BeginningtousetheRoambeeSensorBee
The Roambee Sensor Bee includes a standard Micro USB connector, which is located on the side of
the device under a rubber plug (fig.1).
Figure1
We recommend charging the Roambee battery before using the device for the first time. It takes about
4 hours to fully charge the battery. You can use any approved Micro USB charger.
AccessandControl
The Roambee Sensor Bee works in conjunction with the Roambee Portal. The location and sensor
information from the Bee will be transmitted to the Roambee Portal through the cellular modem.
The Roambee portal has multiple features that enable the management of the sensor bee. Users in the
portal have the ability to locate a bee and change the configuration of the bee.
