Operating Your MiTag
Once paired, your MiTag offers several features to help you keep track of your belongings.
1. Locating Items Nearby (Within Bluetooth Range)
Within Bluetooth range (up to 150m/500ft), you can use the Google Find My Device app to locate your MiTag. The app will show you the current location and provide proximity hints. As you move closer to the MiTag, a visual indicator in the app will fill up, guiding you to your item.

2. Playing a Sound to Find Items
If your item is nearby but out of sight, you can activate a loud sound from the MiTag via the Google Find My Device app or voice commands. The tracker will ring, helping you pinpoint its exact location.

3. Remote Location Tracking (Beyond Bluetooth Range)
The Google Find My network allows for global precise location tracking. As long as your MiTag is within range of any Android device connected to the network, you will continue to receive location updates, even if your own phone is not nearby. This is particularly useful for tracking items left behind or lost in public areas.

4. Sharing Device Location
You can share the location of your MiTag with trusted contacts through the Google Find My Device app. This allows multiple people to track the same MiTag location, adding an extra layer of security for valuable items or loved ones.

5. Data Security and Privacy
The Google Find My network is encrypted and anonymous, ensuring your location data and history are not stored on the tracker and cannot be known by Google systems. Your privacy is a priority, with data encrypted to everyone but you.

Maintenance
1. Battery Life and Replacement
The MiLi MiTag uses a replaceable CR2032 battery, which is included with the device. The battery is designed to last approximately 6 to 9 months depending on usage. When the battery is low, the Google Find My Device app will notify you. To replace the battery, gently twist open the back cover of the MiTag, remove the old battery, insert a new CR2032 battery, and close the cover securely.
2. Waterproof Rating
The MiLi MiTag has an IP67 waterproof rating, meaning it is protected from dust and can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter (3 feet) for up to 30 minutes. This makes it safe for use in rainy conditions, splashes, or accidental short immersions. After exposure to water, simply dry the device thoroughly.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your MiTag, consider the following common solutions:
- Connectivity Issues: Ensure your Android phone's Bluetooth is enabled and the MiTag is powered on. If the device doesn't appear in the app, try restarting your phone and the MiTag.
- Sound Volume: Some users have noted the sound can be quiet in noisy environments. Ensure you are within close proximity for the best chance of hearing the beep.
- Location Updates: If the tracker's location isn't updating, ensure it's within range of other Android devices connected to the Google Find My network. In dense areas, updates should be frequent (every 3-5 minutes).
- Accidental Power Off: The MiTag can be accidentally turned off if the button is pressed for 6 seconds while in a tight space like a pocket. Be mindful of how the tag is stored.
- Battery Drain: While batteries are designed to last 6-9 months, rapid battery drain can occur. If this happens, try replacing the CR2032 battery.
