4. Maintenance
4.1 Battery Maintenance
To ensure the longevity of the internal rechargeable battery, it is recommended to fully charge your Satechi Findall Passport Cover at least once every three months, even if not in active use.
4.2 Cleaning
The vegan leather exterior can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these may damage the finish.
5. Troubleshooting
- Issue: Passport Cover cannot be paired with Find My.
Possible Cause 1: The device may already be linked to another Apple account. This can occur if the product was previously owned or returned. Apple's Find My system typically requires a 90-day waiting period before an item can be linked to a new account if it's still associated with a previous one.
Solution: If a factory reset (if applicable and described in future product updates) does not resolve this, contact Satechi Customer Support for assistance. Provide your proof of purchase.
Possible Cause 2: Incorrect pairing steps or disabled settings.
Solution: Review Section 2.2 "Pairing with Apple Find My" and ensure all steps are followed correctly, including enabling Find My and Location Services on your iOS/iPadOS device.
- Issue: Battery life is shorter than expected.
Possible Cause: Infrequent charging or heavy use of the audible alert feature.
Solution: Ensure the passport cover is fully charged every three months. Reduce the frequency of playing sounds if not necessary, as this consumes more battery power.
