Setup
To begin using your Chipolo LOOP, follow these steps:
- Charge the Device: Before initial use, fully charge your Chipolo LOOP using a USB-C cable. The battery lasts up to 6 months on a single charge.
- Download the App: Download the official Chipolo companion app from your device's app store (Apple App Store for iOS or Google Play Store for Android).
- Pair with Your Device: Open the Chipolo app and follow the on-screen instructions to pair your Chipolo LOOP. You will typically need to double-press the Chipolo LOOP button to initiate pairing.
- Choose Your Network: During setup, you will select either the Apple Find My network (for iOS devices) or Google's Find Hub network (for Android devices). Note that the Chipolo LOOP supports one network at a time.
- Attach to Your Item: Utilize the flexible silicone loop to easily attach your Chipolo LOOP to keys, backpacks, luggage, or any other item you wish to track.
Operating Instructions
The Chipolo LOOP offers several functions to help you keep track of your belongings:
- Find Nearby Items: If your item is within Bluetooth range (up to 120 meters or 400 feet), open the Find My (iOS) or Find Hub (Android) app and select your Chipolo LOOP. Tap the 'Play Sound' option to make your Chipolo LOOP ring loudly (up to 125 dB), helping you pinpoint its exact location.
- Find Far Away Items: If your item is out of Bluetooth range, the Apple Find My or Google Find Hub network will display its last known location on a map. This global network, comprised of millions of devices, helps you locate items almost anywhere in the world.
- Call Your Phone: Double-press the button on your Chipolo LOOP to make your phone ring, even if it's on silent mode. This feature is available through the free Chipolo companion app.
- Out of Range Alerts (Android only): Configure the Chipolo companion app to receive notifications on your Android device when you leave your Chipolo LOOP (and the attached item) behind.
- Remote Camera Shutter: Use your Chipolo LOOP as a remote camera shutter to take selfies or group photos from a distance via the companion app.
- Change Ringtone: Customize the ringtone of your Chipolo LOOP through the companion app.
Maintenance
- Recharging: The Chipolo LOOP is rechargeable via a USB-C port. A full charge provides up to 6 months of battery life. Recharge as needed to ensure continuous tracking.
- Water and Dust Resistance: The device is IP67 rated, meaning it is waterproof and dust-tight. It can withstand immersion in up to 1 meter of fresh water for up to 30 minutes. While durable, avoid prolonged exposure to water or extreme conditions to maintain optimal performance.
Troubleshooting
- Device Not Connecting: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone and that the Chipolo app has the necessary permissions (Nearby devices, Bluetooth, Precise location, Run in background). Make sure your Chipolo LOOP is charged.
- Sound Not Loud Enough: Check for any obstructions around the Chipolo LOOP's speaker. Ensure the volume on your smartphone is turned up when trying to ring the Chipolo.
- Inaccurate Location: The accuracy of location tracking depends on the density of devices in the Apple Find My or Google Find Hub network. In areas with fewer participating devices, location updates may be less frequent or precise.
- Battery Draining Quickly: Frequent use of the ringing feature or being constantly out of range can affect battery life. Ensure the device is fully charged and try to keep it within Bluetooth range of your phone when possible.
