Operating Instructions

Finding Items Nearby

When your VOCOlinc Key Finder is within Bluetooth range (up to approximately 60 meters), you can use the "Find My" app to play a loud sound (80-100 dB) from the tracker. This helps you quickly locate misplaced items like keys under a sofa cushion or a wallet in another room.

Tracking Items at a Distance

If your item is outside of Bluetooth range, the Apple Find My network can help. Hundreds of millions of Apple devices worldwide anonymously and securely detect your VOCOlinc Key Finder and report its location to you. You can view the last known location on a map within the "Find My" app and receive directions to it.

If you lose your item, activate "Lost Mode" in the "Find My" app. You can add your contact information, such as a phone number or email address. If someone finds your VOCOlinc Key Finder, they can tap their NFC-enabled smartphone on the tag to retrieve your contact details and return your item. All communication within the Find My network is anonymous and encrypted to protect your privacy.

Water Resistance

The VOCOlinc Key Finder has an IP65 rating, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction. It is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes or light rain. However, it is not designed for submersion in water. Avoid exposing the device to heavy rain or prolonged water contact.

Troubleshooting

• Device Not Responding/Connecting: If the tracker does not respond or connect to your iOS device, ensure Bluetooth is active and the "Find My" app is open. Try replacing the CR2032 battery. If the issue persists, attempt to re-pair the device following the setup instructions.
• Sound Not Playing: If the tracker's sound does not play when activated, check the battery level in the "Find My" app. Ensure there are no obstructions blocking the speaker on the device.
• Inaccurate Location Tracking: For accurate location tracking, ensure your iOS device has a stable internet connection and location services are enabled for the "Find My" app. The accuracy of location updates depends on the density of the Apple Find My network in the area.
• NFC Not Working: Ensure the finding device is NFC-enabled and that you are tapping the VOCOlinc Key Finder correctly. The tag must be in Lost Mode for contact information to be accessible via NFC.
