Find your model

Tile says the Pro, Mate and Slim have a QR code printed on the back.

Changing the battery

  1. Open the battery door. On the Tile Pro (2024), press a paperclip into the pinhole above the door and slide it off; on older Pros and the Mate (2018, 2020), press on the door and slide it off.
  2. Take out the old battery and put in the new one with the positive (+) side showing.
  3. Close the door so it’s completely sealed, or the battery may not connect.
  4. Tap Find in the Tile app. The Tile should ring.
