4.1 Finding Your Items
There are two primary ways to locate an item with your Tile Sticker:
- Ring Your Tile: If your item is within Bluetooth range (up to 250 feet / 75 meters), open the Life360 app, select your Tile Sticker, and tap the "Find" button. Your Tile will emit a loud ring, helping you pinpoint its location.
- View Last Known Location: If your item is outside Bluetooth range, the Life360 app will display its last known location on a map. This location is updated whenever your Tile comes within range of your phone or any other device running the Life360 app.

5. Maintenance
5.1 Battery Information
The Tile Sticker is equipped with a non-replaceable battery designed to last for approximately 3 years. There is no need for user intervention regarding battery replacement during this period. When the battery life is depleted, the device will need to be replaced.
5.2 Water Resistance
The Tile Sticker is water-resistant with an IP68 rating. This means it is protected against dust ingress and can withstand immersion in water up to 1.5 meters for up to 30 minutes. While it is water-resistant, it is not waterproof. Avoid prolonged submersion or exposure to high-pressure water jets.
5.3 Cleaning
To clean your Tile Sticker, gently wipe it with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the device.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Tile Sticker, consider the following common solutions:
-
Tile Not Ringing:
- Ensure your phone's Bluetooth is enabled.
- Make sure the Tile Sticker is within the 250-foot Bluetooth range of your phone.
- Check the battery status of your Tile in the Life360 app.
- Restart the Life360 app or your phone.
-
Location Not Updating:
- Ensure location services are enabled for the Life360 app on your phone.
- The Tile network relies on other devices running the Life360 app to update locations when your Tile is out of your personal range. In areas with fewer Life360 users, location updates may be less frequent.
- Verify that your phone has an active internet connection (Wi-Fi or cellular data).
-
Cannot Pair Tile Sticker:
- Ensure your Tile Sticker is fully charged (if applicable, though this model has a 3-year battery).
- Bring the Tile Sticker very close to your phone during the pairing process.
