Introduction This  document  is  intended  to  be  the  source  reference  material  for  using  the  Smart Beacon  product,  with  the  exception  of  electronic  configuration  (including  set-up  and interaction with the on-line monitoring portal). The emphasis here is upon describing the physical features, correct installation and removal etc. 2. Equipment Description          The Smart Beacon is a multi-function RF Beacon to be used in conjunction with the Smart Tag device as an  optional accessory. In addition to providing an intelligent link to the Smart Tag, the unit also provides a method of direct communication with the subject via text messages to the display, or two-way voice communication which can be initiated in either direction. The call function can be configured to allow the subject to call one or more pre-defined numbers, such as the monitoring centre, or an SOS number such as ‘999’. 3. Smart Beacon Installation The  Smart  Beacon  is  designed  to  sit  discreetly  in  any  domestic  setting,  with  no permanent fixing necessary it should sit securely on any table, work surface or floor. The Smart Beacon will require permanent connection to a mains power supply, however battery back-up is provided in the event of mains power failure. When the unit is plugged into a mains power supply the red LED on the front face will change to green, indicating that mains power is connected.  The RF Beacon should not be installed this equipment in a place where it will be exposed to high temperatures, such as near an open flame or heat-emitting equipment.

COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE  To avoid interference to nearby appliances, do not place the Dock or Communications Clip  on  or  near  a  TV,  microwave  oven,  or  VCR.  If  this  RF  Beacon does  cause  harmful interference to radio or television reception,  increase the  separation between the RF Beacon and receiver. 4. Smart Beacon Operation The  Smart  Beacon  communicates  via  GSM  (with  a  PSTN  option  where  required)  to  a server based monitoring platform, which interprets the data provided to populate a web portal user interface. The data sets include the following:  Event Time.  GPS Location (Intervals can be defined, or a real-time request made).  Speed of Motion.  Battery Level.  Mains Power On / Off.  Signal Strength.  Case Tampering.  Alerts (Based upon one or more of the above). The Smart Beacon LCD will display the time as default, but will also display text messages sent to the subject by the monitoring centre. The integrated speaker and microphone provide for two-way voice communications, which are controlled by the three buttons on the top surface of the device. The LCD has an adjustable backlight, which is controlled by the round button on the front surface.

COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE When in proximity to a Smart Tag, the Smart Tag will not attempt to achieve new GPS fixes, resulting in significantly less demand on the Smart Tag battery power. The  Smart  Beacon  and  Smart  Tag  together  can  be  configured  to  provide  a  curfew monitoring  system,  with  GPS  back-up  when  required,  resulting  in  much  improved battery life for the Smart Tag. 5. Sanitization and Re-Use 5.1. Smart Beacon 5.1.1. Collection When collecting a Smart Beacon from a subject protective gloves should be worn.  Note any obvious sign of damage.  Return the Smart Beacon to the vehicle for inspection and cleaning. 5.1.2. Inspection The Smart Beacon should be inspected for signs of damage, units with damage should be dealt with in accordance with local protocols. Damage includes any significant surface marking which may be indicative of the unit being exposed to high impacts or tampering. Areas that require special attention are;  The LCD display.  Seams between casing elements.  Surfaces surrounding buttons.   Check the buttons still function, including the backlight.  The condition of the 3 security labels on the bottom surface.  The power cable.  The bottom surface of the unit, around where the power cable enters. 5.1.3. Cleaning If there is any heavy soiling or biological matter on the unit that is unlikely to be easily removed by a sanitising wipe, then the unit should be cleaned thoroughly in line with local protocol. It should be noted that the Smart Beacon is only a splash proof product and therefore it is important not to fully immerse the unit in any liquid.  To sanitise a Smart Beacon in the field the following process should be followed;  Wear gloves.  Rub the unit vigorously with an approved sanitising wipe, ensuring all surfaces receive a good covering of alcohol.  Allow to dry in a well-ventilated area. The unit can then be returned to stock for re-use.
