Troubleshooting Find MyUpdated 2 hours ago

Apple Find My integration is available on select models like the Phantom 2.0, allowing you to track your scooter using Apple's network of devices. If location updates fail or the scooter doesn't appear in the Find My app, follow these steps to resolve common issues.

When to Use This Guide

Use this if:

  • Your scooter shows as offline or lost in Find My.
  • No location updates appear despite the scooter being powered on.
  • Setup fails or the device isn't discoverable.

Note: Find My works best in areas with many Apple devices. Not all Apollo models support it natively—check your model's specs.

Common Symptoms

  • Scooter not detected in Find My app.
  • Location last updated hours or days ago.
  • "No location found" or offline status.
  • Setup pairing fails during initial connection.

Possible Causes

  • Low battery or in deep sleep.
  • Poor network proximity.

Step-by-Step Solutions

Step 1: Verify Basics and Power Cycle

  • Charge the scooter fully, as low battery prevents Bluetooth broadcasting.
  • Press and hold the M button for 2 seconds to make it discoverable (headlight may flash).
  • Restart your iPhone and open Find My.

Step 2: Re-Pair in Find My App

  • Open Find My > Tap the + icon > Select "Add Other Item."
  • Name your scooter (e.g., "Phantom 2.0"), add an emoji if desired, and connect.
  • If already added, remove the device: Items tab > Select scooter > Remove Item > Add again.
  • Stay within 30 feet during pairing.

Step 4: Test Bluetooth and Reset Connections

  • Forget the scooter in iPhone Bluetooth settings, then re-pair.
  • Toggle Airplane Mode on/off on your iPhone to refresh connections.
  • Test with another iPhone to rule out device issues.
  • Perform a controlled reset: Power on scooter, plug in charger briefly, unplug, power off/on.

Step 5: Advanced Reset

  • If Bluetooth persists as issue, remove handlebar assembly, disconnect/reconnect comm cable.

Prevention Tips

  • Use Apollo App lock alongside Find My for layered security.
  • For non-supported models, add an AirTag in the stem.
