If your MyTag still does not connect please contact us via our Contact Page to explain what is happening so we can assist.

If you cannot find your MyTag using your phone, it may be because you haven’t selected the MyTag you are looking for, your MyTag is out of range, or because the MyTag is inside or underneath something that means you cannot hear it.

Press the  button and make sure you select the MyTag you are looking for from the list.     Then go back to the main screen and press the MyTag alert button at the bottom of the screen.

If you cannot hear your MyTag, check the main screen on the App – if the App shows your chosen MyTag as CONNECTED, watch the Signal strength indicator and move – the strength will either go up or down.

 Continue to move in a direction that makes the signal strength increase.  Re-press the MyTag button at the bottom of the screen every time the button stops flashing.  This makes the Audible Alert sound again on your MyTag.  As you get closer you should hear your MyTag Alert to help you find your MyTag.

If your App shows your chosen MyTag is DISCONNECTED – move around your house or location until it connects. Then press the MyTag alert button at the bottom of the main screen.

14

If your MyTag remains DISCONNECTED it means that you are not coming into the range of your MyTag.     It may be that you lost your MyTag somewhere else.  

☐

15

If you find your MyTag and it still shows on the App as DISCONNECTED, please delete your MyTag from the MyTag list on the App, Check your MyTag (Steps 1 & 2 above), and re-pair your MyTag with the App (steps 5 -10 above).

If your MyTag still does not connect please contact us via our Contact Page to explain what is happening so we can assist.

If you cannot find your Phone using your MyTag, its because either:

• The MyTag Finder App is not running in the background on your phone
• You are out of range of your phone
• Your phone has run out of charge or is switched off
• Your phone is switched to “Silent” and you happen have a brand of Android phone that does not allow us to override the “Silent” switch

17

Once you find your phone, check the following:

• That your MyTag is paired to your phone and is connected
• That you leave your MyTag Finder App running in the background on your phone (this means you do not close the app down when you open another App)

When you have your MyTag next to your phone, check the phone alert works by pressing the button on the MyTag.
