Charging With Fyndr®
Here’s a tip – If your electronic device has
minimal power remaining, turn it off whilst
using Fyndr® to maximise the charging
speed. Turning off electronic devices whilst
charging reduces power consumption to
virtually nil whilst plugged in, increasing
their rate of charge.

surrounding environment to help locate
your car later on (Fig.08).

location with family and friends. Simply

phones and environments. Fyndr® works
best in uncovered parking spaces.

Using The Fyndr® App
1. Fyndr® app needs to be constantly
running in the background to ensure
that it is able to save/pin your parked
car’s location when you turn off your
car’s engine.
2. Fyndr® app uses Bluetooth 4.0 Low
Energy to save your parked car’s
location and it uses GPS to track/locate
it. Note that phones with GPS turned
on have greater battery usage than
smartphones that have GPS disabled.
Troubleshooting
What happens if Fyndr is directing me to my
parked car location and it is not there?
Fyndr will always take you to the location
where your vehicle was last parked. If Fyndr is
directing you to a location and your parked par
is not located in this location, it may indicate
your vehicle has been moved from this location.
If your vehicle is not located where Fyndr has
directed you, someone may have moved it.

Troubleshooting
What should I do if the Fyndr® charger is not
pairing with the Fyndr® app?
Make sure that the Fyndr ® car charger is
plugged into the car’s 12V power socket and
that your car engine is turned on before
attempting to pair the Fyndr ® car charger with
the Fyndr ® app. If this doesn’t resolve the issue,
please reboot/restart your phone by turning it
off completely and then turning it back on, then
try to pair again.
Can I leave Fyndr® charger in my car or do I need
to take it with me?
You can leave your Fyndr ® in your 12V power
socket – you do not have to take it with you.
When parked, your car and have turned off
your engine, Fyndr® will automatically pin your
location using the GPS on your phone.
What happens if I park my car and Fyndr cannot
locate my location to pin?
Fyndr will detect the location of your parked
car with GPS access. If parked indoors or
in an underground/multi-level cart park,
Fyndr may lose GPS signal. In this instance
Fyndr will suggest you take an image of your
surroundings using your smart phone camera
to help ind the location of your parked car.
