Introduction
The finder is compatible with Google’s Find Hub Device network. Once paired with an Android device, the finder operates as a Google Find Hub Device locator tag until it is reset to factory settings.

Remove and Re‑pair the Finder
Users can remove the finder from Google’s Find Hub Device app on the Android device. If the finder is within Bluetooth range of the Android device, it will automatically perform a factory reset when it receives the command from the device.
If the finder is out of Bluetooth range, the user should perform a factory reset on the finder either before or after removing it from the app (see the instructions for the factory reset). To re‑pair with an Android device, follow the instructions in the “Get started with an Android device” section.
