High dust and water protection (IP67) and 3 year battery runtime.
The "Find My" network helps you find lost Apple devices like iPhones, iPads, AirTags or Metabo Trackers – worldwide. It uses a large network of devices to determine the location of your lost items. And the best thing? The entire process is secure and anonymous.
How does it work?
1. Lots of other devices help: Imagine a large number of Apple devices, like iPhone and iPads, that are connected to one another. They form a large network, like a group of friends working together.
2. Your Tracker is lost – imagine you've lost your Tool, to which the Tracker is attached. If it is near another Apple device, this device can "see" your Tracker.
3. Bluetooth makes it possible: Your Tracker transmits a small, anonymous signal via Bluetooth. Other Apple devices nearby can receive this signal.
4. Location transmission: The receiving device sends information on the location of the iPhone to the Apple server. Don't worry – everything is encrypted, so no one but you knows which device is where.
5. You receive a message: If you are looking for your lost device, you can view the location of the lost device on a map in the "Find My" app.
Warning on your cell phone:
If you have a Metabo Tracker with you that doesn't belong to you, your cell phone will send you a message.
