If you want to reset your Smart Finder before it has been set up and added to your Apple ID: Press the Smart Finder’s function button four times rapidly and then hold it a fifth time until you hear a ringing chime. The Smart Finder is now reset and ready to be paired. If your Smart Finder is already set up and added to your Apple ID, it should first be removed from your Apple ID before a reset is possible:
- Open the Apple Find My app and select the “Items” tab.
- Tap on your Smart Finder from the list.
- Ensure “Lost Mode” is disabled.
- Scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap “Remove ltem”.
- A summary will open, tap “Remove” to confirm.
- Press the Smart Finder’s function button four times rapidly and then hold it a fifth time until you hear a ringing chime. The Smart Finder is now reset.
To turn your Smart Finder off, hold the function button for at least three seconds. You will hear two beeps to indicate that your Smart Finder is powered off.
If the reset is not done properly, you will need to remove the Smart Finder from your Apple Find My app / Apple ID to release it from your Apple ID and to remove the Find My Lock. After that it can be added to your Find My app again with the steps described under setup.
