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.
