Without a doubt, the loss of a phone can be equated with the loss of documents, a diary or a notebook in terms of the severity of the damage. And if the switched on phone can always be found at the first call, then the switched off or discharged device is not so easy to find.
It is necessary
- - documents and instructions from the phone;
- - long wooden lath;
- - metal detector that reacts to non-ferrous metals;
- - passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation.
Instructions
Step 1
Think about where you saw your phone, or the last place you used it. Searching will be easier if the phone has been lost in a confined space where there are no unauthorized persons. Still, there is a small chance that even a phone lost on the street can be returned to its owner.
Step 2
Explore the area where the phone is supposedly lost. If the device was last used at home, you should do a general cleaning, paying special attention to hard-to-reach places: spaces under furniture, openings between the wall and the bed, etc. The device can fall into the most unpredictable place by falling off the table and rolling under the sofa. Pets also have a tendency to play with unfamiliar objects. Therefore, to make sure, you need to tap all inaccessible corners with a length of a wooden stick. It is better not to use steel rods in order not to accidentally damage furniture or the phone case.
Step 3
Recall if your phone has an alarm and if the phone supports this feature when off. If all the conditions are met, you just need to wait for the interval between signals and turn off all devices that emit noise at the time set for waking up.
Step 4
Try using a non-ferrous metal detector if the steps above do not work. Search services are provided by specialized agencies.
Step 5
Contact the lost property office if your phone is lost on the street, in public transport or in a crowded place. If the person who found your device decided to keep the find for himself, then police officers are authorized to carry out further searches.
Step 6
Write a statement to the city ATC department, indicating the approximate time and place of loss, as well as the basic codes of the device, which are indicated in the accompanying documents. Using the system of fixing the signal from the switched off device, the police in a short time find out the coordinates of the location of the cellular device. In this way, even phones with a completely discharged battery can be detected. The secret lies in the fact that the power source of phones is never completely discharged, leaving a reserve stock.
