Tether Mode
Uses for Tether Mode
Tether Mode is convenient if you’re the type of person who often leaves things behind.
Forgot your phone on the counter when leaving for work or forgot your keys in a restaurant?
Once out of range, your devices will emit an audio alert as a reminder to go back and get your forgotten item. Additionally, Tether Mode can provide a security alarm.
If someone were to take your phone orTouchFind out of range without you noticing, your devices would emit audio alerts.
This notifies you as well as causes the stolen item to emit an alarm.

Tether Mode Alerts
A. How it Works Tether Mode creates an invisible link between your mobile device and your TouchFind. Both items are “in range” when within approximately 120 feet of each other. If either item becomes “out of range”, the invisible link is broken, which causes both your mobile device and TouchFind to emit an audio alert.
A. How it Works Once you hear the audio alert, the mobile device and TouchFind must be brought back in range of each other for the alert to TouchFind.
B. Alarm Toggles Tether Mode lets you control whether your TouchFind, your mobile device, or both will emit an audio alarm when they are out of range.
C. Proximity Meter This meter shows you how close you are to your TouchFind when you are in range. If all five dots are green, you are right beside your Spot.
If your Spot is out of range, the proximity meter will disappear.
D. Camera Your TouchFind also allows you to remotely control the shutter of your phone’s camera. Set up a great shot from a distance or a creative angle and don’t worry about reaching for the shutter button on your phone.
