Nokia Launches the NOKIA TREASURE TAG that helps you not to lose your valuables

How many times have you left the house, only to realise you’ve left your wallet, or your phone, sitting on the kitchen table? All of us have done that, from time-to-time. well, That’s all about to change with the new Nokia Treasure Tag

Nokia ”TREASURE TAG”, a new accessory designed to make sure users of its Lumia smartphone are never parted from their handset. Or at least, that when they leave the house with their tagged keys or bag, they’ll be reminded to pick up their phone too. Or vice versa.

The tag Measures  just 30 x 30 x 10mm (roughly the size of a match box) and weighs in at just 13g.

Here’s how it works.

Pairing is simple. Either use NFC to connect, or search for the Tag within the Bluetooth* settings of your phone. The first time you pair the Treasure Tag to your phone you’ll be prompted to download the app.

If you leave the house without one or the other, the two will emit a loud tone to alert you of this fact.

If the situation arises and you hear the tone from either the phone or the Nokia Treasure Tag, you’ll hopefully be within range to hear the tone of the other device – making it very easy to locate.

Should you miss the alert for some reason, don’t worry. The clever app will help you to locate the lost item on a map, powered by HERE.

Key to the technology

You can have up to four different Nokia Treasure Tags simultaneously connected to your Nokia Lumia. If you’ve got one tag connected to your keys and another connected to your bag, you can assign ready-made icons for each. Alternatively, you can use a photo instead of an icon.

Each Tag you have connected to your Lumia can be placed onto your Start screen as a Live Tile and will be colour coded to match your Tag, giving you updates as to when the Tag was last seen. You’re then just one click away from being reunited with your belongings.

However, if you decide to leave your bag (with Tag attached) at home for the day, a long press will deactivate the Tag. Alternatively, you can mute the alarm or put it into sleep mode from the Nokia Tag app.

With a battery life of up to six months, the battery is a standard coin cell type (CR-2032), which is replaceable on the reverse of the Tag.

Nokia Treasure Tag comes in four different colours: cyan, yellow, white and black. With a recommended retail price of €24,90 ($29.90), Nokia Treasure Tag is expected to start selling in April to retailers globally.

Nokia Treasure Tag will work with Lumia phones that have the Lumia Black Update. There will also be third-party applications for Treasure Tag to support Android and iOS devices
