FAQs
What is the effective range of the ReFind R4 Smart Tracker?
The ReFind R4 Smart Tracker uses Bluetooth connectivity with an effective range of up to 50 meters (approximately 164 feet) in open environments. This range may be reduced by physical obstructions like walls or other electronic devices.
Can I track my item if my phone is lost?
The tracker can help you find your phone by making it ring when you press the button on the tracker (provided the tracker and phone are within Bluetooth range and the feature is enabled). However, the tracker itself cannot be located without a paired smartphone.
How long does the battery last?
The ReFind R4 Smart Tracker boasts a long battery life of up to 6 months in standby mode. A CR2032 battery is included and can be replaced when needed.
Does this tracker use GPS?
No, the ReFind R4 Smart Tracker utilizes Bluetooth technology for tracking, not GPS. This means it is effective for locating items within a defined Bluetooth range.
Can multiple ReFind trackers be used with one phone?
Yes, the ReFind application typically allows you to pair and manage multiple ReFind R4 Smart Trackers with a single smartphone.
What happens if the tracker is out of range?
If the tracker goes out of Bluetooth range from your smartphone, you will receive a disconnection alert on your phone, provided the disconnection alarm feature is enabled in the app.
Is the ReFind R4 waterproof?
The product description does not specify waterproof capabilities. It is recommended to keep the device dry and clean it with a damp cloth only, avoiding submersion in water.
Troubleshooting
Tracker not connecting to smartphone
Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone. Check that the tracker has a working battery. Move the tracker closer to your phone and try pairing again through the app. Restart both your phone and the tracker.
Disconnection alarm not sounding
Verify that the disconnection alarm feature is enabled in the ReFind app settings. Ensure the app has the necessary background permissions and is not being closed by your phone's battery optimization settings.
Unable to locate smartphone using the tracker
Confirm that the tracker is within Bluetooth range of your smartphone. Ensure the 'Alarm on Demand' feature is enabled in the app and that the app is running or has background permissions.
Poor tracking accuracy or short range
Obstructions like thick walls or metal objects can interfere with Bluetooth signals. Try using the tracker in an open area. Ensure your phone's operating system and the ReFind app are up to date.
Tracker not making sound
Check the volume settings on your smartphone, as the app controls the tracker's sound. Ensure the battery in the tracker is not depleted. Test the speaker by using the 'find' function in the app.
