SmartCard Quick Setup GuideUpdated a few seconds ago

Step 1

Meet SmartCard

SmartCard is a card-thin tracker for your wallet. It works with Apple Find My or Google Find Hub, so you can find your wallet from your phone.

  • Apple Find My
  • Google Find Hub
  • Wireless charging
  • Card-thin

This guide covers SmartCard and SmartCard Pro. Setup is the same for both.

Turns SmartCard on and pairs it. It is a physical button: press firmly until you hear a click.

Step 2

Charge up

SmartCard does not come with a fully charged battery. To fill up, place the card's silver chip face down on any wireless charger. You'll feel a slight magnetic pull, and the LED will light up when charging is active.

Which charger: any Qi wireless charger with a flat surface and at least 15W output. Pucks and stand-style chargers shaped for phones won't make solid contact with the card.

Step 3

Wake up SmartCard

Power on SmartCard by holding the Pairing Button for 5 seconds.

A rising tune and 3 flashes from the Status LED mean SmartCard is awake and ready to pair.

Step 4

Prepare your device

SmartCard works with Apple's Find My and Google's Find Hub. Make sure the right tracking app is installed on your phone.

For iPhone

Go to the App Store and search "Find My". Install it if it isn't already on your phone.

For Android

Go to the Play Store and search "Find Hub". Install it if it isn't already on your phone.

Tracking only works with one platform at a time. Pair SmartCard to either Find My or Find Hub, not both.

Step 5

Pair to your iPhone

  1. Make sure SmartCard is on (see Step 3).
  2. Open the Find My app and go to the Items tab.
  3. Tap the + icon at the top right of the Items sheet.
  4. In the pop-out menu, tap Other Item.
  5. When your phone finds SmartCard, tap Connect.
✓
Your SmartCard is ready to go!

Step 6

Pair to your Android

  1. Make sure the Find Hub app is installed and SmartCard is on.
  2. Go to your phone's home screen and hold SmartCard next to the phone.
  3. A pop-up will ask if you'd like to pair SmartCard. Tap Connect, then Agree and Continue, and give it a name.
✓
Your SmartCard is ready to go!

Troubleshooting

If SmartCard doesn't appear on your Android phone, follow these steps in order:

  1. Press the Pairing Button once to wake the card. You'll hear one beep and see one flash on the Status LED.
  2. Open your phone's settings, search for Devices, then tap Devices – Google Play Services.
  3. Turn on Scan for nearby devices. SmartCard should appear under Available devices nearby. Tap it and continue from step 3 of "Pair to your Android".

Tips and more info

Proper placement

  • Slide SmartCard into an outside pocket of your wallet or bag.
  • Metal wallets, RFID sleeves and dense materials can interfere with tracking.
  • Once SmartCard is connected in Find My or Find Hub, its location updates whenever any device on that network passes near your card. If the location doesn't change for a while, that's normal.

What battery does SmartCard Pro use?

A 350 mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery that lasts up to 24 months per full wireless charge.

Is the button touch-sensitive?

No. It's a physical button that takes a little force to press. You'll hear a click when it works.

Which wireless charger should I use?

Any Qi wireless charger with a flat surface and at least 15W output. A flat surface matters most: pucks and stand-style chargers shaped for phones won't make solid contact with the card.
