E. Pair Your BeagleScout
As instructed in the app, press & hold the BeagleScout button for 2 seconds. Select your BeagleScout 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 BeagleScout. Tap on Tether Mode or Find Mode. Continue reading for more information on each mode.
Uses for Tether Mode
When you’re travelling, you spend a lot of time in public places – on the plane, in the airport, at hotels, etc. In these scenarios, Tether Mode can provide you with a security alarm. If someone were to take your phone or BeagleScout 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. Additionally, 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 keys 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.
A. How it Works
Tether Mode creates an invisible link between your mobile device and your BeagleScout. 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 BeagleScout to emit an audio alert.
Tether Mode
Once you hear the audio alert, the mobile device and BeagleScout must be brought back in range of each other for the alert to stop. If you do not know where your BeagleScout is, press REPORT AS LOST in the centre of the screen.
B. Alarm Toggles
Tether Mode lets you control whether your BeagleScout, 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 BeagleScout 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 BeagleScout when you are in range. If all five dots are green, you are right beside your BeagleScout. If your BeagleScout is out of range, the proximity meter will disappear and a REPORT AS LOST button will appear.
E. Camera
Your BeagleScout 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
Find Mode is for you if you often find yourself wondering where you left your phone or rushing around the house to find your keys before you leave. At the airport, put your BeagleScout in Find Mode to find your luggage at the carousel with ease. When you are in range of your BeagleScout and luggage, your Beagle app will notify you. You will then be able to watch the proximity meter fill as your luggage gets closer to you, making this process simple and stress free.
A. Finding Your BeagleScout
If you have misplaced your BeagleScout, and the item it is attached to, simply open the Beagle 2.0 app on your mobile device and tap FIND. The BeagleScout 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 BeagleScout.
B. Finding Your Phone
Find Mode also works in reverse. If you have misplaced your phone but have your BeagleScout, simply press and hold the BeagleScout button for 2-3 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 BeagleScout when you are in range. If all five dots are green, you are right beside your BeagleScout. If your BeagleScout 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 BeagleScout, 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 BeagleScout was in range of your mobile device. Location services on your device must be turned on.
E. Camera
Your BeagleScout 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.

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 BeagleScout to a new device,
- Delete your BeagleScout 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 BeagleScout to be paired with
- Pair your BeagleScout 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.
You may have to force quit the Beagle app and reopen it to reestablish the connection.
The app may have gone to sleep and you will need to force quit the app and reopen it.
Tether Mode has a number of uses, including security alerts. If someone has taken your wallet without you noticing, and there is a BeagleScout 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 wallet. If they had the ability to stop the audio alarm by simply clicking the BeagleScout button, there would be no incentive for them to leave the item behind.
