- To unlock: Align the 3-digit dials to your preset combination and pull up the shackle.
6.2 Using Apple Find My Features
- Locate on Map: Open the 'Find My' app on your Apple device. Navigate to the 'Items' tab. Your MiLock will appear on the map, showing its last known location or current location if it's within range of the Find My network.
- Left-Behind Reminders: Once enabled in the 'Find My' app settings for your MiLock, you will receive a notification on your Apple device if you move away from your MiLock, indicating it has been left behind.

- Use a small screwdriver or coin to open the battery compartment cover.
- Remove the old CR2032 battery.
- Insert a new CR2032 battery with the positive (+) side facing up.

Wipe the lock with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as this may damage the finish or internal components. While the device is IP65 waterproof, avoid submerging it in water.
