Status button
•
For a new device out of the box or a device that has had the battery replaced, the status button turns
the device on.
For a new device, press the button twice: First to power on, then press it again
to light the LEDs and connect to network.
•
For a device already in operation, the button wakes up the device.
•
Whenever the status button is pressed, the device:
o
Performs status checks for device battery level, network connection and GPS.
o
When connected to both the network and GPS, the device then sends a location update
(check-in) to Reveal, in addition to its usual check-in schedule.
The status button
does not
turn the device off, which is why we don’t call it a power button. Should there
be a reason to take the device out of operation, the device’s back cover can be removed, and the battery
pack disconnected.
