3.1 Using the "Find My" App

Once paired, you can use the Apple "Find My" app to locate your VOCOlinc Key Finder and the item it's attached to.

• Playing a Sound: If your item is nearby, open the "Find My" app, select your VOCOlinc tag, and tap "Play Sound". The tag will emit a loud 80dB+ beep, allowing you to track the sound and quickly find your lost item.
• "Notify When Left Behind" Feature: If your item is discarded and disconnected from your Apple device's Bluetooth range, the "Find My" app will send you immediate notifications.
• Viewing Last Known Location: If the tag is out of Bluetooth range, the "Find My" app will mark the last known historical position of the VOCOlinc tag on a map. This allows you to return to that location and continue your search.
