4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Locating Items
Once connected, you can track your items using the Apple Find My app:
- Real-time Location: View the current location of your tracker tag on the map within the "Items" tab of the Find My app.
- Play Sound: If your item is within Bluetooth range (approximately 200 feet), tap "Play Sound" in the Find My app. The tracker tag will emit an 80-100dB beeping sound to help you pinpoint its exact location. You can also ask Siri for assistance.
- Global Tracking: If your item is outside Bluetooth range, the Find My network, composed of hundreds of millions of Apple devices worldwide, will anonymously detect your tracker tag's location and update it in your Find My app.

4.2 Left Behind Remind and Lost Mode
- Left Behind Remind: Your iOS device will send a notification with the last known location if the tracker tag moves out of Bluetooth range. You can view this location in the Find My app.
- Lost Mode: If an item is lost, you can activate "Lost Mode" in the Find My app. You can enter your contact information. If another Apple device user finds your item, they can use their device to view your contact information and help return the item.
5. Battery Replacement
The FONVOi F01 Tracker Tag uses a replaceable CR2032 coin cell battery, providing up to 1 year of continuous use. The Find My app will notify you when the battery level is low.
Replacing the Battery:
- Hold the tracker tag with the FONVOi logo facing up.
- Press down on the back cover of the tracker tag and rotate it counter-clockwise to unlock and remove the cover.
- Remove the old CR2032 battery.
- Insert a new CR2032 battery with the positive (+) side facing up.
- Align the back cover with the tracker tag and press down while rotating clockwise to secure it.
Important: The unique lid design helps prevent accidental opening by children. Dispose of used batteries responsibly.
6. Privacy and Sharing
6.1 Data Privacy
The FONVOi F01 Tracker Tag is Apple MFi certified. All communication within the Find My network is anonymous and encrypted to protect your privacy. Location data and history are never stored on the tracker tag itself, ensuring your location data remains encrypted and private, even from the manufacturer.
6.2 Sharing with Family and Friends
With iOS 17 (or iPadOS 17/macOS 14) or later, you can share your tracker tag with up to 5 other individuals in the Find My app. This allows multiple users to view the item's location on a map. Borrowers will not receive tracking notifications when the item is moving with them, making it convenient for shared items.
7. Troubleshooting
- Tracker Tag Not Connecting:
- Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your iOS device.
- Confirm you are using the official Apple "Find My" app and not a third-party application that may require a subscription. The FONVOi F01 does not require any additional subscription for tracking via the Find My app.
- Check the battery level of the tracker tag. Replace the CR2032 battery if it is low or depleted.
- Make sure the tracker tag is within close proximity to your iOS device during the initial setup.
- No Sound from Tracker Tag:
- Verify the tracker tag is within Bluetooth range of your iOS device.
- Check the battery level.
- Inaccurate Location:
- Location accuracy depends on the density of Apple devices in the Find My network. In areas with fewer Apple devices, location updates may be less frequent or precise.
- Ensure your iOS device has a stable internet connection for map updates.
- Water Exposure:
- The FONVOi F01 Tracker Tag is not waterproof. Avoid exposing the device to water or excessive moisture to prevent damage.
