2. Power On: The Otag comes with a pre-installed battery. To activate, press and hold the soft black button on the device until you hear a confirmation sound (typically two beeps followed by a short melody). If no sound, ensure the battery is correctly seated.
3. Open Find My App: On your Apple device, open the 'Find My' application.
4. Add New Item: Navigate to the 'Items' tab at the bottom of the Find My app. Tap the '+' icon and select 'Add Other Item'.

6. Confirm Pairing: Once connected, your Otag will appear in the 'Items' list within the Find My app.

2.2 Attaching the Otag

The Otag features a secure, anti-removal pin design for discreet attachment.

1. Identify Attachment Point: Choose a discreet location on clothing, a backpack, or another item where the Otag can be securely pinned. Ensure the fabric is suitable for pinning without damage.
2. Pin the Fabric: Gently push the pin through the chosen fabric from the inside out.
3. Secure the Otag: Align the Otag with the protruding pin and press it firmly onto the pin until it clicks into place. The Otag is designed to be difficult to remove without the magnetic unlocker.

3.2 Wander Alert Prevention (Left-Behind Notifications)

The Otag can notify you if it moves beyond a safe distance from your Apple device.

• Enable Notifications: In the Find My app, select your Otag. Look for options related to 'Notify When Left Behind' or 'Safety Alerts' and enable them.
• Receive Alerts: If your Otag loses its Bluetooth connection with your Apple device (e.g., if your child wanders beyond 66ft/20m), you will receive an instant notification on your phone, indicating its last known location.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Battery Replacement

The Otag uses a replaceable Lithium Metal battery (CR2032 type) and has a battery life of up to one year. Each Otag package includes two additional replacement batteries.

1. Check Battery Status: The Find My app will notify you when the Otag's battery is low.
2. Access Battery Compartment: The Otag features a secure twist-open battery compartment. To open, apply firm pressure and twist the back cover counter-clockwise. This design requires adult strength to prevent accidental opening by children.
3. Replace Battery: Carefully remove the old CR2032 battery and insert a new one, ensuring the positive (+) side faces upwards.
4. Close Compartment: Align the back cover and twist clockwise until it is securely closed. You should hear a click.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your lulaven Otag GPS Tracker, refer to the following troubleshooting steps.

• Device Not Powering On/Pairing:
  • Ensure the battery is correctly installed and has sufficient charge. Replace the battery if necessary.
  • Press and hold the soft black button for approximately 3-5 seconds until you hear the activation sound (two beeps and a melody). A single beep typically indicates the device is powering off.
  • Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your Apple device and the Find My app has permission to use Bluetooth.
  • Try resetting the Otag by removing and reinserting the battery, then attempting to power on and pair again.
• Inaccurate Location or No Updates:
  • The Otag relies on the Apple Find My network. Location accuracy and update frequency depend on the presence of nearby Apple devices. In areas with fewer Apple devices, updates may be less frequent or less precise.
  • Ensure your Apple device has a stable internet connection (Wi-Fi or cellular data) to receive location updates from the Find My network.
  • Location updates are not real-time and typically refresh every 15 minutes.
• Left-Behind Notifications Not Working:
  • Verify that 'Notify When Left Behind' is enabled for your Otag in the Find My app settings.
  • Ensure your Apple device's Bluetooth is active and that the Otag is within Bluetooth range when you expect notifications.
  • Check your Apple device's notification settings to ensure Find My app notifications are allowed.
• Difficulty Removing Otag:
  • The Otag is designed for secure attachment. Use the included magnetic unlocker tool. Place the magnetic end of the tool onto the designated spot on the Otag (usually indicated by a small circle or indentation) and pull the pin out.
