Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and improved to comply with the limits of a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This FCC Certifications equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy, if
installed and used not in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determinedly turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
■ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
■ Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
■ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
■ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept an interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications are not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance which
could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.

When a tagged item is misplaced, you can use the Base unit
to search for it, if it is within a 300 ft / 100 m (line of sight)
radius. Try this first in an open area (e.g. large room, or in
your yard).
1. Take the Base Unit and stand apart from the Tag unit
(about 15-20 ft). On the Base unit, press the Search
Button once. The Base unit will begin to chirp and the
Tag unit will begin to beep.
2. Before searching, you must first calibrate the Base to
the current terrain and environment. Hold the Base unit
in front of you at chest level, and scan the area slowly in
a circular direction, from right to left for 360° (a) and
again from left to right (b), one 360° turn in 3-4
seconds.
Note: You don’t have to scan a full 360°; you can use a
narrower search angle (e.g. 180°).
Note: If the “Direction Indicator” illuminates green on the
Base unit during this calibration process, it does not yet
indicate the Tag unit’s direction.
3. Next, begin the search by slowly scanning a third time
from right to left (c). The “Direction Indicator” on the
Base Unit will illuminate (green) when it establishes the
direction of the tagged item location.
4. Move in the direction of the Tag Unit. As you approach
the Tag unit, the frequency of the chirping and
blinking (LED) on the Base Unit will increase.
5. If the Tag unit is hidden (e.g. in a pocket), you can
MUTE the Base unit by holding down the button on the
Base unit, allowing you to follow the Tag beep audible to
pin-point Tag unit’s location.
1. In an enclosed room, the green direction indicator may show a false tag location. This is because the RF
signals may be reflecting off of walls from different angles. In this case, hold down the button on the Base unit
to Mute the Base chirping and follow the Tag beep audible to pin-point its location.
2. This product uses RF signals which can penetrate walls and floors - however, these signals are also sometimes
affected by materials and terrain, such as bodies of water, metal/wire fences, concrete walls, and crowds (e.g.
in malls, amusement parks) - for children, it is important to teach them to move to open areas when lost to
assure optimal conditions for searching from the Base unit.
The Tag units have an additional function of allowing a child or elderly dependent to call the Base unit for help. To
activate the Panic alert, press and hold down the panic button on the Tag unit; the Base unit will beep and blink
brightly. When the Tag button is released, the Panic alert ceases.

Q. In search mode, why does the Base unit show a false direction or several different directions?
A. The Base unit collects and compares RF signal strength from the Tag unit to determine location. However, when the Tag
unit is already very close to the Base unit, the signals can appear emanating from several directions. This can also occur
when both units are in an enclosed environment, which causes signal reflection off of walls from different directions,
indicating a false location. If this is the case, you can mute the Base unit, and simply follow the audio beep issued by the
Tag unit during search mode.
Q. Why does the Base unit occasionally indicate a false direction?
A. This is also caused by the reflection or blockage of the signal. Signal reflection from walls or wire fences sometimes may
indicate a false location. A body of water (e.g. fish tank) for even people may block the signal and weaker reflected
signals from surrounding metal objects may indicate a false direction. To remedy this problem, try adjusting your position,
wait for the “Status Indicators” to settle and try your search again.
Q. What can cause a false out-of-range alarm?
A. False alarms are caused by:
- Base and Tag units being too close to each other.
- Low battery charge on Base or Tag units
- Either the Base or Tag unit being placed in a pockets with other items, blocking the signals.
Q. Why is the range alarm distance not consistent?
A. Because radio signal strength and signal reflection are affected by the environment and terrain, users may need to
adjust the out-of-range distances to compensate for environmental factors.
Q. No Alert when the Tag unit is out of range
A. - Check for low battery on both units
- Check the out-of-range distance - if the Tag unit is set for “Far”, you may need a greater distance before setting off
an Alert.
1. The Tag units are water-repellent, but not waterproof! Keep the device dry. Precipitation, humidity, and all types of liquids
or moisture can contain minerals that may corrode electronic circuits. If your device gets wet, remove the battery, and
allow the device to dry completely before replacing it.
2. If you want to use the device during air flight, please comply with the air safety regulations for each respective country.
3. We reserve the right to change the hardware/software specifications and designs, as well as the information in the
manuals, at any time without prior notice.
4. Proper operating temperatures for this product are between 14˚F ~140˚F (-10˚C~60˚C). Proper Storage
Temperatures are between -4˚F~185˚F (-20˚C~85˚C) .
5. Under low battery charge conditions, both Base and Tag will alert with a beep every 2 minutes - in this case, replace
batteries immediately. Low battery conditions may result in unpredictable product behavior, such as low alert volume
and false readings. To save battery charge, turn off both units when appropriate (e.g. evenings at home).
6. The Batteries provided in this product should be disposed of properly according to national or regional recycling
regulations - contact local authorities for more information.
Warning: Do not expose the batteries to fire or heat - this may result in danger from explosions.
