E. Pair Your PowerTrip Track
As instructed in the app, press & hold the PowerTrip Track button for 2 seconds. Select your PowerTrip Track from the list of nearby Beagle trackers.
F. Choose Mode
Choose between Find Mode and Tether Mode. These are different options that will determine how you use your PowerTrip Track. Tap on Tether Mode or Find Mode. Continue reading for more information on each mode.
Uses for Tether Mode
Tether Mode is convenient if you’re the type of person who often leaves things behind. Forgot your phone on the counter when leaving for work or forgot your purse in a restaurant? Once out of range, your devices will emit an audio alert as a reminder to go back and get your forgotten item. Additionally, Tether Mode can provide a security alarm. If someone were to take your phone or PowerTrip Track out of range without you noticing, your devices would emit audio alerts. This notifies you as well as causes the stolen item to emit an alarm.
A. How it Works
Tether Mode creates an invisible link between your mobile device and your PowerTrip Track. Both items are “in range” when within approximately 120 feet of each other. If either item becomes “out of range”, the invisible link is broken, which causes both your mobile device and PowerTrip Track to emit an audio alert.
Tether Mode
Once you hear the audio alert, the mobile device and PowerTrip Track must be brought back in range of each other for the alert to stop. If you do not know where your PowerTrip Track is, press REPORT AS LOST in the centre of the screen.
B. Alarm Toggles
Tether Mode lets you control whether your PowerTrip Track, your mobile device, or both will emit an audio alarm when they are out of range.
C. Map
You can access a map by pressing MAP on the Tether Mode home screen. The blue circle on the map shows your current location. The red pin on the map shows the last location your PowerTrip Track was in range of your mobile device. Location services on your device must be turned on.
D. Proximity Meter
This meter shows you how close you are to your PowerTrip Track when you are in range. If all five dots are green, you are right beside your PowerTrip Track. If your PowerTrip Track is out of range, the proximity meter will disappear and a REPORT AS LOST button will appear.
E. Camera
Your PowerTrip Track also allows you to remotely control the shutter of your phone’s camera. Set up a great shot from a distance or a creative angle and don’t worry about reaching for the shutter button on your phone.
Uses for Find Mode
Keep track of your bag – and everything inside it! Toss the PowerTrip Track in your backpack or purse with all of your other essentials (keys, wallet, etc), that way you can track everything at once. If you misplace your bag and its belongings, Find Mode will help you locate it.
A. Finding Your PowerTrip Track
If you have misplaced your PowerTrip Track, and the items it is with, simply open the Beagle 2.0 app on your mobile device and tap FIND. The PowerTrip Track will emit an audio alert allowing you to easily find it. As you search, the proximity meter will help you know if you are getting closer to or further from the PowerTrip Track.
B. Finding Your Phone
Find Mode also works in reverse. If you have misplaced your phone but have your PowerTrip Track, simply press and hold the power button for 3 seconds. Your mobile device will emit a loud audio alert, making it simple to find.
C. Proximity Meter
This meter shows you how close you are to your PowerTrip Track when you are in range. If all five dots are green, you are right beside your PowerTrip Track. If your PowerTrip Track is out of range, the proximity meter will disappear and a REPORT AS LOST button will appear.
D. Map
You can access a map by pressing MAP on the Find Mode home screen. This will come in handy if you can’t locate your PowerTrip Track, but see that it is out of range. The blue circle on the map shows your current location. The red pin on the map shows the last location your PowerTrip Track was in range of your mobile device. Location services on your device must be turned on.
A. Settings

FAQ

Here are a few things to check if your PowerTrip Track won’t pair:
- Have you downloaded the correct app? The PowerTrip Track is compatible only with the “Beagle 2.0” app.
- Is your operating system up to date?
- Is your Bluetooth on?
The way that Search Party works is that it registers your Beagle on the Search Party list. This list is made up of all the Beagle users who have also registered for search party internationally.
Once a Beagle has been reported lost, all the apps of the other Beagle users on the Search Party list will be anonymously on the lookout for your Beagle behind the scenes. Meaning that if your Beagle comes within Bluetooth range of someone who has the Beagle app on their phone and is registered for Search Party, the app will recognize your lost Beagle and will send you an alert via email telling you the area where your Beagle made a connection with the other user.
This is a great back-up tool for lost Beagles, but is not a 100% guaranteed way to find your Beagle as your Beagle may not be in an area where another Beagle user gets close to.
A few important things to note about Search Party:
• Your Beagle must be registered for Search Party before it gets lost, while it is still connected to the app. If you registered your Beagle for Search Party when the Beagle was already lost, the app would not be connected to the Beagle so there would be no information for Search Party and it would not work.
• You must tap “Report as Lost” on your Beagle app home screen for your Beagle to be registered as lost in the Search Party network.
- Press FORGOT PASSWORD on the Search Party login screen
- Enter your email and press SUBMIT
- You will receive an email with further instructions
When you register or log-in to the Beagle app with your email address, you are logging in to the Search Party feature. You do not have to register your Beagle in the app, but you will not be able to use the Search Party feature without being registered.
Important to note: If you lose your Beagle and you are not logged in to the Beagle app, the Search Party feature will not work. The Search Party registration is connected to your app, not the Beagle itself. This means that any Beagle connected at the time you are logged in will be covered by Search Party. If you log in when your Beagle is already lost, there will have been no Beagle paired during that log in session so there is no data for Search Party to use.
To switch your PowerTrip Track to a new device,
- Delete your PowerTrip Track from the app (BeagleScouts can only be paired to one device at a time so you will be unable to pair with the new device if it is still paired with another)
- Download the Beagle 2.0 app on the new device that you would like your PowerTrip Track to be paired with
- Pair your PowerTrip Track as usual
- If you have already registered for Search Party, press SKIP FOR NOW
- In your home screen, press the menu button in the top left corner
- Press LOGIN under Search Party
- Enter your email and password
In order to use Maps, you will have to make sure that Location is turned on. Please refer to your mobile device’s manual on how to enable Location.

Tether Mode has a number of uses, including security alerts. If someone has taken your bag without you noticing, and there is a PowerTrip Track in it, the audio alert will sound when they are out of range. This will likely startle the thief or draw attention to them, hopefully encouraging them to drop or return your bag. If they had the ability to stop the audio alarm by simply clicking the PowerTrip Track button, there would be no incentive for them to leave the item behind.
