4.2 Beacon Activation
After the beacon is connected to the MPact Toolbox, the beacon must be activated. The beacon is activated by opening and
closing the beacon’s housing (hardware), where the battery is located. These actions allow the beacon to switch from
transmitting mode to receiving mode, enabling the location and tracking of the client’s device, and allowing offers to be receive
by the client’s device.
To activate the beacon, pull the mylar strip off of the beacon housing, shown below, to the left of the housing.
Figure 4-8 Beacon Activation
When the beacon is in an active state, the beacon turns green with a blue dot, shown below. The blue dot indicates the
direction of the beacon’s signal, which should face toward the middle of the aisle.
