Troubleshooting

Pros and Cons
Pros
- Sustainable design using ocean-bound plastic
- Cost-effective rechargeable USB-C battery
- Fully waterproof IPX7 construction
- Reliable Apple Find My ecosystem support
Cons
- Not compatible with Android smartphones
- Requires manual charging rather than long-life disposable cells

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Boomtag, ensure your Apple device is running the latest version of iOS. Open the Find My app, select the "Items" tab, and tap "Add New Item" to pair the tracker via Bluetooth. For charging, use a standard USB-C cable; the status light will indicate when the charge is complete. Regarding care, the IPX7 rating means you can wipe the device down with a damp cloth if it gets dirty. Avoid exposing the USB-C port to prolonged underwater submersion without the protective cover if applicable, and ensure the casing remains free of heavy debris to maintain optimal Bluetooth signal range.
