Putting Mini Tags into Deep Sleep
Putting Mini Tags into Deep Sleep
If a tag is activated, you can put it back into the deep sleep state at any time to preserve the
battery.
It is not possible to
accidentally
put a tag into deep sleep because the tag sets a 'challenge' and
expects a 'response'. The LED will blink one or more times and you respond by pressing the
button or swiping the magnet on the tag the same number of times. The tag then repeats the
challenge and you respond again. After the second challenge and a successful response, the LED
blinks brighter than normal and then switches off indicating the tag is now in deep sleep.
Putting a Tag into a Deep Sleep
To put a tag into the deep sleep state:
1. Hold a strong magnet (such as a fridge magnet) against the reed switch for a few seconds.
The LED stops blinking in readiness for the first challenge.
2. Remove the magnet from the reed switch. Count the number of times the LED blinks. This
can be from two to five blinks.
3. Hold against and then remove the magnet from the reed switch the same number of times.
Count the number of times the LED blinks.
4. Repeat Step 3. The LED on the tag does a dim to bright transition, and the tag enters the
deep sleep state (the state in which it was shipped).
Note
: If you hold and remove the magnet from the reed switch the wrong number of times
during Steps 3 and 4, the tag starts blinking again. If this occurs, restart the process as described
in Step 1.
