My Device app to make your tracker ring loudly, helping you pinpoint its exact location.

3.2 Finding Items Far Away

If your item is beyond Bluetooth range, the Google Find My network can help. The last known location of your tracker is automatically updated on Google Maps using nearby Android devices. You can tap the "Get directions" feature in the app to navigate to your item's last recorded location.

3.3 Lost Mode

In the Google Find My Device app, you can activate "Mark as lost" mode. This allows you to set up contact information (phone number, message) that can be viewed by anyone who finds your tag. This increases the likelihood of recovering your lost item.

3.4 Sharing Device

You can share your Huayi F08 tracker with up to 5 family members or friends through the Google Find My Device app. This allows multiple users to track the same item, enhancing security and convenience for shared belongings.

3.5 Device Management

Within the Google Find My Device app, you can manage your tracker by renaming it (e.g., "Car Keys", "Wallet") and assigning it to a specific category (e.g., Bag, Keys, Phone, Wallet).

4. Maintenance

4.1 Battery Replacement

The Huayi F08 uses a replaceable CR2032 button battery, which typically lasts 10-12 months. To replace the battery, use a small screwdriver to carefully open the locator's case, remove the old battery, and insert a new CR2032 battery with the positive side facing up. Close the case securely.

4.2 Power On/Off and Reset

• Power On: Press the power button once.
• Shutdown: Press the power button twice rapidly, and on the third press, hold it down continuously until you hear the power off sound.
• Confirm Status: Double-click the power button.
• Restore Factory Settings: Press the power button four times rapidly consecutively, and on the fifth time, press and hold until you hear the reset sound.

4.3 Water and Dust Resistance

The Huayi F08 tracker is IP67 rated for dust and water resistance. This means it can survive rain, spills, and brief submersion (up to 3 feet depth) in water. While durable, it is recommended to avoid prolonged exposure to water.

5. Troubleshooting

• Tracker not connecting/found:
  • Ensure the tracker is powered on (press the button once).
  • Verify Bluetooth and Location services are active on your Android phone.
  • Make sure your Android phone meets the minimum OS requirement (Android 9.0+).
  • Check if the Google Find My Device app is updated to the latest version.
  • Try restarting your phone and the tracker.
• Inaccurate location:
  • Ensure your phone's location accuracy settings are set to high.
  • Location accuracy depends on the density of Android devices in the area for far-away tracking.
• No sound when finding nearby:
  • Check the tracker's battery level in the app. A low battery might affect sound output.
  • Ensure the tracker is within Bluetooth range of your phone.
• Battery draining quickly:
  • Ensure you are using a fresh, high-quality CR2032 battery.
  • Frequent use of the "Play sound" feature can consume more battery.
