Lost Mode and Multi-User Sharing

• Activate Lost Mode: If an item with a Boomcore Tag is lost, you can enable 'Lost Mode' in the Find My app. This allows nearby Apple devices to detect your tag and provide its location to you. You can also leave contact information for anyone who finds it.
• Multi-User Sharing: For iOS 17/iPadOS 17/macOS 14 or later, you can share your Boomcore Tag with up to 5 contacts, allowing multiple users to track the same item.

Operating Your Tracker Tags

• Locate Nearby Items: When your item is within 262 feet, open the Find My app and tap 'Play Sound'. The Boomcore Tag will emit a loud 108dB beep to help you pinpoint its location. You can also ask Siri for assistance.
• Track Far Away Items: If your item is beyond 262 feet, the Find My network will help you locate it. The app will display the most recent location on a map, updated by other iOS devices in the vicinity.
• Left Behind Reminder: Your iOS device will send a notification if you leave a Boomcore Tag behind and it goes out of connection range. This notification will include the last known location of the tag.

Maintenance

The Boomcore Tags are designed for long-lasting use with up to 12 months of battery life. An extra replacement battery is included in your 4-pack.

Battery Replacement

When the battery level is low, you will be notified via the Find My app. To replace the battery:

1. Open the back cover of the tag using a small prying tool (not included, but similar to a guitar pick).
2. Remove the old CR2032 coin cell battery.
3. Insert a new CR2032 battery with the positive (+) side facing up.
4. Align the battery cover and press firmly to close until it clicks securely.

Troubleshooting

• Tag Not Connecting: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your iOS device and the tag's battery is active. Try resetting the tag by removing and reinserting the battery.
• Sound Not Loud Enough: Check for any obstructions around the tag that might muffle the sound. Ensure the tag is not deeply buried in soft materials.
• Inaccurate Location: Location accuracy depends on the proximity of other iOS devices in the Find My network. In areas with fewer Apple devices, location updates might be less frequent or precise.
• Battery Life Issues: Ensure you are using a fresh CR2032 battery. Extreme temperatures can affect battery performance.
• Compatibility: Boomcore Tags are compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch models running iOS 14.5 or later. Multi-User Sharing requires iOS 17/iPadOS 17/macOS 14 or later. These tags are not compatible with Android devices.
