Instructions for charging

You should fully charge the FINDER before using it for the first time. Please proceed as follows.

Connect the supplied charging cable to the USB-C port of the FINDER.
Connect the other end of the charging cable to the USB port of a wall plug adapter.
(If no wall plug adapter is included, you can use any USB wall plug).
Plug the USB wall plug adapter into a power socket.
Wait for the end of the char-ging process. The unit is fully charged when the red LED goes out, see „1.9 Meaning of the LED lights“ of this manual.

NOTE!
In rare cases, the LEDs do not indicate that the FINDER is fully charged when char-ging for the first time. If the LED lights still do not indicate the end of charging after 10 hours of charging, please disconnect the FINDER from the power supply and start using it. Then simply check the battery level in the FINDER-Portal.
The POWER Finder offers a battery life of approx. 90 days, without charging in between! However, it should be noted that the runtime depends on the utilisation. The more the device is moved and the more alarms are sent, the higher the utilisation.

Activation
In order to use your POWER Finder, you will need to previously activate it online. Enter the following link and follow the instructions:

start.finder-portal.com

Start-up
When the activation is successfully, you can start the POWER Finder. The on/off switch is located under the protective flap.

Switch on
To turn the FINDER on, slide the switch to the right. The LEDs then flash for 5 seconds. For information regarding the LED lights, see section „1.9 Meaning of the LED lights“.

Switch off
Slide the switch to the left. The FINDER then switches off.

NOTE!
We recommend that after you start your device for the first time you move it in an open space (for example during a walk or a short car ride). This can speed up the connection process, meaning that your device will connect to the best available network more quickly. A good network connection is required in order for the device to send and log data in the FINDER Portal.

Use

As soon as your device has been successfully activated, started up and has sent and logged data for the first time, you can place it wherever you choose and use your phone, tablet or PC to start tracking it! You will be able to do this in our App or enter the following link to the desktop version:

Standby mode and location update
By default, our devices send their position to the FINDER portal every 30 seconds, so you can always see the current location there. For some devices, the transmis-sion interval is higher or can be changed in the FINDER portal.

What is the standby mode?
As soon as the FINDER is no longer moved, standby mode is activated after a few minutes to save power. This suspends the update of the location for the duration of the standstill of the unit. In the FINDER portal, the standby mode is displayed as follows:

Nevertheless, the unit naturally remains on standby and still sends alarm mes- sages. As long as the FINDER is in standby mode, only the data (time, battery status, etc.) of the last position before standby mode is displayed on the portal, as the position does not change during standby.

Online mode
At the latest, when the FINDER is moved again, the device automatically switches to active and sends its position to the portal again every 30 seconds.

Location update in standby mode

If the FINDER is in standby mode for a longer period of time, the unit will still send a new position to the portal at least every 24 – 26 hours.

Disposal of used batteries
The following note is addressed to those who use batteries or products with products with built-in batteries and who will not resell them in the form in which they were supplied to them (end users).

Free recall of used batteries
Batteries must not be disposed of with waste. You are legally obliged to return used batteries so that proper disposal can be guaranteed. You can return used batteries to a local collection point or to your local retailer. As a distributor of batteries, we are also to take back used batteries, although our obligation to take back used is limited to the type which we carry or have carried as batteries in our range.

Meaning of the battery symbols
Batteries are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out dustbin (see illustration). This symbol indicates that batteries must not be disposed of in household waste. Batteries containing more than 0.0005% mercury by mass, more than 0.002% cadmium by mass or more than 0.004% lead by mass are also marked with the chemical name of the pollutant below the dustbin symbol. The abbreviation „Cd“ stands for cadmium, „Pb“ for lead and „Hg“ for mercury.

Disposal of electric devices

The Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG) contains a large number of requirements for the handling of electrical and electronic equipment. The most important ones are summarised here:

Separate collection of WEEE
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment that has become waste is referred to as WEEE. Owners of WEEE must dispose of it separately from unsorted local waste. In particular, WEEE does not belong in household waste, but in special collection and return systems.
Batteries and accumulators
As a rule, owners of WEEE must separate spent batteries and accumulators that are not enclosed in the WEEE before handing them over at a collection point. This does not apply if the WEEE is handed over to public waste management authorities and separated from other WEEE there for the purpose of preparation for reuse.
Options for returning old appliances (WEEE)
Owners of WEEE from private households can hand it in to public waste management authorities or at the collection points set up by manufacturers or distributors as defined by the ElektroG. An online directory of collection and collection points can be found here:
https://www.ear-system.de/ear-verzeichnis/sammel-und-ruecknahmestellen.jsf
Data protection
Old equipment often contains sensitive personal data. This applies in particular to in-formation and telecommunication technology devices such as computers and smartphones. For your own sake, please note that each end-user is responsible for deleting the data on the old equipment to be disposed of.
Meaning of the „crossed-out dustbin“ symbol
The symbol of a crossed-out dustbin regularly displayed on electrical and electronic equipment indicates that the respective device must be separated
from unsorted local waste at the end of its service life.
Manufacturer registration number
As a manufacturer, within the meaning of the ElektroG, we are registered with the responsible foundation Elektro-Altgeräte Register (Benno-Strauß-Str. 1, 90763 Fürth) under the following registration number: DE33887550
