3. Operating Your HH-Tag
3.1 How the Google Find My Device Network Works
The HH-Tech Smart Tag leverages Google's Find My Device network. When your tag is out of Bluetooth range of your phone, millions of Android devices anonymously and securely detect its location. This information is then updated on your map within the Google Find My Device app, allowing you to track your item even when it's far away. All data is encrypted and anonymous, ensuring your privacy.

3.2 Finding Nearby Items
When your HH-Tag is within Bluetooth range (up to 50 meters), you can use the Google Find My Device app to locate it by playing a sound.
- Open the Google Find My Device app.
- Select your HH-Tag from the list of devices.
- Tap "Play sound". The tag will emit a loud 75dB melody, helping you pinpoint its exact location.
- You can also use the "Find nearby" feature for more precise location guidance.

3.4 Lost Item Alerts and Anti-Tracking
If an item with your HH-Tag is lost, you can mark it as lost in the app to display contact information to anyone who finds it. Additionally, the system includes anti-tracking features: if an unknown HH-Tag moves with you over time after being separated from its owner, you will receive a notification on your Android device.

5. Troubleshooting
- Tag Not Connecting:
Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your Android device. Verify that Location Services are active and that "Find your offline devices" is set to "With network in all areas" in your Google Find My Device settings. Try removing and reinserting the battery to reset the tag. Ensure the insulating paper has been fully removed.
- Sound Not Loud Enough or Not Playing:
Check the battery level of your HH-Tag in the Google Find My Device app. Replace the battery if it's low. Ensure there are no obstructions covering the tag's speaker. The 75dB sound is designed for close-range location.
- Inaccurate Location:
The accuracy of the location depends on the density of Android devices in the area. In remote locations, updates may be less frequent. Ensure your phone has a stable internet connection for the most up-to-date location information.
- Battery Terminal Issue:
If you experience issues after battery replacement, ensure the battery is correctly seated and the metal contacts are not bent or damaged. Handle with care during battery changes.
