CERTIFICATION MARKS
The QTM-DMC10 is a small device where it is impractical to label the certification marks in a legible manner. As such, the certification markings are included in this manual as shown below.

INSTALLATION

INSTALLING/REPLACING COIN CELL BATTERY To install or replace the battery:

• Use the new battery, key, coin or screwdriver to turn the battery cover anti-clockwise about 90 degrees until the cover pops free.

• Insert the CR2032 battery positive (+) side up.
  CAUTION: Use only CR2032 to prevent damage to your ZeroKey Device .

• Replace the battery cover by pushing down slightly and turning the cover clockwise about 45 degrees until it locks in place.

INCLUDED DOT MOUNT

Installing Dot in universal mount:

• Line up any one of the eight grooves around the perimeter of the device with OPEN text embossed on the dot mount
• Press down on the shell of the device (blue areas shown below) firmly until both sides click firmly into the mount.

Removing Dot from universal mount:

• Ensure the unit is in clear line of sight to at least 4 Anchor nodes while configuring.
• Ensure the unit is in clear line of sight to the Gateway
• Ensure the unit is on the same channel as the Gateway and Quantum RTLS System.

Once power has been supplied to the system, refer to section 2.3.1 to verify that all devices are on and on and have entered idle state. Before affixing the QTM-DMC10, ensure that the device is detected by the ZeroKey Spatial Intelligence platform.

NOTE: For more information on system calibration, see ZeroKey Support Materials at zerokey.com.

CALIBRATION
The QTM-DMC10 is one component of a greater positioning system. To calibrate the ZeroKey Quantum RTLS for tracking the QTM-DMC10, see the ZeroKey Quantum RTLS System Guide.

OPERATION

The QTM-DMC10 is a Quantum RTLS Mobile node. In Quantum RTLS, the mobile node is a tracking reference and should be attached to the person or object of interest in the tracking system. In regular operation the user attaches the mobile node to their clothing, equipment or asset in an outward-facing manner. The user then goes about their standard day-to-day activities. The QTM-DMC10 will provide updated location data to the ZeroKey Spatial Intelligence Platform whenever the unit detects that it is moving. The QTM-UMR10 will interact with Anchor nodes and any Gateway devices in the Quantum RTLS system. Mobile nodes do not interact with each other.
