Page 5: Product Overview
The PRD will alert the user before the phone is lost rather than being a device that finds the phone after it is lost. Losing a phone is stressful and the PRD is there to prevent that from happening in the first place. -
Page 6: Phone Compatibility
Google Pixel (Android) May be Compatible: If the phone is not on the above list it does not mean the PRD is not compatible. Instead, it means the PRD has not been tested on the phone and Prox Devices cannot guarantee or warrant that the PRD will work with it. - Page 7 To turn the PRD on, firmly press and hold the button for approximately five (5) seconds until you hear the power-up sound and see a blue LED. Once the PRD is turned on, it is designed to be left on continuously 24/7.

- Page 9 5. On your phone, go to Settings and turn off Bluetooth. Move PRD to hear separation alert. Turn Bluetooth back on to hear reconnect sound. (This shows that the PRD is working.) Put phone down and walk away with PRD until you hear a separation alert (approximately 50 feet to 150 feet).
- Page 10 3. In your Bluetooth settings, under Available devices, tap “PRD_XXXX” (e.g., PRD_3AE2). Note: If the PRD device name is not displayed, tap "Scan" to refresh the list. If the PRD still doesn't appear, simply turn the PRD off by firmly pressing and holding the button...
- Page 11 Note: If your OS version is asking for a mouse app to be installed at any time, please ignore the request by closing the pop-up, as an app is not needed to use the PRD. 5. Keep the PRD next to your phone for 30 seconds for the connection to be fully established before using the PRD.
- Page 12 2. Next, go to Connected devices and tap on Pair new device. Note: If your phone’s Bluetooth is off prior to this step, then tapping on Pair new device will automatically turn Bluetooth on and prepare your phone for pairing with the PRD. 3. Tap on PRD_XXXX (e.g., PRD_3AE2) to pair.
- Page 13 4. The pairing has been completed. Keep the PRD next to your phone for 30 seconds for the connection to be fully established before using the PRD. If pairing is done in the Bluetooth section, you will need to go back to Connected devices to see that the PRD is paired with the phone.
- Page 14 Transferring PRD to New Phone After the initial pairing, if the PRD is to be paired with a different phone, it will need to be unpaired from the first phone. If the first phone is no longer available because you traded it in to your phone carrier or manufacturer, unpairing the PRD from the first...

After successfully pairing the PRD to the phone, keep the PRD next to your phone for 30 seconds for the connection to be fully established before using the PRD. The video instructions for transferring the PRD to a new phone are located at the end of the pairing video above. - Page 18 It is designed specifically with the user in mind. This feature is unique to the PRD in that it does not disable the phone's keyboard and it does not require the PRD to be turned off as with other remote shutter control devices.
- Page 19 Short alert distance settings might be unsuitable, depending on the phone location — e.g., in the back pocket while the PRD is in the front pocket. If the phone is kept in the back pocket or in a side holster and false alerts from the PRD occur, simply increase the alert distance power setting.
- Page 20 It will not alert if the PRD has been set down and is still. The premise is that you are on the move with the PRD and © 2021-2024 Prox Devices, Inc. All rights reserved.
- Page 21 Travel Mode (optional) — Alerts when the PRD is moving as in Home Mode, AND alerts if the phone is moving and no longer in proximity of the PRD, regardless of whether or not the PRD is moving, and because of this, you may experience an increase in phone separation alerts.
- Page 22 If Bluetooth is manually turned off on the phone, the PRD will disconnect. The very next time the PRD is moved, it will give an alert. From there, it will not give anymore alerts until Bluetooth is turned back on and the PRD is moved. This is good for meetings, classes, and the like where the phone is not present and further alerts are not desirable.
- Page 23 (e.g., washing a car and walking around the car multiple times). It is also beneficial if the PRD is separated from the phone and trying to avoid the PRD from going into a low power state due to inactivity.
- Page 24 Note: The PRD is designed to continuously search for the phone if the PRD is moving. So, if the PRD is on the move for extended periods of time, and the phone is out of range, the battery will drain at a faster than average rate, thus reducing its life. This might be typical of professions where people are on their feet for eight (8) hours without their phone (as noted by the red line in the graph above).

Page 25: Low Battery Warning
If you receive a low battery warning and don’t have immediate access to a new battery, but still need to use the PRD as a phone reminder for a little bit longer until you are able to replace the battery, simply take the battery out and insert the same battery back into the PRD. - Page 26 4. Replace the cover, making sure all corners of the cover are fully snapped in. (This is very important as the PRD will not function properly without the cover being securely fastened.)

Once the battery is replaced and the RPD is turned back on, the PRD will be restored back to its default settings.
