Deactivate your own key finder

Quick and easy: You can turn off a key finder at any time to make sure they stop communicating their location. If you turn off location sharing,

  • the Hama Finder is no longer found via the Find my Hub or the Find My app network.
  • this means that no further location updates can be retrieved.

Finding and deactivating external key finders

The "Find My" network (Android) can also be used to track down third-party item finders if necessary. If you receive a system notification on your smartphone that a key finder has been detected in your area, and you don't know this device, you can ring this item finder via the notification you receive, make it all the easier to find it and then deactivate it.

  Note

If you switch off the Hama Item Finder, the tracker no longer triggers a sound signal. However, its owner will also no longer receive any location information.
