MAIN FEATURES & HOW TO USE THEM
• Last known location
• The map in the XY app is designed to help you retrace your steps to locate your item, in case you miss the KeepNear™ alert or if the alerts are turned off.
• The XY app uses your device’s GPS, along with the signal strength to calculate the approximate location where your device was when it had contact with the XY Find It. This is
why we recommend having Location set to it’s highest accuracy setting.
• The GPS accuracy varies by device and it’s also affected if there is no clear line of sight between your device and the GPS satellite, causing the location to display as the building
next door or across the street in some cases.
• KeepNear™ alerts
• The XY app triggers a push notification through your device whenever it loses contact with the XY Find It to help you avoid leaving an item behind and losing it in the first
place
• You can turn alerts off/on for each item any time by selecting your item from the My Items screen, then tap the KeepNear™ icon. If the bell icon next to KeepNear™ has a
line through it, this means alerts are off.
• Beep to find
• If you can see in the app that your item is nearby but you can’t find it, you can activate the” beep” feature which would make your XY Find It beep to help you locate it.
• To activate this feature, select the item from the My Items screen, then tap the on “beep” at the bottom of the screen. If you have an XY2 or XY3, the “beep” button will
change to “stop”, in case you wish to manually stop the sound before it stops on its own.
• XY3 beacons allow you to also ring your phone by pressing the button on the beacon, in case that’s misplaced to help you find your phone faster.
• Community lost & found
• If you can’t locate an item on your own, you can mark it as “lost” within the app which would send you an email whenever your item goes within range of any device running
the XY app. The email will include the new approximate location to help you find your item.
• iOS users can report an item as lost by selecting the item, then tap “more..”, then tap “Help! I lost it!”. Android users, would tap the icon at the top-right corner after
selecting the item.
