Gigaset G-tag Manual

Overview

Gigaset G-tag helps you keep track of your valuables. Simply attach a G-tag to an item, e.g. your car keys, and register it on the G-tag app. Your smartphone will show you how far away the item is and alert you as soon it's no longer nearby.

The app helps you find things. If the item is beyond the range of the smartphone, you can find out where it was last seen. You can create groups of tags to make sure you have all the items Gigaset you need with you for a particular occasion, e.g. when you leave the house.

G-tag sets up a wireless connection between your smartphone and the tags via Bluetooth. The app is always active and can monitor up to five items at the same time.
