The Wasserstein WTag is a smart item tracker designed to help users locate lost personal items effortlessly using the Apple Find My network. This device integrates seamlessly with Apple's ecosystem, allowing users to track their WTag alongside their other Apple devices on the Find My app.
Function Description
The primary function of the WTag is to provide an easy and secure way to locate compatible personal items. It leverages the Apple Find My network, which is encrypted and anonymous, ensuring that only the user can view the item's location. If an item goes missing, the user can enable "Lost Mode" through the Find My app, which will display a message and contact information to anyone who might find it. The WTag can be powered on or off, and it can play a sound to help pinpoint its location when nearby. It also features a reset function to prepare it for pairing with a new device.

Usage Features
The WTag offers several user-friendly features for tracking and managing items:

- Adding to Find My App: To add the WTag, users open the "Find My" app, navigate to the "Items" tab, tap "Add Item," then "Other Supported Item," and finally "Connect" once the WTag is recognized. Users can then name their device, choose an emoji, confirm their Apple ID, and agree to the terms to complete the setup.
- Locating Items: Users can locate their WTag by opening the "Find My" app, selecting the "Items" tab, and choosing the desired item. The item's location will appear on a map with a timestamp. Users can tap "Direction" for navigation or "Play Sound" to make the WTag beep, helping to find it when it's nearby. The beeping can be stopped by tapping "Stop Sound."

- Removing an Item: An item can be removed from the Find My app by pressing "Remove Item" in the app (indicated by a long beep).
- Resetting the Device: To reset the WTag, the user must first remove it from the Find My app. Then, click the button 5 times and hold it until a long beep is heard. This prepares the WTag for pairing with a new iOS device.
Maintenance Features
The WTag is designed for straightforward maintenance, primarily focusing on battery replacement:
- Battery Replacement: The WTag uses a CR2032 battery. To replace it, open the back cover by finding the gap between the top and bottom covers. Remove the old battery and insert a new CR2032 battery with the positive (+) side facing up. Finally, reassemble the top and bottom covers, pressing them tightly to secure. It is crucial to use only the same type and rating of battery with correct polarity.
- Safety Information: Proper handling is emphasized to ensure longevity and optimal performance. Users are advised to avoid dropping, burning, puncturing, crushing, disassembling, or exposing the WTag to excessive heat, liquids, or environments with high concentrations of industrial chemicals. Using a damaged WTag is also discouraged.
The WTag is a practical solution for anyone looking to keep track of their valuables, offering robust integration with the Apple Find My network and a simple, secure user experience.
