Seeking to answer Stan's question, the first issue is it apparently uses
bluetooth, so, I would think (hope?) that the bluetooth radio can simply be
turned off.

That was my first answer here, but maybe not ...

it could be that when you get an alert, it's too late to turn off bluetooth as the lost phone has already been locate by yours, or it could be be that even when bluetooth is "off" it's still listening for findmydevice beacons ... similar to how wifi being "off" it can still be used for BSSID location (unless you turn it *really* off).

Yet, maybe not, as the "default" will be for this feature to be turned on,
so, maybe (I don't know yet), the bluetooth radio will be on, but hidden?

Suppose we'll have to wait and see ...
This new feature is intended to work with Apple Airtags and those "Tile" trackers you can put on your keyring  or in your wallet.
