2. Finding Your Phone

If you misplace your phone, you can use your Chipolo ONE to find it:

• Double-press the button on your Chipolo ONE device.
• Your phone will start ringing, even if it's on silent mode, helping you locate it.

3. Out of Range Alerts

The Chipolo app can notify you if you leave your item behind:

• Enable "Out of Range Alerts" in the Chipolo app settings for specific items.
• If your Chipolo ONE disconnects from your phone's Bluetooth range (approx. 200 feet / 60 meters), you will receive a notification on your phone.
• You can set "Quiet Locations" in the app (e.g., home, office) to disable these alerts in familiar places and prevent false notifications.

4. Location Tracking

If your item is out of Bluetooth range, the Chipolo app records its last known location:

• Open the Chipolo app and view the map to see where your Chipolo ONE was last connected to your phone.
• The Chipolo community can also help locate lost items by anonymously updating the location if another Chipolo user passes by your lost device.
