Setup
Follow these steps to set up your TrackR bravo and begin tracking your items:
- Unbox Your Device: Carefully remove the TrackR bravo from its packaging.
- Install the Battery: The TrackR bravo uses a standard CR1620 coin cell battery. Ensure it is correctly inserted. The battery is designed to last approximately one year and is user-replaceable.
- Download the App: Download the official TrackR app from your smartphone's app store (available for iOS and Android devices).
- Pair with Your Smartphone:
- Open the TrackR app and create an account or log in.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to add a new device.
- The app will guide you through the Bluetooth pairing process. Ensure your phone's Bluetooth is enabled.
- Once paired, you can name your TrackR bravo (e.g., "Keys," "Wallet") within the app.

Operating Your TrackR bravo
The TrackR bravo offers several functions to help you keep track of your items:
- Finding Your Item: If you can't find your item, open the TrackR app and tap the 'Ring Device' button associated with your TrackR bravo. The device will emit an 85-decibel alarm, helping you locate it quickly.
- Finding Your Phone: If you've misplaced your phone, press the button on your TrackR bravo. Your phone will ring, even if it's on silent mode (this feature may vary based on phone settings and app permissions).
- Distance Indicator: The app displays a proximity meter, indicating how close you are to your TrackR bravo. As you get closer, the signal strength shown in the app will increase.
- Separation Alerts: You can set up alerts in the app to notify you if you leave an item behind. When your phone and TrackR bravo move out of Bluetooth range from each other, both devices can trigger an alarm.
- Crowd Locate Network: If your item goes missing and is out of your Bluetooth range, the TrackR app's Crowd Locate network can help. When another TrackR user passes within Bluetooth range of your lost item, its location will be anonymously updated on your map in the app. Please note that the effectiveness of this feature depends on the density of TrackR users in your area.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your TrackR bravo:
- Battery Replacement: When the app indicates a low battery, replace the CR1620 coin cell battery. To do this, gently open the device (refer to the manufacturer's instructions or app for specific guidance), remove the old battery, and insert a new one, ensuring correct polarity.
- Cleaning: Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which could damage the finish.
