4.2.2 BLIP in Standby mode: shake the BLIP to activate
In Standby mode, BLIP has the lowest possible power consumption. Fully charged, it supports several months of
operation while in Standby mode.
In this mode, the only active components are the accelerometer and the microcontroller awaiting activation.
When movement of the device is detected by the accelerometer by shaking the BLIP for example, the BLIP
automatically transitions to Pairing mode (see below).
In Standby mode the LED driver is only activated when the device is placed on a wireless charger.
4.2.3 Pairing mode: connecting mobile app and BLIP
In this mode BLIP activates the Bluetooth subsystem and the LED driver and the app can connect to the device.
The default timeout of this mode is 30 minutes – if the device does not detect an operational Bluetooth connection
after this time, it automatically falls back to the Standby Mode.
Successful Bluetooth connection transitions the device from Pairing mode to Boarding mode.
4.2.4 Starting the Unifly Operator app
First make sure Bluetooth is active on your mobile device.
Shake the BLIP to make sure it is in Pairing mode.
Now start the Unifly Operator app to discover the active BLIP.
When several BLIPs are active, make sure to verify the Bluetooth MAC address, D2:93:52:18:3E:AB in the figure below,
against the MAC address found on BLIP QR code (front) or label (back).
