There are a couple reasons your device shows as Already Claimed when you try to add it to an account.
 
If you have previously used your device:
The most common explanation for an "Already Claimed" device is a second account. Devices are claimed to an email address, not the phone itself. This means that if you have accidentally logged in using a different email address than originally used, the device will not show up in the app. To resolve this, log out of the app and log back in using whichever email address was originally used to create an account. If you're unable to find the correct account, please contact our support team for additional help. 

If you have never claimed your device before:
Please temporarily download the BLE Scanner app. It is available on the App Store and the Google Play Store. Open the BLE Scanner app and navigate to the list of nearby devices. You should see a device called "FNDR" (if using Finder or Finder 2.0) or “CARD” (if using BlackCard). Please select this device and email a screenshot of its information to support@pebblebee.com. We are looking for an identifier called "manufacturer data". This will allow us to look up the device in our servers and unclaim it. 

The Left Behind feature offers another method for preventing lost items. When enabled, the phone will sound a loud alert if it notices the Finder has been completely out of range of the phone for too long (about 10 minutes).

Can I change the timing on it to alert sooner?
No, the longer alert time is designed to prevent false alerts from happening, making the alert far more reliable.

Can I choose a different tone?
Absolutely! Under the settings for it, choose from a variety of tones, or select "Vibrate Only" to receive a more subtle notification.

Is this available on both Android and iOS?
This feature is currently available on iOS and Android. 

CrowdGPS® offers another way to help locate misplaced items. If your Finder is completely out of range of the app and can't be located, mark it as Lost in the settings. This activates the entire Pebblebee community. If your Finder comes within range of anyone using the Pebblebee app, you'll receive a notification that your device has been found and will see an updated location for it. 

To turn off your phone alarm from your Finder, press the Finder button once.
If you're using an Android phone, slide the notification that says "click: sound alarm playing" to close it. 
If you're using an iPhone, slide the notification that says "swipe to stop sound" and open the Pebblebee app. 

Enable as action is essentially turning on a feature. After you've set up the feature, you would enable it as an action to start using the feature. If enable as action wasn't turned on, the feature would be disabled. 

Please make sure Find my Phone is setup in device -> settings -> Find my Phone. Then, double press your device button to trigger your phone alarm.

The Finder communicates with your phone via your phone's Bluetooth connection. As long as it is in range of your phone, you can track and find your Finder at any time. If it's out of range, you can see the last known location and return to where you left it.

If you've misplaced your phone, press the Finder's button to trigger your phone to alarm, helping you quickly locate it.

Please make sure that bluetooth is enabled and that the Finder is fully charged. If you're using an Android, download an app called SweetBlue Toolbox and press "bond" and "connect" for a device called FNDR. Then, return to the Pebblebee app and press FIND.

It's very small and compact! It measures at 30mm diameter x 9mm.

It's loud enough to be heard up to 200ft, so finding it under couch cushions or in piles of laundry is easy.

The Finder has a range of up to 200ft in open environments, with a typical range of 100-150ft depending on the environment. How far is this? Well your typical living room is about 15ft wide to give you an idea!

The Pebblebee Finder app is compatible with iPhones running iOS 9.3 and above, and with most Android phones running Android 4.4 and above. It is not currently compatible with the OnePlus One.

The Finder uses an easily replaceable CR2032 battery and has a battery life of up to a year.

1. Get a small flathead screwdriver or similar tool.
2. Find the small notch on the Finder. It's on the top of the plastic on the bee logo side, in the key ring hole.
3. Use the screwdriver as a lever to carefully pry the top (the side with the logo) off toward you. The inner parts will come out as well.
4. Carefully remove and replace the battery.
5. Snap the pieces back together. Make sure it's fully snapped together.

**Please make sure you are on the correct side of the Finder. Using excessive force on the back piece of the Finder, which does not come off, may damage the plastic.

While there's no hard limit to how many Finders can be added to an account, we recommend a limit of 10 for better performance and ease of management.

Continuous beeping of the Finder (without being pinged from the app) indicates that the battery is defective. Please contact support@pebblebee.com for replacement batteries. Feel free to remove the batteries (as described above) to stop the beeping.

The Finder beeps anytime the button is pressed to let you know that the button was successfully pressed. (Not sure where the button is? It's the front of the Finder, where the bee logo is.) If your Finder is not beeping when you press its button, there are a couple possible explanations.

1. The Finder's battery needs replacing. The Finder has a battery life of up to a year. If you're nearing a year or use your Finder frequently, it may be time to replace the battery. After replacing, the Finder should beep again when pressed.

2. There could be an issue with the device itself. If you've ruled out that the battery needs replacing, please contact the team at support@pebblebee.com and we'll be happy to help figure out the cause and solution.

Once you've found the item your Finder is attached to, press the button on the Finder to stop the sound.

Put the plastic tool provided in the package into the two little holes on the battery cover and turn about 1/8 a turn, until it stops, unlocking it. The seal on the lid may make it stick a little, in that case it is easiest to either push the battery out from the other side, or use tape to stick to the cover and pull straight out. If you have misplaced the tool, two dull pen tips can be used as well.

If the light on the Honey stays on when a battery is placed in, the device can be remotely fixed by resetting the Honey. To do so, please remove the battery and reinsert it. After removing, please short the two metal leads in the Honey by using a metal object such as a spoon or knife to touch against the metal leads in the Honey. That will release any power buildup and restart the system. Then insert the battery again.
