FAQs

How does the Metabo GPS Tracker locate my items?

The tracker uses Bluetooth to communicate with nearby Apple devices (for "Where is?") or Android devices (for "Find My Device"). When another device in these networks comes within range of your tracker, it anonymously and securely reports the tracker's location back to you via the respective app.

What is the range of the tracker?

The effective range is determined by Bluetooth technology, typically around 30-50 feet (10-15 meters) directly. However, its tracking capability extends far beyond this using the vast crowd-sourced networks of compatible smartphones.

Does the tracker have its own GPS?

No, the Metabo GPS Tracker does not have its own GPS receiver or cellular connection. It relies entirely on Bluetooth and the existing "Where is?" (Apple) and "Find My Device" (Android) networks for location reporting.

How long does the battery last?

The tracker is equipped with a CR2450 battery that can last up to 3 years under normal usage conditions before needing replacement.

Can I use this tracker with both iPhone and Android devices?

Yes, it is compatible with both iOS devices through the "Where is?" app and Android devices through the "Find My Device" network.

Is the tracker durable enough for job sites?

Yes, it is IP67 certified, meaning it is dustproof and waterproof, making it suitable for challenging environments like construction sites.

How do I attach the tracker to my equipment?

The tracker can be clipped almost invisibly into metaBOX systems. It also features additional fixing options for secure attachment directly onto various objects.

Troubleshooting

Tracker not appearing in "Where is?" or "Find My Device" app

Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone. Verify the tracker is within Bluetooth range. Try restarting your smartphone. Ensure the tracker is properly paired according to the setup instructions for your operating system.

Inaccurate location reported

Location accuracy depends on the crowd-sourced network. Ensure your item is in an area with other compatible devices nearby. The reported location is the last known point where another device detected the tracker via Bluetooth.

Loud beep function not working

Confirm the tracker is within Bluetooth range of your paired device. Check the battery level of the tracker; a low battery may affect functionality.

Tracker won't pair

Make sure the tracker is not already paired to another account. Reset the tracker if possible (refer to manufacturer's specific reset procedure if available, though not detailed in product info). Ensure your phone's OS is up-to-date.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Tracks items reliably using established network infrastructure (Apple's "Where is?" and Android's "Find My Device").
  • Durable construction with IP67 rating for dust and water resistance.
  • Extremely long battery life (up to 3 years) minimizes maintenance.
  • Versatile attachment options, including integration with metaBOX.
  • Provides an audible alert for quick location when nearby.
  • Compact size makes it unobtrusive.

Cons

  • Tracking accuracy and range depend on the density of the respective network (Apple or Android) in the area.
  • Does not have its own cellular or GPS connection, relying solely on Bluetooth proximity and network crowd-sourcing.
  • The CR2450 battery is not rechargeable and will require eventual replacement.
  • Primarily designed for item tracking, not for real-time, continuous GPS monitoring of moving objects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Insert Battery: Ensure the CR2450 battery is correctly installed.
  2. Pairing (iOS): Open the "Where is?" app on your iPhone or iPad, tap "Items," then "Add Item," and follow the on-screen instructions to add the Metabo GPS Tracker.
  3. Pairing (Android): Open the "Google Home" app, navigate to the "Find My Device" section, and follow the prompts to add a new tracker.
  4. Attachment: Securely attach the tracker to your item using the integrated clip for metaBOX or the provided fixing options.

Compatibility:

  • iOS Devices: Compatible with iPhones and iPads running a recent version of iOS that supports the "Where is?" app.
  • Android Devices: Compatible with Android smartphones and tablets that support the "Find My Device" network and can utilize the Google Home app.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the tracker with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the tracker is dry before reattaching.
  • Water Resistance: While IP67 rated, avoid prolonged submersion in water beyond normal environmental exposure. Ensure any seals or attachment points are secure.
  • Battery Replacement: When the battery is depleted (indicated by the app), carefully open the tracker casing and replace the CR2450 battery.
