There is no battery shipped with the tag. User has to put 2x CR2032 coin batteries inside the tag. The figure on the
right is an instruction for inserting the battery.
Users can also power the tag by a micro-USB cable from a standard USB host port(like the USB port in a PC) or normal
smartphone charger.
There is a power switch like in
the figure below. Switching
on/off depends on the power
source. After power on, it starts
and continuously advertises the
beacon message through BLE.
