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

<http://andyburns.uk/misc/findmy-helppage.png>

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).

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.
