The parameters provide flexibility in configuration of timing and operation of the tracker for different use cases. For example, a
fixed location asset tracker may be suited to scanning less often than a mobile tracker.
The configuration parameters affect how often the tracker operates in each mode and therefore has a direct impact on
responsiveness/latency of the log entries and battery life of the device. These parameters must be considered carefully for the
log data to serve the purpose of a specific tracking application.
The highest power usage occurs during the time the tracker is scanning/discovering other trackers. In this mode, the device is
both transmitting its BLE advertisements and has the radio receiver turned on to discover nearby trackers for logging. The
defaults target use cases where batteries are changed about once a month. If more time is necessary, the scan interval can be
increased (scan less frequently), the scan duration can be decreased (scan for a shorter time period), or the advertising interval
can be adjusted to keep the radio in sleep mode more often, thus extending useful battery life. TX power is also a consideration
as higher power settings reduce battery life.
Note: Scan interval, scan duration, and ad interval can be set separately for Active mode, Non-Active mode, and Power-
Save mode. By increasing the scan interval and reducing the scan duration and ad interval during Non-Active mode
and Power-Save mode, the tracker can conserve battery life when motion is not detected. For best power savings,
set Power-Save mode scan duration to a value of zero to keep from scanning altogether when the tracker has been
idle (no motion) for an extended period.
The BT710 tracker supports over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates when paired with an appropriate Laird Connectivity mobile
application or gateway product. The process uses a standard DFU mechanism that can be incorporated into customer
apps/products for compatibility.
