5.1. Finding Your Items

Once your Midlocater Air Tracker Tag is paired, you can locate your items in several ways:

  • Play Sound: If your item is within Bluetooth range (up to 100m/350ft), open the Find My app, select your item, and tap 'Play Sound'. The tracker will emit a loud beep (up to 90dB) to help you locate it.
  • View on Map: If your item is out of Bluetooth range, the Find My network (a vast network of Apple devices) will anonymously and securely update its last known location on the map in your Find My app.
  • Ask Siri: You can also use Siri to locate your items by saying, for example, "Hey Siri, find my keys."
