Need help?Do you have a question about the Itek YS-BF01 and is the answer not in the manual?
The YS-BF01 (STK-12/1963) Smart Track & Find is a compact and versatile device designed to help users keep track of their valuable belongings and offers additional smart functionalities. This instruction manual provides a comprehensive guide to its operation, from initial setup to advanced features and maintenance.
The Smart Track & Find is primarily a Bluetooth-enabled tracker that connects to your smartphone via a dedicated app, "iSearching." Its core function is to prevent the loss of items such as keys, wallets, luggage, and other valuables by maintaining a Bluetooth connection with your mobile device. When the tracker moves beyond a preset Bluetooth connection distance from your phone, both the phone and the tracker will emit an alarm, alerting you to the potential loss. Conversely, if you misplace your phone, you can trigger an alarm on your phone directly from the tracker.
Beyond its tracking capabilities, the device also serves as a remote control for your smartphone camera. This feature is particularly useful for taking selfies or group photos, allowing you to trigger the camera shutter from a distance with a simple press of the tracker's button. The device is powered by a built-in CR2032/CR2032H button cell battery, offering a standby time of approximately 6 months.
Getting started with the Smart Track & Find is straightforward. After removing the device from its packaging and pulling out the battery insulating film for first-time use, you can switch it on by pressing and holding the camera button for 3 seconds until you hear two "Beep" sounds. To switch it off, press and hold the camera button for 3-5 seconds until you hear a long "Beep" sound.
Connection to your smartphone is automatic once Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and the "iSearching" app is open. The app allows you to manage multiple Smart Tag devices. To add a new device, simply click the "+" button in the top right corner of the app, and then select "Unconnected" to establish a link. Once connected, the app displays the device's status, including battery level, and offers a "Click Alarm" function.
The app provides a "Setting" button for each connected Smart Tag, leading to a submenu where you can customize various options. These customizations include adding a photo for easy identification, renaming the Smart Tag, setting up an alarm for when Bluetooth disconnects (indicating the tag is out of range), and selecting a specific ringtone for the alarm. To delete a device from the app, you can simply scroll left on its entry in the list.
The alarm function works in both directions:
The remote camera control feature is activated by pressing the "Camera" button in the app, which switches your phone to camera mode. Within this mode, you can press the camera icon in the app to switch between the front and rear cameras. To take a photo, simply press the camera button on the Smart Tag once, and it will act as a remote shutter.
For location tracking, the "iSearching" app includes a "Lost History" feature. If the Smart Tag goes out of range and is lost, the app automatically marks its last known location on a map with a pin-drop. You can then access this "Lost History" to view the record of where the item was last seen, aiding in its recovery.
The app also offers a "Do Not Disturb Mode" accessible through the "Settings" interface. By switching on "WIFI Do Not Disturb," the alert function for all devices will be temporarily shut down. You can also set a "Silent Period" to define specific times when you do not wish to receive alarms.
An additional feature, "Double click recording," is available for iOS devices. When this function is enabled, double-clicking the camera button on the Smart Tag starts an audio recording, and double-clicking again stops and saves the record file. These recordings can be accessed and played back through the app.
Battery replacement is a simple process. When the CR2032/CR2032H battery is drained, use a small flat screwdriver to gently separate the top cover from the snap gap. Insert a new battery with the negative polarity facing down, and then secure the top cover back in place.
