Find My Captain Rangefinder: how it worksUpdated 22 days ago

Applies to: Captain Pro + Captain Air

The Find My feature in the Blue Tees Game App helps you locate your Captain Rangefinder when you've misplaced it — for example, left it in a cart or set it down on the course.

How it actually works

Find My works over Bluetooth, not GPS. When you tap Find My in the app, it sends a signal to your Captain telling it to play an audible tone. This only works when your Captain is:

• Powered on
• Within Bluetooth range of your phone (typically 30–50 feet / 10–15 meters)

It is not live GPS tracking. If your Captain is out of Bluetooth range, or powered off, the feature won't be able to trigger the sound.

How to use it

1. Open the Blue Tees Game App.
2. Navigate to Device Settings for your Captain.
3. Tap Find My Device (or Play Sound).
4. Listen for the audible alert from your rangefinder.
5. Walk toward the sound to locate it.

Tips for getting the best results

• Stay within 50 feet of where you think you left it — Bluetooth range limits how far the signal can reach.
• Keep your phone's Bluetooth on and connected to the Game App before you lose track of the device, since re-pairing mid-round adds a step.
• If the device is in a bag or under something, the sound may be muffled — check compartments nearby if you hear it faintly.

Find My isn't working?

• Confirm the Captain is powered on — if it powered off after being left idle, Find My cannot reach it.
• Make sure your phone is still Bluetooth connected to the Captain in the Game App. If the connection was dropped, reconnect first.
• Move closer to where you last had it and try again.
