Using the Magnet
The Kilo beacon is turned ON and OFF using an external magnet near
an internal magnetic reed switch, and operation can be identified by
viewing the LED through the top of the Kilo.
To turn the Kilo on, begin swiping the magnet slowly up and down
at the location of the reed switch. The reed switch is located along
the top of the cylindrical section of the Kilo.
Note:
If the initial color of the LED is Green after a single swipe, the
Kilo is already operational.
A flashing green LED indicates the device is in the process of
powering up. Continue to swipe the magnet until you see a solid green LED. A solid green LED
indicates that the device is powered and operational.
To turn the Kilo OFF, repeat the above procedure with the magnet and watch the LED change
from green to red. A red flashing LED indicates the device is powering down. Continue to swipe
the magnet until you see a solid red LED. A solid red LED indicates that the device is turned OFF.
At any time, the magnet can be placed against the location of the reed switch once to see which
mode the beacon is currently in. A red LED indicates the device is turned OFF. A green LED
indicates the device is turned ON.
It is important to wait for all LED’s to turn off before initiating another action.
Cycling power for any reason, for example by using the switch to turn OFF/ON or by
removing battery power, will start the startup interval.
NOTE:
If after starting up, the red LED continuously flashes and/or beeping occurs for an
extended period of time, the device is experiencing a
