BT Tag GUIDE 4.8
Proprietary and Confidential
Despite the magnets, the user should avoid mounting the RTX8210/RTX8212 to a metal surface and instead use the
tape to stick it to another available exterior, if possible. An example is shown on the Image 1 where the Tag is
positioned on the wooden material, instead of the metal frame of the bed.
2.3 Power to device
The RTX8210/RTX8212 uses CR2016 in order to have power and comes with the battery already in the device. Open
the BT TAG as shown in the previous chapter and activate the battery by removing the plastic plate (See chapter 2.2.1
How to open the device for more details).
BT TAG Battery – CR2016
2.3.1 Battery operation
Thanks to the low power consumption design the BT Tag can operate up to 1 year using the CR2016 battery. The life
of the battery depends on the user scenario and how much the device is used. Moreover, the user should have in
mind that the device consumes more power when the button is pressed due to the blinking LED. For more technical
details on the battery consumption, please refer to Appendix B.
The functionality of the device is driven by the following features:
• Low battery warning – when the battery level drops to the configured threshold (2V) or below, the
LED will start blinking in red every 20 sec and the device will disable all functions. This means that
no beacons will be sent, the button and the movement detection will be disabled. The battery is
not chargeable; therefore, as soon as the battery is replaced with a new one, the functions will
resume back to normal. We advise you to monitor regularly the battery level in order to avoid
power loss.
• Power save mode – when no movement is detected, the BT Tag will go to power save mode. It will
report every 10 seconds during the movement (please see chapter 3.1 Functionality for more
details)
2.4 Power on device
After removing the plastic plate and adding the battery, assemble the Tag and press for 3 sec the button until a green
light indicator is shown (see the picture below). The green light indicates that the BT TAG is now on and it is ready to
send beacons. After powering the device, it goes to sleep in order to save power.
